Dropped

Alfie Cain • Student/Youth company

60 minutes•Behind The Goals
Former Chelsea FC trainee Alfie Cain delivers a raw and powerful solo performance in Dropped, exposing the brutal reality of football’s unforgiving system. With 99% of young players failing to make it pro, Alfie relives his harrowing journey through rejection, shattered dreams and a world that offers little support once the game moves on. Told with unfiltered honesty and dark humour, this gripping 60-minute play reveals what happens when football is all you know – until it's gone. A must-see for fans and dreamers alike, Dropped is a searing indictment of the football factory that leaves so many behind.
