Winger Antoine Semenyo's football journey began in the English lower leagues. BBC Sport charts his rise from Bath City to the World Cup, with Ghana poised to face England.

When Antoine Semenyo signed for Bournemouth, he sent former Leeds United manager David Hockaday a bottle of Champagne. An unlikely duo? Perhaps. But if anyone can take credit for Semenyo's rise, it is Hockaday. Words that resonated with Semenyo so much as a teenager that, at the biggest moment of his career to that point, he felt the need to reiterate them to the man who instilled them in him. Semenyo's journey to the top has been a complicated one. The failed academy trials, the 5am starts to play non-league football, the thoughts of quitting the sport altogether. But, now aged 26, it has all led to this. A game against England in a World Cup. A humble, determined man, his remarkable rise is rooted in his resilience and the belief of a select few people who saw something in a down-and-out kid searching for his big break. Watch on BBC One, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app from 20:00 BST and listen to commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds. Live text commentary, analysis and video highlights on the BBC Sport website and app. Born in London to Ghanaian parents Larry and Dela, Semenyo and his brother Jai grew up in Greenwich with a ball almost permanently attached to their feet.
