Hello and welcome to Soccer PM. *Cue some music for guest to enter to* GUEST 1 Hello. It's great to be here. PRESENTER So you're only 19 years old and already playing for MK Dons. Your home town club, you worked your way through their academy, earned a first team number and you now have 3 goals to your name playing as a central midfielder, How does it feel? 8 1 MS GUEST 1 It's crazy. It has definitely come

around so quickly. I mean nowadays you need to start off so young to get noticed so it isn't the age that's the shock, its the feeling of being in school just a year ago and now I'm being watched on TV! 9 3 CU PRESENTER It must be completely surreal. Did you ever think you'd get a chance to play at this level? GUEST 1 Not at all. You work hard, train 5 times a week, put your shift in but you don't really expect it to happen to you when you are in a club like this competing against each other in some way to get noticed. All you can do is train hard and do your PRESENTER So you have been raising some eyebrows with your tekkers recently, how long did it take for you to get that confidence and ability? GUEST 1 Obviously as a young boy I always kicked a ball around with my friends, then starting joining the after school clubs. It wasn't until I was about 11 and joined a local team. From there i got scouted by Dons, and there he coaches really motivated me to get improve and gave me the freedom to be creative. PRESENTER So how does it feel to be playing for your local side.

GUEST 1 massively important, we're a young club, but theirs history there. I used to go and watch them with my dad and uncle. Presenter And when you were growing up who were your inspirations? GUEST 1 I always thought Paul Ince was an outstanding player whilst growing up. Working with him at dons was great. There's the players like Zinedine Zidane, I always liked dennis bergkamp as well, he touch and turn of pace was second to none in my eyes. PRESENTER So now that you have stepped up a level, how are you finding it different. GUEST 1 The training has got even more intense, which is understandable now I'm playing at this level, but it's hard work having to keep tabs on my fitness constantly. It's odd getting noticed in public too, I don't think that's something I'll get used to. It's nice having fans already, and its the fans who get you going. PRESENTER AT Mk dons you cant be getting recognised too much? So would there be any advice you could give to your fans or other young footballers who are hoping to follow in your footsteps? GUEST 1

I'd just say playing, try to find a competitive team so your forced to develop, with any luck you get scouted or coaches will push you to go to trials at bigger clubs and you'll have success there. PRESENTER Danny thanks. For now, you're going to stick around and take part in the Method Man Challenge later. GUEST 1 Thank you, I look forward to it. 19 2 MS PRESENTER We will see more of Danny later, but now we have the crossbar challenge. 20 3 CU PRESENTER *pass comment on vt* PRESENTER Thanks Greenwich, next week the Crossbar Challenge goes to Charlton Athletic, and we will see if they can do any better. Our next guest is Tony *cues entrance music for tony* PRESENTER Tony thanks, welcome. For anyone who doesn't know who Tony is, he is the star actor of Noel Clarkes latest movie 'Kidulthood'. How does it feel to have made it as an actor? GUEST 2

Good i guess, its still sinking in. PRESENTER And as well as being an actor you are a semi professional footballer for dulwich hamlet, GUEST 2 I was but that dream is gone now and I'm focused on acting now, I prefer it too. PRESENTER Also, you are an Aresenal fan, aren't you? GUEST 2 Yea, I'm a Gooner, from day dot, massive arsenal fan. season ticket holder 26 3 CU PRESENTER Should we talk about Wednesdays defeat against Milan? 27 1 MS Guest 2 I guess it is unavoidable. PRESENTER 4-0, it's been described as shambolic. Are you one of the fans that wants Wenger out? GUEST 2 I love Wenger, but he's had 7 years, I think it's fair to say that a change needs to be made, it's disappointing because I grew up in an era when arsenal were picking up trophies and we had

players like Henry and Bergkamp and Ian Wright who would give us lots of goals, I feel bad for the arsenal fans growing up now. PRESENTER Who is your favourite Arsenal player ever? GUEST 2 Id have to say Henry, he was class. When he came back and scored, it was like winning the FA cup, every Arsenal fan loved that moment, but it looks like that is this season high point. PRESENTER Top 4 finish for Arsenal? GUEST 2 I can't see it to be honest. Not with the way we have been playing. We don't do defensive football. Wenger needs to tighten up our defense first of all and we have a world class striker in Van Persie but we can't get him the service he needs, its frustrating to watch. PRESENTER I can imagine. So what's it like working on set with people like Noel Clarke and Danny Dyer who had a cameo in the film? GUEST 2 It's great; it can be quite tedious at times but there's an atmosphere on set where you know something special is happening, the films have a message. PRESENTER

And what is that message? GUEST 2 33 2 MS It's hard growing up in the hood. PRESENTER I guess that's true, but you did get headhunted for this film, didn't you? GUEST 2 Yea I did, I was volunteering at this youth group where I grew up, which helps children from these kinds of rough areas and gives them a safe place where they can aspire to be actors, and have opportunities to follow that career paths. It gave me the same opportunities, so I try to give back to the kids what was given to me. But basically, Noel Clark auditioned the kids, saw me there and asked me to audition for my role in the film. The rest is history. PRESENTER That's amazing. 'Kidulthood' is out in cinema across the country now. Is there any other projects you want to talk about? GUEST 2 Well I got another film which is looking to be going into production with Noel, but we're keeping things tight to our chest with this one, it's going to be big. PRESENTER Well You heard it here first. Thanks Tony. Coming up after the break we have an analysis of tonight's fixtures and of course, what
