According to Toney, He is five years older than me so the players I was playing with at the time were near enough double my age. I wasn’t really taking football seriously at that point before joining my grassroots team but playing with the older kids massively helped my development.

It seemed as though I wasn’t going to get a scholarship at Northampton as well.
On the last day, everyone had found out they had a scholarship and I was waiting to find out but I didn’t receive the call. Everyone was in the chat saying ‘did you call the call?’ and I was like ‘I guess I’m not getting the scholarship’. Then the next morning when everyone was meeting up, the manager called me and said ‘you have your scholarship. Come with the rest of the boys’. So they didn’t tell me I wasn’t going to get a scholarship but it was clear to see because everyone else found out the day before.
According to Toney there was never a time where he didn’t think he would be a footballer. He just kept playing while he enjoys the game.
