An interesting (long) read if you have time over on the beeb. About the paths of 2 promising youngsters in football to where they are now.

I read that earlier. Good read if a little never ending I hope more is being done now to scoop up and help the many who don’t make it.Abdoulaye's Twin wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 3:40 pmhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/extra/hfe5e ... ible-Dream

Enjoyed that. A really good read. Nice to see Nobby get a mention. I recall him being involved with the Sunday league team whilst with us.
I’m sure I’ve read about trials being held with released players, but wasn’t sure how much support is offered to young players dropping out of the game at very young ages. Howard Gayle seems to be doing a good job for one!

I played in the FA cup once (I may have mentioned it?) and then was just dropped like a stone. No support at all!Burnden Paddock wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 6:33 pmEnjoyed that. A really good read. Nice to see Nobby get a mention. I recall him being involved with the Sunday league team whilst with us.

That explains a lot!
You mentioned playing in the FA Cup about as many times as I mentioned being at Anfield on 26th May 1989.

Pointed out for my attention on a dance website I'm a member of but I'm bit out of touch with football things so it didn't mean much...Guy is a professional currently on Strictly Come Dancing..??
