LEW KID ON THE BLOCKS

Rico ready for centre stage

- JEREMY CROSS

Some of the biggest and brightest stars in the footballing galaxy will be on view at the Etihad tomorrow.

That’s where Manchester City and Liverpool will resume battle in the biggest game of the Premier League season so far.

And it’s safe to assume those with a ticket haven’t shelled out to go and watch Rico Lewis in action.

Think more Erling Haaland, Mo Salah, Bernardo Silva or Virgil van Dijk, to name but a few.

Lewis isn’t even the most famous person in his own family, let alone on a football pitch.

His dad, Rick Lewis, is a two-time British Thai boxing champion, while his grandfather is a talented bassist who once went on tour with Eric Clapton.

But all this is about to change because Lewis’ rise to the top is on course to be supersonic.

Up until being called into the England squad last week, Lewis had snuck under the radar somewhat, content to let those around him hog the limelight.
