Best Youth Team XI

[Yorkshire Blue]

Bentley
Edwards Prior Roget McSweeney
Clark
Kightly Ferdinand P. Smith Moussa
S. Brown


Subs Capelton, Cross, Payne, Ademano, Lawson

Anyone I've missed?

Johnny Herd and Alex Woodyard were clearly surplus to requirements. I hope Ted Smith, Jack Bridge and MrsBlue's favourite make this list in future.

No Lockwood as he never played for us.

Where is Peter Taylor .

Glenn Pennyfather ??

Where is Peter Taylor .

Before my time. I did actually consider including him but wasn't entirely sure if we had a proper youth team back then.

Spud was certainly a produce of our youth development back then.

Not sure what formation I'd employ with this lop-sided XI, but I think they are the best eleven home-grown youngsters I can recall us fielding ;
Bentley, Edwards, Prior, Roget, Clark, Pennyfather, Payne, Moussa, Smith.N, Taylor, Nelson.

 

[Firestorm]

Engwell , Seadon , Gymer all came through the youth set up and played in the first team.
I think Andy Polycarpou and John Keeley did too

 

[OldBlueLady]

Didn't Tony Hadley as well?

True.

Danny Kerrigan, John Piekalnietis, Warren May, John Keeley... oh hang on, you said the BEST Youth team XI. Soz.

But you have missed Steve Dyer, played 67 times, decent right back in the 70's, Dave Barnett, centre half in early 70's, Frankie Banks (yes really - came through the juniors, played 5 times before going to Hull and then coming back when he played 86 times), Peter Hunt, a midfielder in the 70's, keeper Sean Rafter, full back Phil Dudley who played over 100 times, Jeff Hull, Adrian Owers, Scott Ashenden and Steve Brown (both played in the Collymore era - I think Brown scored on Stan's debut) and Stuart O'Keefe, now a Prem player. Plus probably loads more.

I may have missed the others but Scott Ashenden was terrible and Steve Brown was up front in my XI!

Joe Piekalnietis was signed from Nottingham Forest .

Bit harsh on Johnny Herd when he made 40 odd appearances when you have Ademano on the bench, who only played in 4 games!

Indeed, started as a trainee according to wiki.

Some good names from the past

Ademano probably carved out a better career than Herd - he established himself as a good conference player and even made it back to the football league before he suffered injuries - whilst Herd had to drop down below the conference to establish himself.


Anyway, as Chrisb has pointed out it was Justin Edinburgh I forgot:facepalm:
