The Fareplay Stepford football park is undergoing a enormous transformation and has seen a complete turnaround, giving young players life-changing opportunities.
An east end football academy has been helping make dreams come true and giving young players life changing opportunities.
Taylor Murray is one of the star players emerging from the academy, which was only set up as recently as 2020. His talent saw him being put through his paces at a showcase in Madrid at the Spanish national team's training ground in July - where he was judged best performing player. Taylor joined the Easterhouse Academy in 2021 aged 17. He ended up getting the opportunity to play abroad thanks to the support of agent John Viola who is from Easterhouse and wants to encourage local talent.
He said: "Everybody finds their level - kids can just play for fun. Everyone develops at different stages in their lives." North East councillor Maureen Burke, Labour, said: "We are delighted to have the academy here for the community. To have this on your doorstep is fantastic. A lot of my constituents come here. It is a well run academy for the area."
