Brighton u18s 2 - 2 Saints u18s Pitts and Merry the goal scorers. Come on, @SAINTOSPREY you're slacking!
Cast your mind back and Southampton managed to get youth players from under the noses of Newcastle - Shearer and Graham Baker are two that come to mind.
Neil Maddison and Tommy Widderington. I can’t remember the name of the scout up there, but I guess they had a connection with Dave Merrington

And another window where Jake Vokins is still here. Kind of academy related I suppose. No-one has seen or heard from him since being recalled from a ****ty loan at Woking last January due to a lack of gane time. And yet he hasn't gone out on loan since, or even played a match for the u21s ... he must have picked up a serious injury?
Jay Rob scored for for the u21s (he's only 16) and called up to England u17 on same day. The next Ballard?
