Sheffield United defender Auston Trusty's impressive debut for the club has been a high point this season.

After promotion last term they are now in the relegation zone with ONE point after eight matches.

“It's hard to think about that after a loss but in the grand scheme of things, besides the loss, I'm truly just honored," stated Trusty after the 3-1 loss to Fulham.

“Before the game I was almost getting emotional, thinking about this opportunity. It's a long way from growing up in Pennsylvania, dribbling around my house and having to bribe my brother to play soccer with me. I had to play lacrosse with him in return.

“It's been a long journey and a long road and get to my opportunity to start in the Premier League and words can't really describe it.

“I'm truly, truly blessed. Every footballer has people who believe in them and also people who don't and on my side I had a lot of people who didn't believe in me, other than the people who do. To share it with them, it means the most and I was texting them before the game to say thank you and say: 'Who would have thought?' Except for us'."
