Player tells incredible story of what Jude Bellingham did after being mocked in his only U16 match for Birmingham

A former Leicester City youth player has recalled an incredible story of playing against Jude Bellingham in his only under-16 match for Birmingham City.

Bellingham began his career at Birmingham, where he graduated from the youth academy.

He quickly moved up the ranks before breaking into the first-team as a teenager.

Bellingham played just one game for Birmingham's under-16 side but left a lasting impression.

That's according to ex-Leicester youth player Conna Chalal, who has reminisced about facing the now-Real Madrid superstar in an under-16s Midlands academy cup semi-final tie.

Speaking on his TikTok channel, he began: "I played against a 14-year-old [Jude] Bellingham, and it made me rethink my entire life to be completely honest..."

Chalal described his Leicester team as 'sh*thouses' and prided themselves on being a team 'hard to beat'.

The Foxes faced Birmingham for a spot in the final, which was taking place at Wolves' Molinuex Stadium.

Chalal reveals that ahead of the game, their manager told them they had an under-14 player on the bench.

As for the game, Leicester went two-nil up, with Chalal getting on the score-sheet.

After taking a two-goal advantage, Leicester started 'talking' and ramped up the trash talk when Bellingham entered the fray.

Speaking to Birmingham's midfielder, who Chalal knew outside of football, he exclaimed: "What's this 14-year-old lad going to do for you here!"

He added: "I'll never forget, this guy turned around, stared into my eyes and said: 'He's the best player on this pitch'."

As soon as Bellingham touched the ball, Leicester's centre-back clattered into him and screamed at Birmingham's manager: "Why have you put this child on the pitch."

In his 30-minute cameo, Bellingham scored FOUR of his side's six goals as he inspired a stunning comeback.

It was the only game Bellingham played at under-16 level before being promoted to the under-18s.

He then moved into the England set-up and went onto become the player that we know today.
