We were trying to recall previous players who had made a similar step and succeeded. Chris smalling went from Maidstone to Fulham. Any others? Come on Juddie, it's not that hard if you look back at the Crewe conveyor belt of talent: Rob Jones,Neil Lennon,Danny Murphy,Dean Ashton, and even Seth Johnson and Robbie Savage (via Man Utd youth team) Graham Roberts and Andy Townsend both started at non league Weymouth. Kevin Keegan and Ray Clemence went from Scunthorpe to Liverpool. Gary Mabbutt was playing for England in less than a year,after leaving Bristol Rovers for Tottenham.

Title: Re: Nick Powell Post by: alanmayes on Sunday, June 17, 2012, 21:40:52 When the Town were in Division 4 (1983) we sold Paul Rideout to Aston Villa.
He had a choice of Villa or Liverpool and turned down a move to Anfield. Les Ferdinand started at Hayes and Nathan Ellington at Walton and Hersham FC. Goalkeeper Nigel Martyn started off in the Cornish non leagues,before joining Rovers and then moving to Palace.

Title: Re: Nick Powell Post by: Arriba on Monday, June 18, 2012, 08:14:01 Does Austin and Collymoore count? Both had been at big clubs before eventually getting picked up again.(Reading and Wolves)
Title: Re: Nick Powell Post by: Peter Venkman on Monday, June 18, 2012, 08:25:56 Does Austin and Collymoore count? Both had been at big clubs before eventually getting picked up again.(Reading and Wolves) I think Collymore would qualify becuase he was an apprentice at Walsall before he joined Wolves but I know what you mean, can you count failed footballer that have left bigger clubs before making it big.Title: Re: Nick Powell Post by: THE FLASH on Monday, June 18, 2012, 10:07:33 When the Town were in Division 4 (1983) we sold Paul Rideout to Aston Villa.

It came to me that i'd got it wrong when they were on about Keane on the radio today. Title: Re: Nick Powell Post by: leefer on Monday, June 18, 2012, 19:50:10 Think we got Colin Gordon from non league and sold him to Wimbledon for biggish bucks.
