Playing years above your age group, the intensity of cage football, and growing up in a hotbed of talent. As part of Black History Month, Japhet Tanganga, Wilfried Zaha and Michail Antonio give a fascinating insight into life as a young black footballer in London. Antonio's route to the Premier League was equally fascinating, and the West Ham forward explains how several setbacks at non-League level failed to derail him. The 30-year-old, who grew up in Wandsworth, started out at Tooting and Mitcham before moving through six other clubs to reach the Premier League with West Ham. James discusses the pressures of being a young footballer, and why Zaha and Antonio are role models.
