...no real providence, Raino. I know he went to De La Salle and links to the Rooney’s in the Western Approaches Pub in Croxteth.

....I thought about John Doolan as I remember him playing for the Academy but I didn’t think he played a league game.
Edit; Just checked, no first team appearance but I’ve thought of another interesting thread and John certainly qualifies for that.

How Wayne Rooney and Francis Jeffers followed different paths...
The similarities were uncanny – both Everton prodigies, both from Croxteth, both given England debuts in the same game – but then everything changed. Sam Wallace talks to the one who never played for his country again, admits his career is‘a cautionary tale’ and now looks back at unfulfilled dreams

Just had a little search.
Both from Croxteth apparently
My first ever blues autograph at the Rocket in the 1968 homecoming - he had a ciggie in his hand as he signed it lost it on the bus on the way home =doh - who would have thought only 2 years later I would see him in his glory going a long way to win us the title - doh lost big Nevs the same way..... much later......

Has Morgan Feeny played a league game for us? Did he play in that massacre against Arsenal? Or am i imagining it?
I know he played a few Europa league games?
And as Victor Anichebe was born in Lagos, with Beni Baningime being born in DR Congo, did he grow up on merseyside?

Are we not counting European appearances? Know we've had a few throwaway games where we've played a lot of the kids but the academy does take great pride in those games. There used to be a few Jack Rodwell bits up around Finch Farm when he played in Europe. Same too with Anichebe and Hope Akpan.
....I think league games are a definite reflection of coming through the ranks, in recent seasons the likes of Fraser Hornby and Anthony Gordon played in Europa League, Gordon has gone on to play in the PL whilst Hornby is playing abroad.
I’m sure those lads who have represented the club in Europe are rightly proud of their achievement and it will always be a feather in their cap.
...good point, I think Beni is one for inclusion if he was raised on Merseyside.

...ha, ha. I included Leon Osman who was born in Wigan, but grew up in Skelmersdale.
...apologies, Raino, Adam Forshaw needs adding to the list as he played a league game for us but I have no idea which district he’s from.
Peter billing played a few times for us he was a scouser
A kopite from West Derby according to an article from his time at Middlesborough.
Forshaw on his normal life, Boro's morale & the 'best decision'
Adam Forshaw tells Jonathon Taylor about growing up on Merseyside and dealing with the difficulties of getting into Aitor Karanka's side
"Ever since his tender years, a Liverpool season ticket holder living a stone’s throw away from Everton’s training ground, Forshaw has grafted for everything."
....yep, included Peter in the summary. A teammate of mine for a bit, but I was coming to the end of my playing then. I remember he lived very close to @Groucho off Derby Lane and I think he frequented the nearby snooker club.
