I like this, and talking about Mikey's family, agreed, having spoken to him myself about his son, really nice guy, really realistic, humble and also a massive bloke (I'm not small myself). He has a good family supporting his development there!The problem we have had over the last couple of decades is our academy in general has been pretty poor in comparison to a lot of other clubs, and the players that have stood out have certainly been over hyped. The academy now is actually very strong as has been proven by both the 21's and 18's topping their leagues. On top of this the 18's and 16's also won their league cups last season to further prove that point. Mikey Moore is the stand out player at our academy that contains a lot of good players.
Thing is you can forget all that because he is a stand out player for his age group across the entire country, and by "his age group" I mean the under 18's and the kid is still 16. Of course this is no guarantee he will go on to be a world class talent, but he's not like Edwards, Bostock or Adel, all three of which had off the field issues. He's thoroughly dedicated and even if he started to wobble his old man would soon have him back on track because that's the type of family he comes from. Honestly mate this is basically the consensus of everyone I speak to within the game.
