It wasn't the career he expected: a former reggae music artist, Lyle packed that in to work as a building surveyor - until the ardent Gooner thought “I never heard enough from actual Arsenal football fans. You'd always hear from pundits, and ex-players, [but their] views didn't necessarily reflect what you'd hear from the fans at the games or in the pubs. I wanted to solve the problem of why we never heard from the guys that are invested in their football teams, the diehard fans."
One of Lyle's friends had a YouTube boxing channel. "I approached him with the idea of starting something together, about Arsenal, but he was too busy. I thought to myself, 'I'm just going to do it' - even though I had no experience in filming or editing, or social media. I just really wanted to have a platform, in video, where fans could have their say, because I felt that our voices were not being heard."
