Rafael's Young Graduation

Young before a player's name is used only for young players that showcase talent, ability and maturity beyond their young ages. Only one player can carry the title and will graduate upon arrival of a new prospect or disqualified if they fail to live up to the title for not less than six months. Being that we traditionally support players from when they are young, a 'Young' title can be given, on rare cases, at an early stage of a player's career.
 
Rules to Young are subject to change.
 
After that being said, join me in Congratulating Rafael on his graduation and for a job well done. The First ever Young Graduate, you did the title proud Rafael and good luck facing the world as a grown up.
 
Here is to remembering Rafael's journey as Young Rafael.
 


It all started with a very simple signature.



Wasn't always easy but with the Great VDS to pick you up when you fall, it wasn't so bad.



Big bro VDS to the rescue.

Some moments we wish we could forget. But hey, nobody is perfect!



Shit happens.



Giving them hell!



 

 

 


Screaming some senses into Tevez. The proudest moment of them all.




Just perfect.

Have fun being a grown up Rafael. It was fun and an honor to watch you grow up.
