    NO PRE-SHOW ADS - EARLY RELEASE AND END OF EPISODE QUIZ 📘 GET THE GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS FOOTBALL EDITION 2027: https://bit.ly/GWRFootball2027 🎥 GET A PERSONALISED FOOTBALL FOR KIDS CAMEO: https://www.cameo.com/footballforkids How did a young attacking midfielder from Manchester become one of Manchester City’s most exciting young players and an England international? Today on Football For Kids, we tell the incredible story of Nico O’Reilly, the Manchester City academy graduate whose journey has taken him from grassroots football and the City academy to the Etihad Stadium, Wembley, the Champions League and the England team. Nico O’Reilly grew up as an attacking midfielder, but when an opportunity arrived in Manchester City’s first team, it came somewhere completely different: left-back. Instead of turning away from the challenge, Nico learned a new position, worked on his defending and grabbed his opportunity with both hands. In this episode we discover how Pep Guardiola helped Nico O’Reilly develop, how he broke into the Manchester City first team, his brilliant FA Cup moments, his rise in the Premier League, his huge performances at Wembley, his adventures in the UEFA Champions League and the incredible moment he became an England international. We’ll also hear about his Manchester City academy journey, important goals, assists, positional transformation and some of the biggest moments of his young career so far. This is a story about much more than football. It is about being adaptable. Being brave enough to try something new. Listening to your coaches. Taking your chance when it arrives. And understanding that sometimes the road to your dream looks completely different from the one you imagined. Perfect for young Manchester City fans, England fans, football-mad children and families who love learning about the biggest players and brightest young stars in world football. 🎧 Football For Kids is a screen-free football podcast made especially for children and families, packed with football stories, football history, Premier League stars, Champions League adventures, quizzes, incredible facts and inspirational stories from the beautiful game. Listen right to the end for today’s five-question Nico O’Reilly quiz! 🔵⚽🌟

After an incredible breakthrough at Arsenal, Lewis-Skelly discovered that life as a professional footballer does not always move in a straight line. There were huge highs, difficult moments, fewer opportunities, big decisions from Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and the challenge of fighting for his place in one of the best football teams in England. But Myles kept working. And when his opportunity arrived again, he was ready. We follow his journey from signing a new long-term Arsenal contract to returning to central midfield, playing alongside Declan Rice, competing in enormous Premier League and UEFA Champions League matches and experiencing some of the biggest occasions in European football. There is also the story of England, international disappointment, bouncing back and earning another opportunity to wear the Three Lions shirt. This is an episode about Myles Lewis-Skelly, Arsenal FC, England football, the Premier League, the Champions League, young footballers, Hale End Academy, Mikel Arteta, Declan Rice and one of English football's most exciting young talents. But more than anything... It's about never giving up when things don't go your way. Because you cannot always choose when your opportunity arrives. You can only make sure you're ready when it does. 🎧 A colourful, inspirational and completely screen-free football story for young football fans and their families.
