The mother of Myles Lewis-Skelly is calling on the FA and Premier League to back her fast-growing platform which is helping parents navigate the complicated world of academy and grassroots football. Myles, 18, joined the Arsenal academy aged nine, rising through the ranks to a starting spot against Everton in the Premier League last Sunday.

But for his mother Marcia, her son’s progress is not the only focus. On the back of her own experiences, she launched the organisation No1Fan.club over the summer. It provides tools for parents such as workshops, forums and information packages which are utilised both virtually and in-person — and used across the footballing pyramid, including the Premier League.

‘It’s a resource for parents who are navigating the football industry from grassroots through to the professional game that gives space and community for parents to find out more, learn from the stories and wisdom of others, have a space to explore, ask questions and understand the intricacies of the industry,’ she tells Mail Sport.

‘There’s not enough information and support that's independent from the industry, the academies or your grassroots coach — there's nowhere for parents to actually go. ‘As a parent, you sometimes feel like you didn't see it coming, or you failed, or you didn't you know what to do in certain situations. We're just trying to give support to parents.’.
