He was born on a refugee camp in Africa to parents fleeing war. Alphonso Davies’ family had no money, no help and no hope. Now, he’s the crown jewel of the Canadian national soccer program, as well as signing with Bayern Munich. Rick Westhead has more in this TSN Original: Phonzie.

He now has a Champions League trophy to his name. Great young player! Hope he has a great career and elevates Canada's national team to new heights!
Everyone who is on their way to becoming a footballer and idolizes Alphonso Davies a.k.a Phonzie. Hit the thumbs up
Treble winner Phonzie. Godspeed good sir, from a USMNT fan.
Hello
Truly deserves it <3
Also a liberian west african and refugee baby who became a nurse and younger brother who just got his PhD. 🇱🇷 🇺🇸 liberian- American technically! Peace and love to all!
Phonzie: my parents dont like to talk about life back home (because its prob very traumatizing)
TSN: okay parents please talk about how people were being slaughtered while we shove cameras in your face, it'll make the story more dramatic
Players from Africa are talented
I love the way he calls it football not soccer
I feel like a refugee here in my country Nigeria, I really need to leave to be able to achieve my dream
as a massive Bayern fan and a Canadian. I am so proud of this kid. what a legend already.
The fact this kid, went from ST/LW in the watered-down MLS, to playing LM/LB in one of the top 4 leagues in the world and being one of the best fullbacks currently, is astronomically mind-boggling.
Best Canadian footballer ever!
I remember when he absolutely cooked my chelsea team in the UCL last 16. This kid is gonna be the biggest Canadian superstar since drake
phonzo🥺
Fast forward to 2021 and he's a regular in the Bayern Munich team with a CL title to his name at the age of 19. Got a big future ahead of him
FC Bayern have to give everything so that it never leaves 👏😑 I love him and his family ♥️
One year later, he rips apart Chelsea and Barcelona in the UCL, while winning a Sextuple. The year after that, he is leading Canada to their first World Cup since 1986. He’s only 20 and has already cemented himself as the greatest Canadian footballer of all time.
Alphonso Davies made a butterfly effect which ultimately lead to Messi leaving Barcelona.
When his mom picks him up as an adult at the White Caps game, at the end of the documentary – that's the strength of a mom who would do anything for her children. What a legend. What a story. Canada is so lucky to have Alphonso and his family.
GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME, HE NEVER FAIL'S ME YET. MORE BLESSINGS TO THE FAMILY OF ALPHANSO, COVER HIM OH GOD UNDER THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
I sense Wisdom in Phonzie👍
If he remains humble the way he is now and don’t carried away with early success and work hard definitely he would be world famous very soon.
Alphonso davies new hope on youtube
Tears in my eyes. What a story. Canada's pride & joy on the pitch.
All of Canada loves & is behind Fonzi
No offence, but Aplphonso Davies is a god given, natural, a one in a million and a generational talent.
I had to use all my willpower to not cry at the end. He has become one of my new favourite players for more reasons then one. Love from Australia 🇦🇺
Huge fan here. I'd even fly to Munich to catch a game. But that's do dam difficult these days. May have to go to Qatar to catch him live next!
Still the best lb
WOW! What a documentary and filled me with PRIDE and EXCIETMENT for Team Canada! GO DAVIES!
Wow what story
I have seen him 2 times live and he puts on such a show
I have the same goal as him and I hope to achieve it the same way he has❤️
The date is 11/9/2022. Over 3 years after this video. Davies is now the best left back in the world. Winning a champions league. Helping and set to lead Canada to there 2nd World Cup ever. With all these accomplishments he is still only 22 years old. The sky is the limit for what this kid can do
he brought us to the world cup!!!
Greatest Canadian soccer player!
