Wandsworth in south west London was a playground for Michail Antonio when he was growing up and the local park owner would chase him to get off his grass. For the record, Antonio was never caught.
He has not stopped running since — his pace helping him to explode into the England squad. His selection by Sam Allardyce on Sunday came out of the blue and there is no clause in Antonio's contract to say he can expect an international bonus for the call-up — because nobody thought to ask for it.
Just like Jamie Vardy, Antonio's story takes him from non-League to big league.
