7th Oct 2024 | category: Sports | Hits: 551

Trent John Alexander-Arnold was born on 7th October 1998 in the West Derby suburb of Liverpool, Merseyside. He attended St Matthew's Catholic Primary School and later St Mary's College in Crosby.

At the age of six, he caught the attention of Liverpool FC's academy coach Ian Barrigan during a half-term camp. This marked the beginning of his journey with Liverpool's academy, where he trained regularly and eventually captained the club at various youth levels.

By the time he was 14, Trent left St Mary's to attend Rainhill High School, which shares an affiliation with Liverpool FC, further embedding him in the club's system.

Trent comes from a family with notable football connections. His uncle, John Alexander, is a former Reading and Millwall player and a former Manchester United club secretary. His grandmother, Doreen Carling, once had a relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson before moving to New York and marrying there.

This connection interestingly made Trent eligible to play for the United States, although he ultimately chose to represent England. Trent has two brothers: Tyler, who acts as his agent, and Marcel, who is three years younger.

Apart from football, Trent is passionate about chess, a game introduced to him by his father. In 2018, he played an invitational match against world chess champion Magnus Carlsen. Though he lost after 17 moves, Trent credits chess for improving his ability to think strategically in football, often "two or three moves ahead of the opposition."

In 2023, Trent diversified his interests by joining the investment group for the Alpine Formula One racing team, expanding his footprint beyond football.

One of his most well-known hobbies, Trent has been passionate about chess from a young age, introduced to the game by his father. In 2018, he played a match against world chess champion Magnus Carlsen, which ended in defeat after 17 moves. Trent has credited chess with helping him develop a strategic mindset in football, as it teaches him to think multiple moves ahead.

Trent is actively involved in charitable work. In 2020, he launched his initiative "The Trent Alexander-Arnold Academy", aimed at supporting young people in underprivileged areas and helping them reach their potential. He is also an ambassador for Right to Play, a global organization that uses sports and play to educate children in disadvantaged communities.

Trent has shown an interest in the fashion world and has been featured in various campaigns, including for brands like Under Armour. His style and presence in photo shoots and campaigns reveal his inclination towards fashion beyond football.
