After hanging up his boots at the age of 24, David Moli now sells artwork to footballers and celebrities - including former Liverpool housemate Raheem Sterling.
David Moli dreamed of achieving Premier League greatness as he rose through the ranks of Liverpool 's youth academy, sharing a home with Raheem Sterling while crafting his trade on the field. But at the age of 24, the promising poacher hung up his boots to pursue a career in art.
"If we had free time, we would chill out together, go and watch a movie or hang out with the older guys like Andre Wisdom . We were scholars, we got an allowance rather than wages but everything was laid on.But while Sterling would stick with Liverpool and go on to break into the first team in 2012, Moli would jump ship to Wolverhampton Wanderers with two years still left on his Merseyside contract. A move which he would later regret.
He would move on to the likes of Epinal and Stormil Olszytn before signing for Estonia's Parnu Vaprus - and while he described the latter as his favourite experience, he would tear his ACL in training only to add to injury woe. And after a career plagued with injuries, Moli would hang up his boots at the age of just 24 - when many other footballers would be enjoying their best years.
"Fred’s wife messaged me and commissioned me to do a piece for him for their anniversary. Luke Shaw’s missus ordered a piece for his birthday. She was surprised when I showed her a picture of Luke and I playing for England Under-16s together!"
