Yep the old Central League. Used to to teh first team one week then the reserves next. Never missed a match.I remember the good old days when the reserves played down villa park when the first team were away and our ST got us in free into the Trinity which was the only stand open, even used to get a teamsheet on the turnstile.
Kane Taylor has started 5 games for Citeh U18s this season and been subbed in three of those games after 12, 28 and 36 minutes. He has a further 3 substitute appearances and he's a left back - not a lot of people know that!That article is from the 6th Aug 2019. ?

Not that we are a bitter lot likeI remember the last 'hot talent' we lost. Everyone was crying at the time. It was Arsenal who poached a then 16 year old Dan Crowley from us.
Forward on 7 years, he's had loans at Barnsley and Oxford plus a stint in Holland. He then signed for Blues and I believe they have just released him.
Basically he ended up being shit. Chances are same will come of this guy who went to man City.
The majority of kids don't make it, due to many things, a lack of ability not being the top one. Mentality being the top one, for every James Milner there are 1000's of Rushian Hepburn Murphys.

I suppose the only possible difference is that we are buying youth players for actual money this time round. I'd be surprised to see Barry playing for Shamrock Rovers in four or five years time. Doesn't mean he'll be a star, but I think we and other clubs are being more intelligent in sourcing and preparing them now.Bit of realism needed around our youth teams I think .
We will be hugely lucky if even one from the youth cup win the other night makes it with us.
