    How does a footballer go from thinking he might have to leave FC Barcelona to becoming the club's captain and one of the most dangerous goalscorers in world football?

    In RAPHINHA PART 2, Football For Kids follows Brazilian football superstar Raphinha from February 2025 to October 2026 through an extraordinary journey of goals, trophies, injuries, heartbreak and unbelievable comebacks!

    We relive his dramatic 98th-minute winner against Celta Vigo, unforgettable UEFA Champions League performances against Benfica and Borussia Dortmund, and the heartbreaking semi-final against Inter Milan. Then comes EL CLÁSICO, Barcelona against Real Madrid, where Raphinha helps produce another astonishing victory!

    Discover how Barcelona manager Hansi Flick helped transform the former Leeds United winger, why his 13 Champions League goals in 2024/25 made football history, and how he went on to shine against Newcastle United, lift major trophies and become Barcelona's captain.

    But this isn't just a story about winning. From difficult injuries with Barcelona and Brazil to becoming a leader alongside Lamine Yamal, Raphinha's story teaches us about determination, resilience, self-belief, teamwork and never being afraid to learn from our mistakes.

    An inspiring, educational and exciting football podcast for children aged 6–12, young footballers and football-loving families.

  5. 🔵 ⚪️ MAN CITY'S 115 CHARGES: COULD THEY REALLY BE RELEGATED?! 🔵 ⚪️ IN DEPTH BREAKDOWN 😬 🧑‍⚖️ ⚽️

    Show notes

    The GWR Football Edition 2027: https://bit.ly/GWRFootball2027

    *Manchester City's 115 charges. What actually happened? Why are there SO MANY? And could one of the biggest football clubs in the world REALLY be relegated?!*

    You've probably heard people talking about Manchester City's 115 charges. But what do they actually mean?

    What is Financial Fair Play? Why does the Premier League have rules about money? What's the difference between sponsorship money and money from a club's owner? And why have Everton and Nottingham Forest previously lost points?

    In this special Football For Kids+ Kidsplanation, Darren makes the complicated world of football finances ridiculously easy to understand.

    You'll take charge of your very own imaginary football club, Rocket Boots FC, as we explain pocket money, sponsorship deals, spending limits, financial accounts, Premier League rules and the investigation into Manchester City.

    We'll explore the history of the 115 charges, what an independent commission found, why Manchester City are appealing, and what could happen next, including possible points deductions or relegation.

    *No confusing financial jargon. Just football explained in a way that makes sense to kids AND grown-ups.*

    *An important note:* This episode is for educational purposes. It uses publicly available information, official Premier League and Manchester City statements, published independent commission findings and reporting from established journalists. The commission published findings against Manchester City on 29 September 2026. Manchester City maintain their innocence, dispute those findings and lodged an appeal on 1 October 2026. As of 20 October 2026, the appeal remains unresolved and no punishment has been confirmed. Our Rocket Boots FC examples are entirely fictional and are used only to explain how financial rules work.

    *Topics covered:* Manchester City 115 charges explained, Manchester City financial charges, Premier League, Financial Fair Play (FFP), Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR), football finance, sponsorship deals, financial regulations, Premier League investigation, Manchester City appeal, Everton points deduction, Nottingham Forest points deduction, possible relegation and football explained for kids.

    HARRY KANE 3 is here! ⚽🏆🔥

    We’re continuing the incredible story of one of the greatest goalscorers England has ever produced, picking things up exactly where Harry Kane Parts One and Two finished: March 2024.

    And what happened next was extraordinary.

    From scoring mountains of goals for Bayern Munich to breaking Bundesliga records, reaching 500 senior career goals, rewriting England history and finally getting his hands on the trophies he had chased for so many years, Harry Kane’s story entered a completely new chapter.

    We follow Kane through the drama of the Champions League, another remarkable season in Germany, Euro 2024, his 100th England appearance, record-breaking Bayern Munich performances and the moment he finally became a Bundesliga champion.

    There are hat-tricks, Golden Shoes, huge England goals, World Cup drama, German trophies and some absolutely ridiculous goalscoring numbers along the way.

    How did Harry Kane become the fastest player ever to reach 50 Bundesliga goals? How quickly did he score 100 goals for Bayern Munich? What happened when he finally lifted his first major senior trophy? And how did he go on to become England’s record World Cup goalscorer?

    This is the story of goals, heartbreak, persistence, trophies and a footballer who simply refuses to stop improving.

    Perfect for football-mad children, young players and families, Football For Kids brings Harry Kane’s incredible football journey to life in a fun, exciting and screen-free way.

    Cristiano Ronaldo scored an astonishing 140 UEFA Champions League goals.

    It is one of the biggest records in football.

    But two superstars are chasing him.

    Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland.

    So... could either of them actually catch Cristiano Ronaldo?

    In this Football For Kids special, Darren breaks down the incredible Champions League goals race between Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland.

    We discover how many goals Ronaldo scored, how far Mbappé and Haaland still have to go, why Haaland’s scoring rate is completely ridiculous and the amazing reason Ronaldo’s career proves that starting fastest doesn’t always mean finishing furthest.

    You’ll hear about Ronaldo’s Champions League record, Haaland’s incredible goal milestones, Mbappé’s Real Madrid scoring numbers, the new Champions League format and the football maths behind one of the biggest record chases in world football.

    Could Mbappé break Ronaldo’s record?

    Could Haaland become the Champions League’s greatest goalscorer ever?

    Or will Cristiano Ronaldo’s magical 140 goals survive for another generation?

    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.

    MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY IS BACK ON FOOTBALL FOR KIDS! 🔴⚪⚽

    In Part Two of our Myles Lewis-Skelly story, we pick things up in May 2025 and follow the brilliant young Arsenal and England footballer through another extraordinary chapter of his career.

    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.

    How did Bryan Mbeumo go from playing football as a little boy in the French town of Avallon to becoming a Premier League star and a Manchester United player?

    In this episode of Football For Kids, we tell the incredible story of Bryan Mbeumo and follow his football journey from the very beginning.

    We discover how he started playing football in France, developed through the Troyes academy and made his breakthrough as a teenager before taking the huge step of moving to England to join Brentford.

    We’ll hear about Brentford’s famous “BMW” attack with Mbeumo, Ollie Watkins and Saïd Benrahma, the heartbreak of losing at Wembley, the joy of finally reaching the Premier League and how Bryan developed into one of the division’s most dangerous attacking players.

    There’s also his international story with Cameroon, including playing at the FIFA World Cup and being part of the Cameroon team that produced an unforgettable victory over Brazil.

    Then came injuries, setbacks, improvement, goals and a brilliant 20-goal Premier League season before one of the biggest moves of his career: Manchester United and Old Trafford.

    It’s a story about talent, determination and constantly trying to get better.

    From Avallon to Troyes. From Brentford to the Premier League. From Cameroon to Manchester United.

    This is the story of Bryan Mbeumo. ⚽🔥
