In this episode, we sit down with Marcia Lewis — proud mum of England and Arsenal rising star Myles Lewis-Skelly — to hear how she’s redefining what it means to be a football parent. From completing a Master’s in Football Business to passing the FIFA agent exam, Marcia has done it all in support of her son’s journey. But her mission goes far beyond Myles.
She’s also the founder of No1 Fan Club, a platform built to educate, empower and connect football parents across the game. Through real-life experiences, workshops, community events and advocacy, Marcia is on a mission to make sure parents feel seen, supported and equipped — whether their child is playing grassroots or elite academy football.
This is an inspiring, emotional and powerful conversation about parenting, football, and creating space for others to thrive.
