I'm starting to think I'll never make it as a professional footballer, what with only having one surname.

The kids are all shite :barscarf:

Who will be the next to have a decent game against Doncaster or Borisov and be handed a multi million pound contract to wave around as a badge of honour in a Soho nightclub while coked off their heads?

Before leaving at 21 to make 15 appearances for Southend or Northampton or Colchester and slipping in to non-league by the age of 25.

They can go to Colchester but we don't want them at Southend. :D

Shame, I might have made the short trip down the A12 to watch had it been at Colchester.

I remember the (fairly recent) times that we were winning the fa youth cup on a regular basis with a predominantly english/Irish side ........ how many of them made it afterwards ? I remember being really impressed with the likes of graham barrett, arturo lupoli and aliadaire, but they have gone on to do the square root of fcuk all in the pro game - makes you question the usefullness of a good youth team :roll:
Have to be honest as well, and say that my interest in the younger AFC teams is minimal nowadays - it used to be that the majority were genuine home grown (british and Irish), but now the johnny foreigners seem to be over-running the underage set up too
