Hi, I’m Maxwell,
I’m a 10-year-old football fanatic who has been playing the sport for around 3 years now. My passion for football began when I was introduced to the game by my mum, and I’ve been hooked ever since. My favourite team is Manchester United, and I idolizes players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford. I currently play for Chaddy Park Lions and my best position is left wing, where I loves to show off my skills and agility on the pitch. My favourite thing to do on the field is to score top bins - that feeling of the ball hitting the top corner of the net is unbeatable! Despite my young age, I’m determined to become the best footballer I can be, and hope to one day play for Manchester United myself.
