TEMA Star Marshall Makes History as Youngest Ever FA Cup Player ( Published: 06/11/2024)

Congratulations to one of our students, Marshall, who has made FA Cup history by becoming the competition’s youngest EVER player!

The East Manchester Academy PE department are incredibly proud of Marshall, who has made history as the youngest ever player in an FA Cup match. It has been a privilege to watch him grow from a shy 11-year-old into the inspiring young leader he is today. His achievements show our students that with hard work and belief, anything is possible, and his success drives our PE teachers to work harder, creating opportunities for all and replicating this success.
Mr Hamilton, Head of PE
