He was born in Bury and grew up in Ramsbottom, Greater Manchester.

Who does he play for?

BEFORE being released by City, Trippier had loan spells with Barnsley and then Burnley.

He impressed so much for the Clarets that the move was made permanent in 2012.

After 145 appearances in Lancashire, Spurs swooped in June 2015.

They paid a reported £3.5million for the defender’s services.
