Is this the same Mark Beard who used to play for Sheffield United (among others!) back in the day? He was a superb CM as I recall it...

Yep, played for Millwall, Sheff Utd and a number of other clubs - Wikipedia - Mark Beard
I don't know about Ardingly College; I believe he is currently manager of Loxwood as well as being a full-time coach in Albion's academy (I think he coaches the U-15s).
He definitely got funding for an Academy at Ardingly, my mates son went there after being released from the Albion. His son was playing for Loxwoods mens team before he was 18. I remember the Academy used to play some decent teams from big clubs, including the Nike Academy.

No idea what has happened to Ian Buckman, who was previously head coach.

What a journey, Mick McCarthy and Howard Kendell his managers, playing with Ian Rush and Paul McGrath, then coaching in Spain and playing charity matches with Gazza. Also nice words about CH.
Who are the two U18 players that he thinks could play in the first team.
Peter Gwargis? Teddy Jenks? Matt Everitt?

I assume he was suggesting that he feels a couple of young players could have been involved this year, rather than a couple of U18's.
Presumably he's talking about Connelly and White.
Of his charges, Hayden Roberts has looked the standout for me.
Good interview, that. Very interesting to hear how well the kids did this year.
