Aston Villa midfielder Fabian Delph says he owes his career to his Mum.

Delph claims he owes it all to his mum Donna, who used to take him to training at his first club, Bradford, on the bus.

He said: "She's been really important in my life. She's my hero. We didn't have a car so she took me to training on the bus.

"From the age of seven, I was always getting the bus with her until I was old enough to go on my own. She's just a great mum, a great role model in my life."
