Well my mate is a “pacey winger”, and has got a trial lined up with the Under-18s. He would be part of the new intake if successful.

How old is Troy A-H now?
I may be thinking of the wrong person but wasnt he a youth player? I'm sure I once had high hopes about him.
I like the idea of keeping Spurs people at the club, even if they don't make the grade as a player.
Edit. I think @bat-chain batman have just part answered my question as I was typing it!

Troy is only 30, so must have retired early for one reason or another.

Yeah, I'd be interested to know what's happened in his career.
Like I said, I'm sure I remember being quite excited by him when he first came on the scene.
Can't believe how long ago that was!
Pretty much confirmed by him not by the club yet.

Interesting appointments.
Do worry about Gibbs' influence in the academy considering his background at hoofball Watford. I recall Troy being an absolute donkey. Shame to see he's had to retire early but huge kudos to MacDermott and the club supporting ex players.

TAH played for Exeter, Carlisle and Swindon and was released by Exeter a year ago after two injury-plagued seasons. Probably just decided it wasn't worth continuing as a player.

Nigel Gibbs did a great job while at Reading working with the youngsters so I am sure he will do a good job here as well.

burnett still managing the u23s then ...
mason's role is a little strange i think, maybe doesn't feel confident enough to take on a more full time position just yet. i did notice at the last u18s game i went to that he wasn't particularly vocal and preferred to have little chats with the players whilst mcdermott was the one doing all the instructing/shouting, not saying you necessarily have to be loud to be a coach but it is kind of expected.
