The Darkside of Academy Football | Luca Albon | Beyond Football Podcast

In this fourth episode of the beyond football podcast Daniel Jinadu speaks with former Charlton Academy Footballer Luca Albon on his journey of being in the football academy from a young age. He gives us an insight into the highs and lows of his journey such as big injuries as well as getting an England International call up playing with the likes of players such as Mason Greenwood. We also get into what its like to be released by a football academy and how the COVID 19 Pandemic has made it difficult for boys who've been released to get a new club. We explore the question 'Why do boys struggle to make something of themselves once they've been released from an academy?'    REMEMBER TO LIKE & Rate!   The Beyond Football Podcast was created by me (Daniel Jinadu) to give people an insight into the journeys of young footballers.
