Turkish Posted 16 August, 2022 Share Posted 16 August, 2022 (edited) Cheltenhams academy featured on a documentry I watched recently. They had a trial match against a load of kids from south london without clubs who play in the cages in the area and are spotted by a local scout to play in these sort of matches. The were all 16 or 17, they ended up offering one of the kids on the opposition a contract. I assume this guy was part of that process. I wonder if he’ll look to scout that area, people are saying it’s a hotbed of young talent with 1/6 of all English players coming from that area at the moment It was a very good series and before anyone asks it wasn’t saints related but a good watch Edited 16 August, 2022 by Turkish 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltonaggro Posted 16 August, 2022 Share Posted 16 August, 2022 Pete Haynes is a world leading expert in playing three centre backs, this appointment shows yet more intent from the Brentford way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lad used to ref at the academy and was always obvious ones that would stay and those who wouldn’t make it. Very cut throat and cruel at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed he said his son being a top player “it’s my dream”. there is another good one on channel 4 at the moment with Crystal Palace’s academy, last week was 3 12 years old who have been best mates all their lives, really good and again shows how brutal it can be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
