When Will Mellors-Blair first joined the Manchester United academy at the age of 10, he had the world at his feet and dreamed of becoming a Premier League star like his idol Thierry Henry.
Mellors-Blair, who started out as a no.10, played in the same Man Utd team as Jesse Lingard and Ravel Morrison and enjoyed his football at Carrington. But he could only play for the Red Devils during the school holidays and travelled to Walsall throughout the season due to it being a shorter distance from his hometown of Nottingham.
However, Mellors-Blair's life took a huge turn when his father passed away when he was just 13.
