Saido Berahino wants to repay West Bromwich Alban and England for what they've done for his family.
Berahino, who came to England from Burundi as a 10-year-old having lost his father in the country's civil war, revealed his debt of gratitude to his club and England, who gave him a second under-21 call-up hours before yesterday's match.
"It (the war) is not something I like to talk about but it wasn't a great experience and I just thank God for giving me another opportunity to come to England and have a different life," he told the Express & Star.
"It's been an incredible journey. I had only been playing in England for about a year when I was picked up by West Brom and it's been unbelievable.
"West Brom's played a big role in my life. They have looked after me from a young age and I feel like I owe them something.
"Everyone's been great at West Brom and I want to thank them all. It's great I got noticed and can play for England too. England is a big part of my life as it gave me a second chance.
"Even though I'm not British-born I feel English as I have lived here for 10 years. It's a fantastic place to be."
