Episode notes

Only 1% of the boys and girls in England’s football academy system will have a professional full-time career at a Premier League club.

Their journey can start as early as three years old. This means that their families have to make sacrifices for their entire time in the system; often picking up the pieces when the dream does work out.

Narrated by Troy Townsend (Kick It Our) with revealing conversations with Premier League players such as Ben White, Andy Robertson, Ben White and his son, Andros Townsend.
