A FORMER Premier League ace has opened up on his incredible early rise to fame as a top flight star.<\/strong><\/p>\n But despite being surrounded by expensive cars and girls, the ex-player admits \u201cit all happened too quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n Micah Richards, 35, made his senior debut for Manchester City in 2007 \u2014 when he was just 17 years old.<\/p>\n The right-back quickly established himself as an important player for the Etihad club.<\/p>\n He went on to score nine goals in 245 games for his boyhood club.<\/p>\n And Richards even lifted several trophies including a Premier League title and an FA Cup.<\/p>\n However, the 13-time England international retired from football aged just 31 in 2019.<\/p>\n He made just two league appearances in his final three seasons at Aston Villa.<\/p>\n And his last two terms at City also yielded just nine league games.<\/p>\n Speaking with pals Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer, Richards revealed how he \u201cburst onto the scene\u201d as a City kid.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n As he hit success on the pitch, he also reaped the off-pitch benefits too.<\/p>\n Richards admits he loved everything football had to offer at the time.<\/p>\n But in hindsight, the ace concedes it all came a bit too soon and may have resulted in his playing career fading out.<\/p>\n Richards said on BBC MOTD: \u201cI started that phrase though, busting on the scene.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t start it but I made it massive.\u201d<\/p>\n Shearer joked: \u201cNow he\u2019s just massive. And he\u2019s f*****g bursting out of his gear.\u201d<\/p>\n Lineker then asked: \u201cWas it difficult for you to handle suddenly becoming this instant star as a teenager?\u201d<\/p>\n Richards answered: \u201cI loved it. I absolutely loved it. There was cars, there was girls.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was like, you know, when you\u2019ve finally arrived.\u201d<\/p>\n Lineker responded: \u201cDo you wish your rise would\u2019ve been more gradual and you would have had a longer, more successful career?\u201d<\/p>\n Richards said: \u201cIt all happened too quick and I got a little bit too excited. It was too much too soon.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I got there in the end, didn\u2019t I? Working with you guys, not bad, I can\u2019t complain.\u201d<\/p>\n
