From battling Arsenal's Bukayo Saka as a youth player to leaving Chelsea at just 14 - Michael Olise has already gone through a whirlwind rise up the ranks as the Crystal Palace star prepares to help try and guide his side into the FA Cup semi-finals

Michael Olise's parents had taken a wrong turn. By the time they arrived at their son’s game, with Michael in the back of the car, it was half-time and Hayes Youth were 2-0 down. When it was finished, Hayes had won and Michael had scored a hat-trick.

Olise’s coach at Hayes Under 7s, Michael Richards, has a few of these stories. Like the one when he was stood next to a Tottenham scout the day Olise cushioned an opposition goalkeeper’s kick to the halfway line with his right thigh, volleyed it with his left foot, and sent it soaring back over the keeper’s head into the net.
