I played with Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho at Fulham but now I'm at Bootle

He often played two or three years above his age, impressing coaches with his astute dribbling and footballing intelligence. Tranmere Rovers soon took notice, acquiring his signature at just five years old.

"I remember, on my trial bigging me up. I’d never seen that before, in London it was a different way of life from Liverpool to London. I got to see both. "I moved into digs; they had an older son who was a similar age to my brother. I ended up moving to a different family; they also had a son who played for Notts County as a goalkeeper. They looked after me, making sure I ate well.

"When I was a scholar, that’s when I started getting paid," said Hilton. "You are all on the same baseline pay. So first-year scholars are on X amount, then the second year are on Y. After that are the professionals. "Social media has a massive effect on players. I remember I used to type my name in on Twitter just to see what people were saying about me," he said. "Some people take it like, ‘I can relax now’, if they appear on different pages. Some people want more and more.

"Some people think they miss out, others will be like, ‘get in, I’m playing for the Under-21s’. I’m gutted I didn’t get to grow up alongside my brother. I missed certain things in his life; we didn’t get to spend Monday to Sunday with him. You look back and think, ‘I’m gutted about this’. "It was competitive, different from Under-21s; winning means everything. Some had jobs, and others lived off what they had."

"He used to say, ‘solutions’," said Hilton of Silva. "A solution would be going down the channel or going inside. We did and didn’t mirror the first team. We had two ways of playing, it was good and bad.During his time at Craven Cottage, Hilton rubbed shoulders with Liverpool stars Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho, who both made the move from Fulham to the Reds.
