Olympian Blake's note to Sterling
He got his first Barclays Premier League start just two days ago – but 17-year-old Raheem Sterling is already on the radar of the second fastest man in the world.
Jamaican sprinter Yohan Blake – who came second to Usain Bolt in the Olympic 100 and 200 metres - tweeted our teenage winger following Sunday's 2-2 with Manchester City.
Like Blake, Sterling was born in Jamaica, but he moved to London at an early age. This is what Blake wrote...
Hail up fellow Yardie-- Raheem Stirling of Liverpool FC!Big up yourself @sterling31
