Another season in the Championship

Since Des Walker, can you actually name one world class player our academy (and even in his case, I'm not even sure how long he was in it, as he was essentially a Sours product) has produced?

I guess Clough, Crossley, Stone, Jenas, Dawson and Bamford weren't too shabby, but still far from world class.
Jenas, Dawson, Reid, Bamford, Burke, Hodge, Anderson, Woodcock, Fairclough, Woods…
 
I'll give you Anderson at a push, but failing to see how the rest classify as 'world class'.
OK poor choice of wording on my part perhaps but Woodcock? Hodge?
