I like this story,i like it a lot.

You may be the only one Leefer  :)

Well of course there are reasons Reg.....think his dad cant win to be honest as really its his decision....Jordan Young didn't snub Chelsea did he....his parents did and they have obviously turned there back on a few quid and thought long term.

As i said it is nice that one lad and his parents are staying here at the Town rather than going to Chelsea,east to knock and be cynical...not many of our trainees support the Town so the Liverpool thing is a bit of a Red Herring really.........good on them.

On the radio the dad said it was the prospect of travelling 3 hours a day to train that put the kid off, and it was the kids decision.

Good luck to him and all that but the chances of any benefit coming to STFC the pro football club must be about 0.

The Evening Standard is reporting this this morning as well.  Good luck to the lad involved.
