Throughout the season, we catch up with our young Gunners in the matchday programme to find out more about their route to our academy. This week, Henry Jeffcott explains the dangers of the toe-punt technique, starting at Chelsea before signing for Arsenal, and a loan spell at Derby County.
I grew up in Weybridge and my earliest memory of football was when I would toe-punt the ball over and over again in the garden when I was younger. My mum tells me that I did it so much that my toes would bleed out and I even had to take a month out because my toes were in so much pain.
