Hull City AFC Academy 2019/20

Jordy de Wijs was born in Belgium. If that helps.

 

I see Greaves and Sheaf started for Cheltenham's game against Morecambe, it finished 0-0, Greaves played the full match and Sheaf was subbed on 56 minutes.

 

Surprised sheaf getting a game tbh
Must be some prospect then. Didn’t see much in him in the brief bits I’ve seen. All good

 

Sheaf is a good player, though I would say Greaves is exceptional for his age.

 

Not comparing him to greaves John
Meant past academy lads can’t seem to get a game on loan he’s in.
Good for us

 

There is no doubt Sheaf was well-liked by Nigel and Grant seems to rate him also. His brother who is on Arsenal books, and was actually at Donny on loan last season, seems to be even better by all accounts.

However, as you say the 2 of them getting league experience is good for us.

 

I

Is he a local boy, sheaf?

 

I'm sure many on here who were present during the dire mid-late 90s will remember Mark Greaves playing for us, but was trying to think if Jacob makes a full appearance (as expected at some point) if there are any other father/son combos who have played for City?

All I could come up with was Pat Heard and Jamie Heard - but then can't remember if Jamie actually made a league appearance for us or not?

 

Dont think glyn Houghton quite made a first team appearance either.

 

No, I believe both himself and his brother were at Arsenal and he was released and we picked him up.

 

Sheaf is from Kent. He is the first city player to make a senior appearance that was born in the 21st century (KLP was the second).

 

Jamie Heard played once for the seniors, in a LDV game (quoted the wrong post, soz).

 

Assume Ken's son? Can't say I remember him at all - probably around when I was a kid.

 

Don't recall going to an Autoglass thingy since the 90s, so probably missed that.

 

I do against Chester think the attendance was under 600!

 

Ye smashing kid
Too nice tho
Was at city and released

 

What year we talking?

 

Never went to the Chester match. Not one of the infamous 5000 who claimed to be there.

Wasn't living in Hull at the time and in truth, I ****ing hated the Autoglass Cup - although was sad enough to travel to a few away games in it previously.

 

Err late 70’s I reckon
He’s about 58 59 now I think
Did Dennis booths lad ever make a first team appearance?? Right little cock he was
Not Dennis off of here obviously
