Micah Richards
Micah Richards is one of the most exciting young talents in football, and has established himself as Manchester City's first-choice right-back.
Having made his debut in 2005 at the age of 17, Micah quickly established himself as a first-team regular and announced his arrival on the world stage with a last minute headed equaliser against Aston Villa in the FA Cup. He was named Manchester City's Young Player of the Year during the 2005-06 season, as well as captaining England U21s to the final of the U21 European Championships. In 2008 Micah was nominated as the Professional Footballers' Association Players' Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year Awards.
Despite the huge wealth of the club following its purchase by Sheikh Mansour in 2008, with signings including Carlos Tevez, David Silva, Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure, Micah has remained an ever-present for City. Despite his age, he's already made more than 200 appearances for City's senior side, as well 13 appearances thus far for England.
Micah secured his first piece of major silverware with City as he helped the side to the FA Cup trophy in 2011, including a late winner against Reading to book Roberto Mancini's men a place in the semi-final of the competition. Having also played a prominent role in City's charge to Champions League qualification in the same season, the 23-year old made his Champions League debut against Bayern Munich in October.
