Players who have came through the academy.....

[Lloydystark]

So I’ve been supporting Everton for 25 years (1995) and I’ve tried to come up with a squad (I use the term squad very lightly) of players who have actually come through the academy to play for either us or a league side and have made a successful ( or average) career since 1995....

Really struggling on gks And I’ve probably missed some obvious players
It’s quite worrying to see how many Premier league standard players we’ve produced in the last 25 years

Yeah that list is way off mate.

The majority of our youth over the last 25 years have all gone on to play some form of league football.

Would imagine the real figure is in the hundreds.

 

[street end]

Wasn’t Jags in his mid twenties when he joined us?

Goalkeepers, Rudd and Ruddy?

Yeh no doubt, I was going to post what I thought were the best squad we’d produced but then found myself listing any old player from the FL

Jags was briefly in our academy as a young un.

Ah ok, can we take credit for his development?

Probably not, I dont think he was here for long.

However, he first impressed youth scouts whilst playing for his local team Hale Barns United in Altrincham. He predominantly played midfield during his time with the club. He also played for his school team, Moorlands Junior School, playing any position including in goal and with boys 2 school years above him.[citation needed] He was at the academy of Everton as a youngster and spent time training with clubs such as Stoke City, and Manchester City, before joining Sheffield United in 1998 at 15 years of age

There's an academy ?

Nick Chadwick... believe he scored for the first team as well.

 

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

Wasn't Baines signed from Wigan, only got a regular game when we sold Lescott

Lescott moved back to central defence and Baines took the left back position.

 

[AdamEFC]

Keepers you’ve got Adam Davies and Jamie Jones who have gone on to have decent FL careers.

Former academy player Chris Long also scored a hat trick for Motherwell on the weekend.

Peter Clarke has played a lot of games at various clubs.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

We've always been good at producing players who have a career in the game. We've been rubbish at producing players that will improve our league position. Of that list, only really Rooney and Barkley have had an international career of note, which is the calibre of player we need to progress as a club.

Must be a tough sell now, as everybody's scouting network gets wider and players are getting signed up younger and younger. As a club we are competing with Liverpool and the two Manchester clubs recruiting kids... The only way you succeed is by having better coaching/facilities or success on the field.
