In Part 1 of this special two part Football For Kids episode, Darren Rees explores Ollie Watkins’ childhood in Torquay and Newton Abbot, his musical family roots, the quiet resilience shaped by his mum’s hard work, and the moment a simple knock on the door changed his life forever. You will hear how grassroots football, patient parenting and saying no to early academy pressure helped Ollie fall in love with the game before chasing the dream.
