William Decandia, first remembers watching Argentina face Germany in the 2014 World Cup Final. His earliest football shirt was a Mario Balotelli Manchester City jersey, while his footballing hero is Neymar Jr.

William’s journey began at Dell A Salle before moving on to Elite FC, Chorley U21s, and Hyde United, before joining Oldham Athletic this year.
