"The English Neymar" Striving To Make It Against All Odds
Спорт
This film was researched, written, produced and directed by Jamie Pollitt. Jamie is a co-founder of Rising Ballers, a media platform promoting the best up and coming youth football talent.
Tayshan hails from Latimer Road, West London. Football isn’t just a passion, it’s his way of life. Against all odds, he’s still striving to become a professional footballer. This is his story...

I know people say reading comments about yourself is the worst thing you can do but it’s really an honour to read some of the positive things you have to say🙏🏽 This video is not meant to be anything like a sob story, or a video of excuses.. the idea was that my story & experiences would be a platform to inspire. I feel that footballers could be doing a lot more to influence the world positively as the platform we have is massive & football is a universal language. Of course I’m not Neymar, but I aspire to be playing at a high level - even at my age I have that fire & drive within me to achieve, & I definitely believe in myself & my ability. It was a pleasure working with Copa90 & Rising Ballers on this project & I hope there’s a lot more to this story in the future within football🤞🏽⚽️♥️

I hope this boy makes it. Its a shame how hard it is for young British players to break through in English football because of the money. So much harder for young players to break through over high priced foreign imports now in the prem and championship, then when one does breakthrough the media do their best to ruin them by heaping immense expectation and attention on them. Good luck pal!

one of the best videos I've seen all year this.. keep your head up bro. Everything happens for a reason. light at the end of the tunnel .. no sweat.
Good luck bro, praying for your success. Good work at copa90 too!
the neymar comparisons might help get the video views but all you're actually doing is putting more pressure on the guy

Looks like he's overcome worse than a bit of a compliment. The guy can probably handle pressure.
Being a footballer is all about being there at the right time ... Just keep playing and maybe you will get that break you are looking for .... If you don't try ... you will never die ... Good luck man
Powerful documentary
Great video. I wish you all the best & hope you realise your dream. I know your endz as well. Go for it my brudda!

@Yung Jameis neymar is nothing, when he comes to the best and most challenging league in football (premiership) we will see how good he really is. He couldn't handle the tackles in the prem he wouldn't score more then 20 in a season, this is why I think Ronaldo is better then Messi, Ronaldo proved him self at Manchester, while Messi played in the easiest league in football , Ronaldo went there and showed everyone how easy it is in that league
What a story! Keep balling
Glad to hear you're still balling. I remember meeting this lad at a Chelsea camp in London in 2011. We'd eat lunch together and talk about our hour long train rides to Cobham and how he wanted to be a pro footballer so bad. He's the best footballer I've ever played with to this day. Keep fighting for that dream bro.
I wish you all the success in the world, brother... both on and off the pitch.
Good for you Tayshan bro. I’ll be keeping look out and hopefully you get your pro contract. Love bro ❤️🔝

Hope he makes it, clearly loves what he does!
Yo, shoutout from Toronto! I rarely leave comments, next to never. I stumbled on the rising ballers team page and watched the match videos, this guys a absolute baller! I even googled him a few days ago after watching the videos and coincidently this video drops! Dude you're a baller, shifting up mans in the middle of the park. Keep your head up! Good luck at QPR, hope it pans out. Keep the dream alive! Big up from another stepover enthusiast haha

Blessings and all the best on the footballing and family sides. Top guy regardless if he makes it or not, he is not cut from the same cloth as many his age.
What a legend hope all the best to him 🙏🏻
Best wishes bro !! On the real !!
Amazed
If he was as good as Neymar he would be signed up, the fact that all these premier league clubs are letting him go means he is not good enough. He should sign for a lower team and play a few years in the lower divisions and improve.
good luck!! from Canada 🍁
YES LAD! as a qpr fan i hope my man makes it. massive respect. coyrs
You will make it just believe in your self
Big up rising ballers
OMG I served this guy when I worked at Homebase!! His girl is 10/10. Hope he makes it!
Really hope he makes it
Ahhh man! I’m a Newcastle fan and we had the opportunity to sign one the best talents around even though he’s In the shadows abit he’s still a top top talent but of course something got in the way.
Good luck I hope this young man makes it to support his family
Big up this don. I’m with him✊🏽
Good luck Can’t wait to see u in the England club in about 5 years time
I cant imagine how hard it must be for him to overcome his situation. Can you imagine the frustration of having so much talent only to have life repeatedly throw obstacles in your face? I cant. I hope QPR works out for him.
really hope he makes it. good luck bro
Great skills
you got this mate
Good luck man
Good luck ma brother. May the creator bless you with the opportunity.
A mental story good luck
Big Up West Way
Hope this man makes it.
Keep chasing the dream man
He's from ends hell yeah man!!!
All the great young players in England have to go through something like this.
Never give up buddy.. You will become a professional footballer.
Fair play the boys had many obstacles all the best taysham
Good luck bro ❤️🙏🏾
Best of luck man
Had the chance of playing with Tayshan for another KZread team - absolute baller.
God will guide you brother keep going.
Goodluck my man.
Keep trying and never give up!!!😉
Good luck bro!!

What a guy
This path is hard but he has the heart to make it and he will anywhere he gets chance
Good luck my bro
This guy will make it 100 percent when the love of the game is too much there is eventually success at the end
Good luck to him he is a ballerr
asw hope him make big no lie keep the faith bro
You got my support bro 👊🏽 I also strive for the same dream & I have hope that one day I’ll accomplish it
Still finking about it too keep the hard work a lot of young ballers don't get the chance but yh keep ur head high g
Hope you make it mate. 🙏
I really want to see this guy succeed.
Loved the story telling of the video. And Tayshans story is not an easy one apparently. Comparing him to Neymar is a stretch. The guy is 22 years old. The Austrian side they mentioned was FC Kitzbühel. A side in the third tier of Austrian football which is an amateur league. All the best of luck to the lad. He should focus on becoming a pro in the first place before comparing him to anyone let alone Neymar.
The boy has skills,I sincerely hope that he gets a good contract.
Even if he makes it Conference - League 2 regular that’s still an achievement. Best of luck bro!
Dope
Don’t give up chase you’re dreams
Best of luck
Good luck bro
