Should have had more faith, Jasper. England won by 8 wkts.

 

Don't know if mentioned, but our young goalie Cody Cropper (great name) played in the USA U20s win over Haiti recently. Always tough for a GK to force their way through. I can't remember us bringing a GK through to the first team...unless you know better?

 

He's in bed

 

No I can't remember one and I've been following since the 70's. Cropper isn't ours though didn't we get him from Ipswich.

 

I know Cody's a recent acquisition, but we are polishing him You have to have good GKs if you want success for the U18s and U21s, so sometimes you get players in do a job who may never get into the first team. Will be pleasantly surprised if he comes through.

 

September man... I'm playing IV because I can't wait...

 

I assume Bartman doesn't count.

 

Well he signed from Gornik Zabrze and had made first team appearances. So I'd assume not.

 

Gerry Gurr signed for Saints as a 17 year old but wasn't part of the youth set-up. We signed him from Guldford City in 1974 and he eventually had his first game for the first team in 1967 in a 4-4 draw against Leicester where he saved a penalty. He then had to wait until Eric Martin was dropped at the start of the 1968-9 season when he finally got a regular place in the first team.

I think signing a 17 year old should count as "bringing through" even if he wasn't part of the youth team.

 

Actually I came into work at 05:45 ..yes I asm THAT sad

 

You must really like your job!
