Danny Murphy has hailed England and Manchester City star Raheem Sterling for being a great example and role model to youngsters with his conduct on and off the pitch.The 24-year-old has received widespread praise over the past week after his hat-trick display in the Three Lions 5-0 win over Czech Republic.

Pure class pic.twitter.com/mYPZDKxWZG— talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) March 22, 2019After the win over the Czechs, Sterling also stayed behind at Wembley to visit participants of the Football Beyond Borders charity who had just seen his three-goal performance.He even signed his match-worn shirt and donated it to their cause.Sterling has matured immensely as a player since joining Pep Guardiolas Manchester City side, but has also matured off the pitch as well. And, after years of negative headlines about his personal life, Murphy wanted to pay a special tribute to the former Liverpool star, saying not enough attention is paid to the good footballers do.He told talkSPORT host Jim White: Weve talked a lot about Raheem Sterling and how much hes evolved on the pitch hes in the top three or four in European football for goals and assists this season.But hes doing a lot off the field which I feel needs highlighting.Not just Sterling, but anybody, I dont think we do it enough. I think were always already ready to jump on people when theyve done things wrong, and Sterling has done some things wrong, but theres no coincidence that hes maturing off the field as well as maturing on it.
