St Patrick’s Athletic midfielder Romal Palmer played with Phil Foden in the Manchester City academy, long before his move to the League of Ireland.
Romal Palmer had a unique view of Sergio Aguero ’s unforgettable 2011/12 Premier League title-winning goal against QPR - he was a ball boy on the day that Manchester City won their first top-flight crown in 44 years.

That’s not widely known. “For the QPR game, I’m there where Joe Hart is, at the opposite end . Previous to that there was a throw-in down there before the goal.
Palmer and Foden, who was playing a year ahead of his age, often linked up together during academy matches. “You can go ask him and see what he says. He had a style where there was a wavelength from playing one-twos.City are hoping to extend their 100 percent start to the season when they take on likely title rivals Arsenal on Sunday.“I’ve been to a couple since.
