Before becoming one of the world’s biggest football stars, Jude Bellingham was so highly regarded at Birmingham City that the club retired his number 22 shirt when he left for Borussia Dortmund in 2020, despite him being just 17 years old. It was a major step forward from the year prior and a first chance to glimpse the star he would eventually become. In 2019, he had been named as the 49th most exciting teenager in English football, along with the likes of Reece James and Phil Foden, now he seems to pretty clearly be at the forefront (especially after his world cup performance). #judebellingham #judebellingham22 #bellingham - @hidden.ny
