In the clip of, Real Sideline Expert, Chris Robinson, a professional Scout of over 30 years, discusses the development of young football players and the impact of age bias on their selection. He explains that in England, football is organised based on the academic year, which means that children born in September, October, and November are more likely to be selected for top-level teams due to their physical and emotional maturity compared to those born later in the year.

Chris highlights that this bias is not unique to football and applies across various areas, including academics. He emphasises that clubs and scouts should be aware of this phenomenon, but it often evens out as players get older.
