Trafford’s Rising Stardom at Man City…
James Trafford is back at Manchester City, and he’s closer than ever to achieving his goal of being City’s No.1, something he’d happily broadcast since his early academy days. The only thing brighter than his confidence is a mother-in-law’s opinion on your cooking. Even at 18, his analytical mind and farm-honed toughness made it clear he could handle whatever fans hollered from behind the goalposts. With a style to match his words, he’s learned the goalkeeping ropes both on and off the pitch over the years.
Trafford recently spoke after playing the first half against Palermo, reflecting a matured respect for Newcastle’s interest and City’s Ederson, whom he aspires to emulate. But don’t worry – the cheeky lad who once asked to start a match just for saving a training penalty is still there, only with a bit more polish. Now 22, he’d be ecstatic to guard City’s net for a decade – about the same amount of time it takes to properly teach a llama how to juggle. Having re-signed him for a cool £13m, this could indeed be a colossal coup if Trafford secures the goal for the next ten years!
