A former QPR scout says they paid him £50 for tipping them off about Raheem Sterling.
Peter Moring spotted the Liverpool forward as a nine-year-old playing in Wembley.
He told the Brent and Kilburn Times: "I was running the football at the London Underground sports ground where the Ark Academy now is, and I allowed the Brent primary and secondary schools to play there.
"One day I was down there and I saw this little kid playing for Oakington Manor school.
"The guy he was with was a bloke called Darren, who was one of the coaches from the church team Alpha & Omega.
"I said to Darren, 'this kid is good, can I get him down to QPR?'.
"What we agreed was for Raheem to keep playing for the Alpha & Omega side and I would inform John O'Brien, who was in charge of the QPR Under-16s, and arrange for him to come up and watch him.
"At 10 years of age he was down at QPR but he wasn't allowed to sign on. When he was Under-11 they signed him and I got £50 from the club for him."
