Meet The King’s Scholar aiming to make history https://www.fifa.com/news/meet-the-kings-scholar-aiming-to-make-history World Book Day is a celebration of stories: some involving dragons and heroes, some about ordinary everyday life. Tudor Mendel-Idowu’s story has been anything but ordinary, building on a prodigious talent that was first spotted on a TV show called ‘Child Genius' when he was just eight years old. Now, a Chelsea academy player who has already been capped at U15 and U17 level for England, we spoke to Tudor on World Book Day. To learn more about a gifted young man who is hoping to write his own story, on, and off the pitch. You’re a King’s Scholar at Eton College. What does that mean? King’s Scholars are the top fourteen brightest students in the UK, if not the world, admitted once per year at the age of 13. It's decided after a rigorous examination process over two weeks, covering papers in a variety of subjects: Maths, Latin and Divinity to name a few. At what age did you become aware of the fact you had a talent different to other children? When did Chelsea come into the picture? Like every kid, I played football from a very young age. It would have been around the age of 7 or 8 that I realised I had a special talent; about the same time, I saw my academic gift coming to fruition as well. There were different top academies across the UK that approached me. Chelsea were the ones who showed the most interest and essentially being the top academy, they really wanted to get me, and did in the end. Your family are guiding you through both academia and football. Is there anybody in the family whose footsteps you are following in? There’s quite a bit of talent that runs through the family, but I'll just take two specific examples. My grandfather on my mother’s side played internationally for his country, Nigeria. I actually have a photo at home of him with Pele at a game (John Adeleye-Abai is on Pele's left), which I always found inspirational. On my father's side, my grandfather Dr Fola Kayode Mendel-Idowu was a gifted academic. He specialised in bio-aeronautics, and as a pretty cool fact, he was Africa's first flying doctor. So, my parents have always said I am a sort of fusion of these two extraordinary individuals. What position did your footballing grandfather play? I’d regard myself as a number 10 or a right winger. He was a winger as well, but perhaps less in the modern sense of the word. Today it's about playing on the wing opposite to your strongest foot. So, you're driving and cutting in to score. My grandfather was more of a crossing, up-and-down-the-flanks style winger. Football and academia have not historically been considered bedfellows. How do your team-mates view what you're trying to achieve? When you're trying to combine two worlds, which are regarded by many as diametrically opposed, it’s very difficult. Not everybody wants to, or is willing to simultaneously pursue two such paths. I think it’s come to the point where my teammates respect my dual endeavours, but largely due to my footballing quality. As long as I keep performing on the pitch, as I do, I don’t think they care too much! Oxbridge by week; Premier League footballer by weekend. How much of a quandary might that be? I'm sitting my first year of specialist study, so it’s a bit early to think about that! Combining a degree with playing, the logistics would need to be organised. From my perspective though, nothing is impossible. I think I’ve already started to prove that! What was your favourite book growing up? What are you currently reading? Which sports story would you most like to read? When I was 7 or 8, I was fascinated by a book called War Horse which ties in with my interest in modern history. For young kids, it’s a book they should get their hands on. Michael Morpurgo is a great author. I read almost all his books when I was little. I'm currently reading a collection of essays by a writer called David Berlinski. It looks at the shortcomings of materialistic thought and how it affects society, past and present. It's a pretty hard read, but ties into what I'm doing at school, as we have this course called ‘Perspectives’, in which we discuss a range of topics from politics, philosophy, ethics and law. Regarding sport, I was fascinated by a young Neymar Jr. He’s the player I have tried to model my game on. Seeing how he developed from U17 and U20 level, to that period at Barcelona where he became this ultra-entertaining player with a unique style, I’d love to learn more about that. In five years, what will Tudor be doing? It's hard to pinpoint exactly where I will be. In terms of football, in five years, I'll be 22. I want to be competing at the highest level. I have the same expectations for myself in football as I have as an academic. I want to be at the top. Playing in, and winning Champions Leagues. Playing at a World Cup. Maybe even a World Player of the Year Award – we’ll see! Academically, it's a process of continually learning. I'm studying Latin, Greek and Modern History at A level at the moment. Students who study these subjects have a wide range of options. I'm looking at Classics courses which opens other pathways like Philosophy, Law, Literature and Archaeology. Foreign policy and international relations have always interested me too. I can really go in any of these directions. Tudor Mendel-Idowu. Remember the name.

21:00 - 22:45 | CET PREMIER LEAGUE | BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION VS MANCHESTER CITY – S1

this is true, but I remain unconvinced on him atm

I don't, we are a fucking hot mess and have no CL or even EL to offer we also have a shit, small stadium and likely will not have a new one until 2030 or so at the earliest the main thing we have going for us is London itself, and that we are in the EPL our winning past is exactly that atm, the past

Caicedo

Lol, wth is that video? Arabic soap?

Absolute bullshit they lowered it from 15 points deduction to ony 10. The motherfuckers can still easily get Europe, and maybe even still sneak into the CL, if they beat AC Milan, beat Udinese on the final day and AC Milan loses to Verona on the final day. The 2 other teams (Atalanta and Roma) between Juve and AC Milan have to win both of their 2 games to keep above Juve, and Atalanta has two hard games (Inter and the team right below Juve, Monza), and Roma play Fiorentina away plus Spezia.

Bayern is far worse under Tuchel than under Nagelsmann it isn't even close and Lampard is by far the worst manager we have had in ages Potter 2nd

nil 3 Dortmund over Augsburg

nil 3

nil 2 now Dortmund so all they need to do is win at home v Mainz in the last game or have Bayern draw or lose away to Köln to finally break the now ten straight year title streak of Bayern

I am a masochist lolol

the only EPL team I would root for Manure is versus Spuds and I would want that to be a draw if possible I fucking hate Spuds Manure Pool Arse far more than any other teams on the planet to a lesser level I also hate Juve Bayern Barca Real as those 4, along with Manure and Pool, were the Big 6 that forced in FFP to fuck AC Milan (Juve's Agnelli mafia kicked it all off to stop Berlusconi) , Chels, Citeh, and PSG (and Dortmund, Inter, and Atletico Madrid to a lesser degree)

Dortmund just scored nil 1 Tuchel's blowing Bayern's 10 titles in a row streak on pace atm if this stands, all Dortmund needs to do to win (assuming Bayern wins, not draws or loses, their last game) is beat a midtable Mainz at Dortmund

what a pathetic effort we are just utter shit at this point

so angry that Lampard doesn't much play (or not at all) Denis Zakaria (at least we could have seen what he can do over a 10 game straight stretch) Carney Chukwuemeka Mykhaylo Mudryk Noni Madueke David Datro Fofana and he was not playing Badiashile that much before his injury

last night Real Sociedad stopped Barca from going undefeated at home this season

it will be chalked off for handball
