    Will you follow the show? In this episode, we dive into the journey of Myles Lewis-Skelly, a young footballer making waves at Arsenal. Born in Denmark Hill, London, Myles didn’t grow up in a football-obsessed household—but from the moment he got his first soft football at age two, he never looked back. We explore how his early years playing futsal at Jam at Hillyfields shaped his game, his rise through Arsenal’s youth academy, and the dedication it took—not just from him, but from his family as well. From scoring a last-minute winner in the FA Youth Cup semi-final to earning praise from Jack Wilshere, Myles' story is one of talent, hard work, and determination. And then, of course, there’s the moment Arsenal fans won’t forget—his first Premier League goal against Manchester City and that cheeky celebration aimed at Erling Haaland. Was there something more behind it? At just 18, Myles Lewis-Skelly is only getting started, and we have a feeling this won’t be the last time we talk about him. Learn more about your ad choices.
