Just been wondering, do we think having a footballer dad is something we look out for as it *in theory* helps ground players?
Ferguson, Hinsh, Mac Allister. Ferdinand in the youth team…
If we’d signed him for £10,000,000 in the summer we’d all be praising the recruitment team for unearthing another gem.
He’s young so he will have dips in form but his progression is startling, going to have a massive career.
I hate to be the one of the burst your bubble, but the youngest English player in Europa League history is Dane Scarlett at Spurs who made his debut when he was 16.
Hinsh & Bellingham are joint 40th...
Mainly because it’s not actually true, unfortunately.
The stat that was posted after the Athens game was that he was the youngest since Bellingham… which isn’t even that long ago really.
Still, great week for the lad.
Edit: Youngest to start a match since Bellingham!
This is the most mental opinion in a thread where Dwayne is in full attention seeker mode!
Pre-ACL Hish was a brilliant defender, think he was probably more naturally talented than Elphick who had a pretty decent career.
