But Curly was team man for all those players. Probably.

Nope

Back on topic, who would you regard as our last home grown success story?

We picked up Jutkiewicz as a 16 (?) year old, so I guess he could count. Can't really remember the last one. Buzzer? I guess Bodin Jr has a shot if we don't sell him.

Not sure this has much relevance on the whole ' are the youth setup under-performing' argument. For all I know all academies at our level may be the same, Crewe aside .

Depends what you regard as a success. We've had a few that have made pro.

in our case, I think sucess is when the youth system can pay for itself or even make money for the club. Reglardless of when they (players) entered the system or who they end of playing for.

I doubt any clubs youth system does that. We've had good fees for a few players though

As a fan I'd regard success as a player or two that can break into the first team and not end up at supermarine.

Storey or bodin may have a chance..

Not sure how the club view success though.

I'd agree. Anyone who goes onto play professionally or is sold i'd say would fit that catagory.

I'd also say that semi pro football is stronger due to clubs like ours,just like the football leagues are stonger for the top academy's. Players drop down a level so football overall is better for it imo.

We cant compete with most local rival's facilities / coaches / setsups etc... one of the best strategies we can do is invest in scouting and get what drop outs we can from the bigger clubs - try to pick up a shaun wright-philips for example.. also try to attract the best talant from clubs similar to ours, and this was what budgie was good at

Not sure where the idea that Curly has been Tea Boy for over 30 years came from. Certainly for the 70's,80's and most of the 90's the players drinks were made by ex BR men Pete Smith and Bob Richens. Both really nice guys who worked with Macari, Ardilles,Hoddle and Gorman,anyone else remember them?

Don't know Pete Smith but Bob Richens is a name I recognise.  Think he ended up sweeping the Legends Lounge up if it had been used the previous day.
