Playing football as a young boy on the streets of Tepeji del Rio de Ocampo, Mexico, helped shape Raul Jimenez's development as a player and person
Fulham forward Jimenez is one of 64 different nationalities currently represented in the Premier League, which is celebrating its diversity through the theme of "Greatness comes from everywhere" as part of the No Room For Racism initiative
"I lived for a spell in the place I was born, in Tepeji del Rio," says former Wolverhampton Wanderers star Jimenez of his childhood
just the street outside my house where all my neighbours would get together
While Jimenez was busy honing his football skills
he says that it was the love and support of his family that provided the basis from which he was able to go on build a successful playing career
"It [ greatness] comes from the upbringing my parents gave me," says Jimenez
Jimenez's strong family ties also helped see him through his darkest days after fracturing his skull in an accidental clash of heads with Arsenal's David Luiz in November 2020
a life-threatening injury that required emergency surgery
"You could definitely say it was the hardest thing I had to face," adds Jimenez
who made a full recovery and returned to Premier League action nine months later
"There were other things not as serious as this
I think this episode in my career was my hardest and biggest challenge
I was able to move on with the support of my family
They were always by my side - their support was relentless."
