'The guy he was with was a bloke called Darren, who was one of the coaches from the church team Alpha & Omega. 'I said to Darren, "this kid is good, can I get him down to QPR?". 'What we agreed was for Raheem to keep playing for the Alpha & Omega side and I would inform John O’Brien, who was in charge of the QPR Under-16s, and arrange for him to come up and watch him.

When he was Under-11 they signed him and I got £50 from the club for him. 'I was scouting for them at that time. I fell out with John, even though I knew him personally. 'When he was 12, John Creith got involved with Rangers as youth development officer, but he never took him down there – I did. I got paid for it. 'But John was there on the day I spotted him playing for his school.' Click to rate please log in to view this image DailyMail on Facebook
