Are you ready?
A new high score!
See this, like, island here on the right ...
over this hill here?
That's Whale Island.
That's where I used to train with United Services
because it's part of the Navy and the Army.
Grassroots football is the start of everyone's journey.
I started at grassroots football.
If you ask many players, they would say the same thing.
So coming back to the roots, coming back to where it all started,
can be quite emotional
because that's the first kind of memory that you have of football.
Kev, I need to work on my heading, mate.
Come on then, show us how it's done.
Go on, get me up there.
That's how it's done, boys.
Right now, we're in Portsmouth,
my hometown, where I grew up ...
where I trained when I was six years old.
United Services, this is obviously the team
where it all started for me.
Six-year-old Mason,
I don't think he'd expect myself to be where I am right now.
It's been a long journey.
I loved every game that I played when I was younger and growing up.
And one minute, I was that six-year-old
coming through the academy,
playing games for my Sunday league team,
and now you're at a stage where you're playing for England.
And it goes so quick,
so just enjoying every moment, making the most of that.
But yeah, what a journey it's been.
And as I said before, it's not done yet.
I mean, it's amazing now that I can inspire
the youngsters coming through
to follow in my footsteps.
I take huge pride in that.
Alright, boys, say ta-ra then.
-Good to see you. -Thank you.
Keep working hard. Keep enjoying it.
-See you later. -And you. Take it easy, mate.
My grandad, my dad, and also all my family,
they've been so supportive.
I definitely wouldn't be where I am right now
if it wasn't for them.
My grandad has been a massive ... massive part of my journey.
He always used to come to the games when I played when I was younger,
and he always used to come along and travel up to Cobham
when I was training for Chelsea.
And I learned so much from him and that kind of ...
that toughness, that fight that he has.
And ... I tried to take all of that and use that in my football
and obviously me as a person as well.
Of course, my dad as well taking me to the games when I was younger,
and his influence in football being a manager
and everything that I learned from that ...
really was special to me.
That focus from a young age ...
stemmed from also being from Portsmouth.
Obviously, it's a very working-class city,
and we're hard-working.
We do everything we could to be successful,
and ... yeah, that's why I'm extremely proud to be from here
and everything that's happened.
I've got the Air Max 1s on,
a shoe that I wore when I was younger also.
Maybe I did scuff them up a bit when I was younger,
but it adds character to a shoe.
They represent growing up.
I'd say it's the pinnacle of our sport ...
representing your country.
You can't ...
you can't get better than that.
I think for me, every time I walk into
the dressing room before the game
and see my name on a shirt hung up on the wall,
you're not just representing yourself in that moment,
so there's a lot of, obviously, pressure on that.
And I always feel like as soon as I see that shirt,
it's now time to go
and do everything that you've built up to that moment
and put it onto the pitch and try and do the best you can.
And it's such an honor to wear that shirt,
and every time I do put it on, it is a real "pinch me" moment.
I'll always be a Pompey boy.
I don't get to come home that often,
but when I do, it brings me back to, obviously,
all them memories that I have when I was younger.
To see the family and to come down to the seaside ...
it's so special to me,
so when I do it, I always try to make the most of it.
Yeah, this is ... this is the hometown,
so, yeah, I always see myself as from here.
