Stud mark of doom Posted 14 June, 2013 Share Posted 14 June, 2013 Can someone help me out? I can only name one of these. I lost track of all the names in the wilderness years. From left to right: that pretty good midfielder who went to Doncaster; the full back who thought he was too good for us and jumped ship just before we turned the corner; no idea; Adam Lallana; no idea. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 14 June, 2013 Share Posted 14 June, 2013 "The Bales, the Walcotts, the Chambos..." Am I the only one who can't stand this ridiculous pluralisation that seems to be a prevalent within the world of football these days? "The Bales.....", just how many Bales did we produce? Have we got any more on the books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gis Posted 14 June, 2013 Share Posted 14 June, 2013 Simon Gillet, Lloyd James, Olly Lancashire ??.......,Alan the Llama, David McGoldrick (who owed 70% of the goals he scored in the youth team to AL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmel Posted 14 June, 2013 Author Share Posted 14 June, 2013 (edited) Why does this picture serve as a reminder? None of these players are actually that good? Because you have five players who are playing professional football, that started off at Saints and are plying their trade across different divisions. Very few clubs could lay claim to that......Which was kind of the point of the thread. They might not all be top flight footballers in the bale, Walcott, Oxo model, but there are plenty out there that have come through the ranks that are playing professional football.

SaintsCorner Posted 14 June, 2013 Share Posted 14 June, 2013 McGoldrick was top scorer in League One for half of the season this year, until a Championship club came in for him. A far better player than many on the South Coast will give him credit for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, if very few clubs produced five players, we would struggle to have a five-a-side league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fill your boots....another team that has (And this is a guess) 5 academy players playing professional football across all leagues - outside of man u. I think our total is somewhere near 15. The point is we are pretty good at that side of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 17 June, 2013 Share Posted 17 June, 2013 If nothing else, that link also gives us a view of david in sweden's use of unnecessary bold and underlining at its absolute worst... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
