RAHEEM STERLING should be approaching the peak of his career.
He doesn't turn 30 until next month, the age when mos footballers of his standing feel in their prime.

He was using his position and profile to lead the fight against racism.
But these days Sterling can't even get a game for the club he's on loan at, having been discarded by Chelsea.
A club so desperate to get him out of the building they are paying the bulk of his wages on behalf of a rival.
