The Guardian's Bio for Sam Morsy

Vital Squad Member
"Despite being born in Wolverhampton, Morsy grew up idolising Mohamed Aboutrika and the rest of Egypt’s stars thanks to the influence of his father and uncles. “I never really dreamed of playing international football, but I was always given videos of legends to watch,” he said. Now his dream is set to become reality after the reliable Wigan captain, who has also represented Port Vale, Chesterfield and Barnsley, established himself as an important member of the squad, despite speaking no Arabic. He thanked his club after his World Cup spot was confirmed. “I wouldn’t have got the call up without the manager, the assistant, the coach and all first-team staff, who have helped me with my game all season.”"
