In this Football For Kids episode, we continue the incredible journey of Arsenal and England star Bukayo Saka. From becoming one of Arsenal’s most important players, to leading the team, shining in the Champions League, standing tall for England at Euro 2024, battling back from injury and helping Arsenal become Premier League champions, this is a story packed with football, courage, kindness and never giving up. We look at Saka’s biggest Arsenal moments, his England bravery, his amazing comeback from injury, his goals, assists, Champions League nights, Premier League title race drama and the attitude that has made him one of the most loved footballers in the world. This is not just a football podcast episode about Bukayo Saka. It is a screen-free football story for kids about hard work, resilience, family, faith, humility and believing in yourself even when things get tough. Perfect for young footballers, Arsenal fans, England fans, football-mad kids, parents looking for inspiring football podcasts for children, and families who love stories from the beautiful game. Because Bukayo Saka’s story teaches us something powerful: you do not have to be the loudest to lead, you do not have to be perfect to be great, and you do not have to win every battle to become a champion. Sometimes greatness begins with one simple thing. You keep going. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this Football For Kids Classic episode, Darren Rees looks back on one of the wildest Premier League seasons ever, full of champions, shocks, relegation drama, record breakers and emotional goodbyes. Arsenal are Premier League champions again after 22 long years! We look at how Mikel Arteta’s side finally brought the title back to North London, with David Raya winning the Golden Glove, Viktor Gyökeres scoring important goals, and Arsenal turning corners into their secret football superpower. But while Arsenal celebrated, other clubs suffered heartbreak. West Ham United were relegated despite beating Leeds United on the final day, Burnley dropped straight back down, and Wolves finished bottom after a miserable season. Tottenham Hotspur, meanwhile, survived by the skin of their teeth after a nerve-shredding final-day win over Everton. We also explore the players who made Premier League history: Erling Haaland winning another Golden Boot, Bruno Fernandes breaking the single-season assist record, and Fulham vs Manchester City producing a bonkers nine-goal thriller at Craven Cottage. And then come the goodbyes. Pep Guardiola leaves Manchester City after 10 incredible years. Bernardo Silva says farewell. Mohamed Salah waves goodbye to Liverpool after becoming one of Anfield’s greatest ever heroes. This is a fun screen-free football podcast episode for kids, parents and Premier League fans of all ages. Joy, heartbreak, goals, drama, trophies, trapdoors and goosebumps. Because football never really ends. It just catches its breath… and starts again. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

No PlayStations. No fancy kits. Just a group of workers, a ball, and a dream. 💭 From being called Singers F.C.… to losing games 9–0… to becoming a team for an entire city… this is a story of grit, growth, and never giving up. You’ll hear how they built their first home at Highfield Road, suffered brutal defeats (we’re talking 11–2 😬), and somehow kept moving forward. Through wars, struggles, and seasons where goals simply refused to go in… Coventry kept fighting. Then comes the magic. ✨ A goal-scoring team nicknamed The Old Five. A striker banging in 49 goals in one season. Promotions. Near misses. And a style of football that refused to play it safe. And just when you think you’ve seen it all… 💥 The 1987 FA Cup Final. Underdogs. Chaos. Extra time. And one of the most iconic diving headers in football history. From factory workers… to FA Cup winners. From losing streaks… to top-flight survivors. From homelessness and heartbreak… to rising again. This is the story of the Sky Blues… and trust me… They ALWAYS find a way back. 💙⚽ Learn more about your ad choices.
