Personally I think any player that has a career in league football is a success for our academy, they haven’t all got to be stars for us. The Townsend, mason, caulker (to a degree he got capped for England but personal problems etc), bentaleb, veijkovic, smith, Pritchard, Kane group was a fairly successful time for our academy. I’ve probably forgotten others from that group too. Most played a decent level of football if, apart from Kane, weren’t world beaters
Yep, that was a very productive period for our academy. I think you could add Carroll and Livermore to that group as well.
Me too in the youth games he always stood out thought he was nailed on
Pritchard
Add Massimo Luongo to the list too, he is a key player for Ipswich who is now 3rd in Championship. He won the Asian Cup with Ange's Australia in 2015 and scored in the final against South Korea. Guess who got a late equalizer for South Korea...

17?
He's saying he feels old. 2007 was only 5 years ago (it feels like)
Isn't the point that, at age 16, the contract is more an agreed 'statement of intent' - as he can't legally sign the pro deal until he is 17.
Clubs can off a scholar plus pro when they turn 17/18
That shoukd say, a scholarship off can be on the table at any age really, but some playwrs are offered a scholar plus pro, which thry can only sign when they turn 17.
A couple of stellas before you set off this morning?
That sounds a bit gangster...
