Arsenal U16 Coach Dan Buck joins the show to talk about his 27 years of coaching in youth football, 16 of those at Arsenal. Buck spent time at Arsenal under Arsene Wenger's staff in the early 2000s and has been at Arsenal since 2016 more recently.

Buck talks about seeing Jack Wilshere play at Luton Town when he was a coach at Barnet and being part of the team that brought Super Jack to Hale End. Dan shares insights on Harry Kane's development at Arsenal, including trying him out as a goalkeeper and the many things Kane's success has taught him as a coach.

Buck also shares more recent stories of Omari Hutchinson, Charlie Patino, Ethan Nwaneri, Reuell Walters and Max Dowman.
