    Listen to this audio story AD free on Apple podcast subscription and on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Footballforkids Chapter 1: Cheesecake – The Kick-Off to a Wild Mystery Charlie’s summer holidays are off to a strange start. He’s only 8¾, mad about football, and, as it turns out, quite a fan of cheesecake too – especially the football-shaped kind. But when a crash of thunder wakes him from a delicious dream, he stumbles into a real-life mystery that’s bigger than a double-decker bus. Just across the road, the Famous Cup – a battered, brass trophy that’s been kicked, dropped, and chucked around by football legends for over a century – has gone missing. And when the building’s wacky caretaker, Mrs Amber, refuses to call the police, Charlie finds himself right in the middle of the investigation. Armed with nothing but an instant camera and his sharp eye, Charlie has to figure out who swiped the trophy. Could it be the long-haired man in the soggy coat mumbling about soup? The fancy lady with the fur coat and a Rottweiler named Patricia? Or the peg-legged cowboy singing a strange tune? With time ticking down to the cup final, Charlie and Mrs Amber hatch a bonkers plan to catch the crooks – involving talent shows, secret clues, and possibly the weirdest competition England has ever seen. Can Charlie crack the case, outsmart the suspects, and save the cup? Or will this young detective end up in more trouble than a goalie without gloves? Grab your boots, lace them up tight, and get ready for a mystery that kicks off in the most unexpected way. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • 🇳🇬 VICTOR OSIMHEN: FROM THE SLUMS OF LAGOS TO FOOTBALL SUPERSTAR 🇳🇬

    🇳🇬 VICTOR OSIMHEN: FROM THE SLUMS OF LAGOS TO FOOTBALL SUPERSTAR 🇳🇬
    May 14 2025
    AD FREE LISTENING: https://www.patreon.com/c/Footballforkids Victor Osimhen’s story is one of grit, heartbreak, and unbreakable dreams. Born in the bustling city of Lagos, Nigeria, Victor’s early life was a relentless battle for survival. From the crowded, improvised slums where his family scraped by, to the scorching streets where he shifted water and cleaned gutters just to put food on the table, every step was a struggle. But even in the harshest conditions, football became his light. Inspired by African icons like Didier Drogba and Odion Ighalo, Victor found hope on dusty, makeshift pitches, playing barefoot with anything that even slightly resembled a football. His journey took him through the trash-strewn dumps of Lagos, where he discovered his first pair of worn-out football boots – a treasure that lit the fire of a dream that would one day make him a global superstar. Victor’s rise wasn’t just about talent – it was about an unstoppable will to overcome the odds. From a local academy in Lagos to becoming a record-breaking striker in Europe, Osimhen’s story is one of pure, unfiltered passion. He turned every setback into fuel, every challenge into a stepping stone, and every moment of pain into power. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
