Born on July 30, 1981, in Richland, Washington, Hope Amelia Solo is the daughter of Italian-American Vietnam War veteran Jeffrey Solo and Judy Lynn (née Shaw). She has three siblings, a half-sister, Teresa, and two brothers, Dave and Marcus.

Her parents divorced when she was six years old. A year later, her father took her and Marcus to Seattle where they lived out of a hotel for several days.

Solo studied speech communications at the University of Washington in 1999 after graduating from high school. During her time with the Washington Huskies, she was mentored by head coach Lesle Gallimore and goalkeeping coach Amy Griffin.

After Hope and Jerramy welcomed twins Lozen and Vittorio on March 4, 2020, one of the couple’s five Doberman Pinschers, Conan, passed away after being shot.

Solo said of her beloved dog’s tragic death, “Conan was kind and loving. He wandered 30 yards from our home before he was shot. As animal lovers, we struggle to understand why anyone would shoot pets of any kind.

Solo was one of the celebrities whose n*de photos were leaked on the internet after several iCloud accounts were hacked in 2014. In June of that year, she was charged with assault in the fourth degree after being arrested for allegedly attacking her half-sister and nephew. In January 2015, the charges were dismissed. They were reinstated in October 2015 and again dismissed in May 2018.

Hope is passionate about philanthropy, serving on the board of the Women’s Sports Foundation and supporting the Boys and Girls Club and Street Soccer USA. In 2011, she participated in Bank of America’s “Let’s Run Together” campaign at the Chicago Marathon, which led to a $5,000 donation being made to the Seattle Humane Society.

Life of Raheem Sterling

Sterling, who was born in Jamaica to Jamaican parents, went to London when he was five years old. He started his career at Queens Park Rangers before joining Liverpool in 2010. In 2014, he received the Golden Boy award.

Sterling was described in 2013 as claiming he was influenced by his mother “I am not completely religious, but my faith is strong. When the time comes, I will totally embrace Christianity.” He also stated that he believes in God and prays on a daily basis. Melody Rose, his daughter from a previous relationship, was born in 2012.

Shaquille gets his middle name from his grandmother, who was living in America at the time and wanted to name him after Shaquille O’Neal. Sterling was arrested on August 8, 2013, for an alleged common assault on his former girlfriend, a model. On September 20, he was found not guilty at Liverpool Magistrates Court after the complainant was unable to provide consistent evidence.

A few months earlier, on 20 May 2013, a case of common assault against another lady was withdrawn after a witness failed to appear in court. Sterling was purportedly captured by the Sunday Mirror using a shisha pipe and by The Sun breathing nitrous gas for recreational purposes in April 2015. 

Brendan Rodgers, the manager, stated, “It’s as simple as that: I don’t think it’s something you should be doing… Young players make errors. That is all that matters as long as they learn from them.” Sterling made a “significant” gift to individuals affected by the Grenfell Tower tragedy in June 2017, which killed 71 people.

Sterling was attacked outside Manchester City’s training field on December 16, 2017 by a guy who yelled racist remarks at him. Karl Anderson, a 29-year-old convicted football hooligan, pleaded guilty to racially aggravated common assault four days later and was sentenced to 16 weeks in jail and a £100 fine.

The Guardian complimented Sterling’s fortitude and bravery in opting to play barely four hours later. Sterling had an M16 weapon tattooed on his thigh, which drew condemnation from anti-violence organizations; in response, Sterling stated that the tattoo had a deeper significance and alluded to his father, who died when Sterling was two years old.

The way the British tabloid media, such as The Sun, cover and portray Sterling has been criticized, with pieces judged unfair and racist by analysts like Ian Wright. Sterling was selected one of the 100 most influential Black Britons in both the 2020 and 2021 editions of the annual Powerlist.

Raheem Sterling was named a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2021 Birthday Honors for her contributions to racial equality in sports. He established his own philanthropic foundation at his previous school, Ark Elvin Academy, in November 2021. 

The Raheem Sterling Foundation’s mission is to “inform, empower, and encourage young people to be better equipped for the future and to embrace chances for greater social mobility.” “My foundation is founded on my experiences, triumphs, and the numerous hurdles I overcame,” Sterling said during the launch. “I now want to assist young people succeed and be the best they can be.”

Sterling’s international career paralleled the implementation of the “home nations agreement.” It wasn’t until September 2009 that FIFA agreed to the English, Northern Irish, Scottish, and Welsh Football Associations’ bids to revise the agreement. 

This allowed players schooled in their country for five years or more to become eligible for their national team. Sterling made his England under-16 debut in a match against Northern Ireland in November 2009.

Sterling was chosen to represent England at the 2011 U-17 World Cup. At England’s opening 2–0 triumph over Rwanda in Pachuca, he scored a long-range goal.

He also scored against Argentina in the second round, which England won on penalties 4–2. Sterling was called up to the senior England squad for the first time on September 10, 2012, for a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Ukraine, where he was an unused replacement. 

He was called up to the England under-21 team for the first time in early October, and made his debut as a substitute against Serbia on October 16. On 13 August 2013, he scored his first goal for England U21 in a 6–0 triumph over Scotland.

Sterling made his senior England debut on November 14, 2012, starting in a friendly against Sweden. Raheem Sterling got his second cap and was awarded man of the match as England defeated Denmark 1–0 in a friendly match at Wembley Stadium on March 5, 2014.

He was chosen to England’s 23-man team for the 2014 FIFA World Cup on May 12, 2014.

On his fourth cap, Sterling slipped into Antonio Valencia, who retaliated by grabbing Sterling’s neck in a pre-tournament friendly against Ecuador in Miami on June 4; both earned red cards for their actions. Valencia later apologized for his outburst. Sterling started England’s first group encounter, a 2–1 loss to Italy in Manaus, on June 14, and was recognised as the team’s best player.

Raheem Sterling scored his first senior goal for England in a 4–0 UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania at Wembley Stadium on March 27, 2015. Sterling scored his second goal of the qualifying campaign in a 2–0 victory over Estonia on October 9, 2015, by which time the squad had already qualified. He was one of the final 23 participants picked for the competition.

He was included in England’s 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Sterling scored twice in a UEFA Nations League group game against Spain on 15 October 2018, snapping a 27-game goal drought for England. England eventually won the match 3–2.

Sterling scored his first hat-trick for England in a 5–0 triumph over the Czech Republic at Wembley Stadium in a UEFA Euro 2020 qualifier on March 22, 2019.

Sterling scored twice in a 6–0 win over Bulgaria in October 2019. Sterling’s first goal of the game tied him with Eric Brook and Francis Lee for the most England goals scored by a Manchester City player (10). Sterling’s second goal in the game gave him the single record in this category.

Raheem Sterling was dismissed from the England team in November 2019 after fighting with international teammate but club rival Joe Gomez. Sterling scored the only goal in England’s UEFA Euro 2020 campaign opener against Croatia on June 13, 2021. On June 22, he also scored the only goal in England’s 1–0 triumph over the Czech Republic, helping the team finish first in Group D.

In the round of 16, he scored the first goal against Germany on June 29. England won the match 2–0 and advanced to the quarterfinals. Sterling won a penalty in extra time during England’s semi-final match against Denmark on July 7, when the score was 1–1.

Dietmar Hamann, an ex-Liverpool/Manchester City player, and others accused him of diving in this event. The penalty was saved, but Harry Kane scored on the rebound.

Life of Ashley Young

Young was born in the Hertfordshire town of Stevenage. He has one elder brother and two football-playing younger brothers, Lewis, who made his Watford debut in 2008, and Kyle, who was training at the Arsenal Academy in April 2009. Young went to Stevenage’s The John Henry Newman School and played school football with Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, who was in the same year.

Young’s Jamaican-born father is a Tottenham Hotspur fan, whereas Young, like his older brother, is an Arsenal fan. Ian Wright was his inspiration and “role model on and off the field.” Since June 2015, Young has been married to Nicky Pike. They had planned a wedding in 2011, but it was cancelled two days before.

Young has played in a number of positions, primarily as a winger, but also as a forward – under Boothroyd at Watford and once under Van Gaal at Manchester United – and in a free role behind the striker at Aston Villa. Young was reinvented as a defender in his final years at United, playing as a left-sided full-back or wing-back.

According to WhoScored’s Martin Laurence, “Luke Shaw can’t get a kick at Manchester United, and that’s down to the form of Ashley Young, who has adapted to another new role excellently.” On present form, the 32-year-old should be regarded England’s first choice rather than merely making the cut.”

Young was played as a right-back in a 3-0 Champions League win against Basel on September 12, 2017, contributing with the opening goal with a cross to Marouane Fellaini in the 35th minute. Young was also captain for the match. Young has courted controversy, having been accused of diving by the press and having discussed diving to gain an unfair edge with previous managers Sir Alex Ferguson and David Moyes.

Ashley Young Net Worth

Ashley Young is a veteran in the English football scene. He holds a strong position. Therefore, Aston Villa pays him a hefty 5.45 Million Euros per annum. His current market value has dipped significantly. It now stands at an approximate 1.03 Million Euros. He has a net worth of approximately 15 Million Euros as of 2023.

Football Career

Club Career

Early Career

Young joined the Watford youth system when he was ten years old. He grew up there until the summer of 2001, when he was notified by the club that he would not be receiving a full scholarship and would have to search for another team. Despite being turned down, Young remained with the club on a part-time basis, working hard to develop his game and establish he belonged in the first squad.

Despite being 16, he began training with the Under-18s and was starting games before the conclusion of the season. He advanced to the Under-21s before being handed a professional contract by the club. Ray Lewington gave the 18-year-old his first-team debut in September 2003, when he scored as a substitute against Millwall.

That season, he made five substitute appearances, scoring three goals, and got his first start for the club in the League Cup. Young rose to prominence during the 2004-05 season, appearing in 34 of Watford’s league games as they battled for survival in the Championship.

Despite failing to score, his efforts this season earned him the club’s Young Player of the Season honour. Young was given a fresh lease of life as a striker and right winger under Aidy Boothroyd in the 2005-06 season.

Watford

Ashley Young appeared in 41 League matches, scoring 15 goals. It includes a playoff semi-final goal against Crystal Palace. As Watford qualified for the play-offs and subsequently defeated Leeds United 3-0 to secure promotion to the Premier League.

Young scored a number of remarkable goals that season, including free-kicks against Plymouth Argyle and Leeds, a 30-yard strike into the top corner against Coventry City, and a curling shot against Queens Park Rangers. He was sent off for the first time in his career during this season, in a local derby away at Luton Town.

He started Watford’s Premier League season brightly, scoring three times in the league, including a last-minute strike in a 3-3 draw with Fulham (he also scored Watford’s second goal in the match) and a goal against Middlesbrough in October, in Watford’s first win of the season. In the League Cup, he also scored a free kick in a 2-1 home win over Hull City.

Three unknown teams made £5 million bids for the under-21 international during the January 2007 transfer window.

Watford turned down these attempts, as well as a £7 million bid from an unknown club. West Ham United accepted an upgraded bid of over £10 million. Young, though, turned down the offer, preferring to wait for offers from teams where relegation was not a concern.

On November 4, 2008, Young signed a new four-year contract extension through 2012. On 10 January 2009, Young was named Premier League Player of the Month for December, with O’Neill, who was named Manager of the Month.
