Chelsea: Father of Reece and Lauren James on his children's rise to football stardom

For Nigel James, football is a family affair. But when he is not watching son Reece or daughter Lauren play for Chelsea, he is managing his own coaching business and helping young people thrive.

He looks after players from ages five to 18, and he set it up after his own football career stalled, following spells with Woking and Aldershot.

Growing up, full-back Reece, now 21, and striker Lauren, 19, as well as their elder brother Joshua, were enrolled in academies. They both played in older age groups, Reece joining the Under-9s at Fulham when he was seven before going on to Chelsea and Lauren playing for Arsenal Under-17s aged 13.
