“You’ve got to be bold and be respected to play the game.”
Arsenal 's Reiss Nelson knows exactly what it takes to stand out in a packed south London cage pitch, it’s how his rise from Walworth’s Aylesbury estate to the Emirates Stadium began.
Therefore, at least in his eyes, it is only right he help provide the best facilities for the next Reiss Nelson, as exhibited by his latest charitable endeavour at the Michael Faraday School.
The Gunners star has donated the entirety of the funds to help his childhood primary school build a new football pitch, which officially opened on Friday, November 18. His club, Arsenal and mentoring organisation Mentivity supported the grand launch as Nelson aims to play a big part in inspiring the next generation of South London talent.
