“It’s where he belongs,” Grant Cornock says, smiling. “I messaged him after the game and said exactly that: ‘That’s your level, this is what you’re capable of’.”
Cornock is talking about Myles Lewis-Skelly leaving Arsenal’s pitch to a standing ovation in a Champions League semi-final three weeks ago. Or, to put it another way, the holder of the Year 7 shot put record at Aldenham School, in Hertfordshire, turning it on against Atletico Madrid in central midfield before winning the Premier League title.
“Myles threw the shot 11 metres 75cm (aged 11),” adds Cornock, who is the director of sport at Aldenham and a former professional with Watford. “At sports day last year, the kids were pleased with themselves throwing 8-9 metres. So there was some serious strength there.”
