Get to know Academy defender George Langston with our quick-fire Scholar Spotlight interview...
First ever football match?
From what I can remember it was the friendly between Portugal and Brazil in 2007 at the Emirates. Being half Portuguese is probably the reason I was there!
Favourite footballer growing up?
My favourite footballers growing up were Vincent Kompany and Sergio Ramos. They were both great defenders.
Favourite football kit?
The Portugal 2018 World Cup kit. The red base, gold numbers and names on the shirt are just beautiful in my opinion.
Biggest influence on your career?
That would be my family, but Mum and Dad especially.
Most talented team-mate?
Sonny Blu Lo-Everton. Everything just comes naturally to him when he’s on the ball.
Most used app on your phone?
YouTube. I always enjoy watching old football matches and historic sporting events on there.
What’s on your pre-match playlist?
BOP by DaBaby would be my choice at the minute.
Which footballer are you similar to?
I think Toby Alderweireld would be the player I’d say I have similarities to.
What sport would you play if you didn’t play football?
I would play cricket. From when I was young, I always enjoyed playing cricket in the summer when football wasn’t on.
Dream stadium to play in?
Westfalenstadion – the Borussia Dortmund stadium. The atmosphere there looks electric and something you would really want to play in.
Dream 5-a-side team, including yourself?:
Ter Stegen, Langston, Messi, De Bruyne, C.Ronaldo.
