What does it take to raise a football star while staying grounded in love, learning and loyalty? In this powerful and personal episode, I sit down with Marcia Lewis, proud mum and agent to Myles Lewis-Skelly—Arsenal and England’s 18-year-old sensation and one of the most talked-about young players in football today. But this conversation isn’t about hype. It’s about humanity. Marcia shares the real journey behind the headlines—from getting her first agent call when Myles was just 11, to juggling grassroots joy with elite-level pressure. As the spotlight on Myles grew, so did Marcia’s determination to understand the system—and protect her son within it. So, she studied football business. Became a licensed agent. And created No.1 Fan Club, the UK’s first parent-led platform offering support, guidance, and community to parents navigating the intense world of youth football. We talk candidly about safeguarding wellbeing, making tough decisions, managing expectations, and the emotional rollercoaster of academy life. We also reflect on the good old days, like when Myles and my son Sam played together at Aldenham School—under the brilliant Mr Cornock. Whether you’re a parent, coach, fan or just curious about the world behind the beautiful game, this is a story of fierce love, big dreams, and the power of staying grounded—no matter how high the stakes. And yes, I do ask Marcia what her proudest moment has been so far… but you’ll have to listen to find out. www.no1fan.club Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
