Guest BooBoo Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I know we have had Ameobi and Taylor come through in the last few years but i think one thing the club have to address is the lack of youngsters who fail to make it as first team regulars. The likes of Paul Brayson and Michael Chopra banged goals in at all levels until the first team where they had few chances and generally looked not up to it when they did. Further down the ladder is the real dross like Pattinson and O'Brien where it becomes embarassing at how poor our input from junior level is. My personal favourite though was actually brought over as a teenager from Ireland- Jimmy Crawford. I'll never forget watching a drubbing at Anfield where the poor lad came on for the last 30 mins and we noticed him touch the ball precisely once- a throw in! Any other favourite junior disasters/ overhyped let downs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Marc Walton..Carl Finnigan both were scoring like fucking maniacs with the Reserves and U-18 and both never got a look in the first team, James McClen or whatever his name is was in the team for ages before being released.

Karjala Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Coppinger and McClen. I actually thought Dalglish wasn't that bad, and quite like Paul Robinson, but both were quickly shown the door when new managers came in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alijmitchell Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Fucking David Beharall - didn't he get a bit of action against the scum in 1999/2000? He was shite as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye i'm pretty sure I remember McClen having a decent-ish sort of game against Arsenal alongside acuna in midfield though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Chopra couldnt have been built up more. chris holland? was another one although some cunt throwing ammonia in his eyes didnt help him. shame for the lad. good shout should go out to the winners of that soccer stars show that never made it over long enough to stay for the prize. And less we forget pinas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elric Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Fucking David Beharall - didn't he get a bit of action against the scum in 1999/2000? He was shite as well Him. Can't remember who we were playing, but I remember clearly a moment of panic in the box where our man there totally sliced an attempted 'clearance' which led to a goal. Made O'Brien look like Maldini. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Joe Allon Wouldnt say he was crap necessarily but he showed so much promise as a kid playing alongside Gazza in the youth side - banged about a million goals or something. Scored a great goal against Coventry I think it was in one of his few starts but its just never happaned for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
