David Moli dreamed of becoming a household name in the Premier League during his days as an age-group international in Liverpool ’s academy.
And while a decade on he’s on the brink of achieving that status, it’s as football’s artist of choice rather than the goalscoring centre-forward he once was.
The 28-year-old, who goes by the name ‘Boogie’ Moli in the art world, was always a keen drawer but didn’t pick up a paintbrush — not properly, anyway — until his career was ended by injury four years ago and he needed something to keep his mind busy. Now his work hangs in the homes of Raheem Sterling, Jack Grealish, Reece James, Antonio Rudiger and Fikayo Tomori, Mason Holgate and Reece James.
