Alphonso Davies
Canada · #19 · Left-back
Alphonso Davies is one of the best left backs in the world, playing for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. His extraordinary story — born in a refugee camp in Ghana to Liberian parents who eventually settled in Edmonton, Canada — has made him one of sport's most compelling human interest stories. Known for his blistering pace and ability to break forward, he transformed the concept of the modern attacking full-back.
Born in Buduburam refugee camp, Ghana, to Liberian parents who were fleeing civil war; obtained Canadian citizenship in 2017 after the family settled in Edmonton.
