Step onto the pitch where legends are made and dreams run wild. Tonight’s Soccer Bedtime Story takes you to Stourbridge, Birmingham—where a young boy named Jude Bellingham first laced up his boots and began his extraordinary rise. From academy prodigy to Borussia Dortmund wonderkid, from England’s midfield heartbeat to Real Madrid superstar, Jude’s journey is a reminder that greatness begins with courage, curiosity, and relentless belief.

In this peaceful, nighttime tale, we follow Jude through:

• his early training sessions at Birmingham City,
• the historic debut that made him the youngest player ever to represent the club,
• the leap to Dortmund, where he stunned the world,
• and his magical arrival in Madrid, where he now shines among the global elite.

This isn’t just a story of goals and glory—it's a story of humility, leadership, joy, and the quiet wisdom Jude carries beyond the game.

So find your calm, settle under the covers, and let the soft stadium lights fade.
Close your eyes and drift into a world where the grass is green, and the crowds are loud, but bedtime brings the soccer calm we all need.

This is Icons: Jude Bellingham

Sleep well and dream big, soccer friends.

In this episode of Soccer Bedtime Stories, we step into the life of one of the most famous players in football history, David Beckham.

We start in a small working-class house in Chingford, London, where a skinny kid with a big dream spends hours in the back garden kicking a ball with his dad. Kids will hear how young David Beckham goes from local teams like Ridgeway Rovers to signing schoolboy forms with Manchester United, scoring that unbelievable goal from the halfway line against Wimbledon, and living through both heartbreak and redemption with England—from the red card at the 1998 World Cup to the legendary free kick against Greece that sent his country to the World Cup in 2002.

Told in a calm, cozy bedtime style, this soccer bedtime story focuses on resilience, handling mistakes, and never letting go of your dream—even when the world doubts you. At the end, there’s a short three-question quiz to help young listeners remember key moments from Beckham’s journey and build listening skills in a gentle, fun way.

This episode is perfect for:

• Kids who love David Beckham or Manchester United
• Young players who are learning about free kicks, practice, and perseverance
• Families looking for a relaxing football podcast for kids at bedtime

Press play, get snug under the covers, and let “Icons: David Beckham” carry your young soccer fan off to sleep with a story of curls, courage, and never changing your answer when someone asks, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
