If we signed him that would be yet another player coming back to the club after being released from the Youth System/Academy. Somebody ought to devise a quiz question for this [not me], but I can come up with two immediately off the top of my head, and that's Kevin Phillips and Dennis Wise. I'm sure there are others too.

To be fair, Ings has turned into quite a player.

They turned me down when I was 14 and again when I was 16...... I am 44 now and available to return.

*stares at phone*
 
Don't know much about Ings but seems to be doing well this season. Hasn't he had a couple of bad injuries in the last couple of seasons?
 
Did they have a youth policy back then .....

Oh, ha-ha..! ;)

Our captain was taken up by Saints, one David Stamp. He was a year older than me, so I was considered for the next year or so. In the book, In That Number, you can see David sitting cross legged next to Nick Holmes for a pre-season all-squads photo, after he has progressed a few seasons. Hang on, I'll check the page for those who have a copy and wish to see him... page 121.

I know I was being watched but whenever there was a whiff of knowledge that a scout was around I'd have a terrible game because I became so nervous.
 
Probably said before and highly overambitious and unlikely but could we tempt cole to finish his career here? provided he takes a pay cut? Not played since sunderland defeat and would arguably get more time when shaw is injured/knocked? Silly idea really...

Buttner is rumoured to be leaving utd, stand in for shaw?

Why do we need another lb?
 
Sounds like Benali

More like Gazza.

Well, my parents weren't encouraging. In fact, my Dad didn't even know I played for my school football team from the 2nd year onwards, and wouldn't have been interested if I did, and Mum just used to wash my gear and gasp every season when I'd ask for another pair of football boots [what again..? You had a pair last year..!] So anything I did, I did very much off my own back, and I really wanted to do it. I was just extremely nervous of failing.
 
Well, if Targett reaches his potential we won't. On balance, I think I trust the Saints academy. I'm with you.

He is already good enough to be back up. Fox is only back up as he seems to help the youngsters a lot according to a few of them.
 
Must been around the same team as Keith Grainger.
Was MLT and Shearer around at that time

Granger yes, but I never recall MLT. Shearer was signed on school boy terms the same day they let me go... Fools I tell you, fools! Benali and Craig Mascall were there then I recall.
