Alphonso Davies has come a long way in a short time. Born at a refugee camp to parents fleeing civil war in Liberia, he walked onto the pitch in Vancouver 15 years later as the second youngest MLS player ever. This 16-year-old phenom lives with a host family and still rides the subway to school, while starring for the Vancouver Whitecaps and the Canadian National Team.
