James,

I think the centre-half was a little younger than Under-18s level. I think he was 6'1" at the age of 14, so it may be that he appeared for the Under-16s instead. It's easy to concentrate on the Under-18s, but there is a lot of good work going on further down the age groups as well.

Cheers Rob - I obviously wasn't listening to RD properly - could have sworn he said he was older than that!!
