When they were young: Lionel Messi being the next Lionel Messi

By: Bob | July 25th, 2007

One benefit of living in the Internet era is that we are able to watch videos of young kids dominating the opposition on the pitch. The latest example is an 9-year-old named Rhain Davis who has been courted by Manchester United. Who knows if the kid will turn out to be anything more than just a kid who plays football well, but as the video above of Lionel Messi at age 5 (thanks 101 Great Goals) shows sometimes talent is evident at an early age.

If you like watching famous players when they were young, here’s some more video. There is also an outstanding collection of footballers-as-kids pictures.
