) or a blue (Everton)?

Apart from becoming a football fan and sometimes playing the game after school, Lundstram realized he had the ability to make a name for himself in the sport.

The strong and diminutive Englishman started his career as a midfielder on local pitches early on.

Lundstram, like many other potential Liverpool supporters, did all he could to join his beloved club.

However, his progress on being called up for a trial by the club was hampered by a lack of opportunity.

Moving on, he turned his attention to the club's neighbors and rivals, Everton, who asked him to try out for a trial, another one of the Top Facts about John Lundstram.

John Lundstram Early Career

Following a successful trial, John Lundstram was accepted into the Everton youth academy in 2002, giving him the opportunity to build his career.

He had to miss important birthday parties, family socials, and activities he was looking forward to at school, for example.

On the other hand, Lunny was doing just what he wanted to do: turning his passion into a career.

Heart Break from David Moyes: Following Alex Ferguson's departure from

Manchester United

in May 2013, Moyes told Everton that he will be leaving the club to replace Ferguson.

While this news delighted David Moyes, it disappointed Lundstram, who was frustrated that the Everton manager, along with the whole coaching staff, were all looking forward to greener pastures with Man United, one of the Top Facts about John Lundstram.

What Lundstram had envisioned became a reality. 

Roberto Martnez was appointed in place of David Moyes, who took four members of his own

Wigan Athletic

backroom team to Everton.

When Lundstram saw members of David Moyes' Everton backroom staff following him to Manchester United, he was devastated.

Then came Roberto Martinez's decision to add new players to his new Everton team, causing poor Lundstram to be fearful and reflect on his future on many occasions.

Despite going out to pay his loan obligations, Lundstram decided it wasn't worth spending any more of his time fighting for his spot because Roberto Martinez had purposefully left him out.

In his words:

“WHEN DAVID MOYES WAS AT EVERTON, I WAS IN HIS SQUAD AND WITH THE FIRST TEAM DOING REALLY WELL BUT AS SOON AS HE LEFT THE CLUB, IT JUST WASN’T THE SAME FOR ME.

I WASN’T INVOLVED IN THE FIRST TEAM UNDER MARTINEZ.

THAT KNOCKED MY CONFIDENCE, SET ME BACK AND AFFECTED MY DEVELOPMENT.”

Premier League

start, the decision finally paid off.
