….might be wrong, but in the last 70 years I reckon we’ve had just 2 keepers from the Academy who played 50 games for us and they were from a bygone era; Albert Dunlop and Andy Rankin.

I suppose we’re due one :hayee:
I remember seeing Albert Dunlop play a few games for Wrexham in the mid 60’s and my biggest memory of Andy Rankin is him saving that penalty against Munchengladbach and having to hitch hike home as it went on so long I missed the last train!

Tbf in the entire history of the PL there's only been about 7 keepers to have made their debut post 92 (because that's when football started of course) and gone on to make 50 PL appearances for the club they were an academy graduate for.

It is insanely rare and difficult to do, probably the hardest thing in football. The only keeper in the past 10 years to have done it is Robert Sanchez
