When and where is the Youth Cup Final

[Starry]

Where are they now?

Pettinger now at Kettering been with a few lower div clubs with little impact
Couzens made a few apparences at Leeds, but then went on to have short spells at Blackpool and Carlisle before disapearing (retiring) at the age of 25.
Sharp moved on to Wigan who he served well for 6 years between 1995-2001, and has had stints at Wrexham, Huddersfield, Scunthorpe, and is now at Shrewsbury.
Tinkler, after a few appearances, moved onto York, Southend before joining Hartlepool in 2000, where he still remains.
Daly ?
Bowman moved onto Carlisle and Rotherham, before disapearing in 2000
Smithard made no first team appearances, and moved on to rivals Bradford where he managed one appearance, before vanishing
Ford after some appearances in the Leeds first team, moved on to Burnley, then spent a year in Belgium with the mighy Lommel, before stints with Darlington and Torquay, then drifting to northern non league football
Whelan possibly one of the few noticeable names here, after limited first team appearances, made 130 appearances for Coventry between 1995-2000, then moved on to Middlesborough, where he only made 51 appearances, following a loan spell with the s*um, has had brief stints since with, Millwall, Derby, Aberdeen, and is now at Boston
Oliver ?
Forrester, after Leeds had stints with 2 Lincolnshire clubs, before joining UC Ultrecht, had loan spell with Walsall, before joining Northampton where he stayed for a few years, and was a bit of a dangerman when there, was at Hull for a bit, but now at Bristol Rovers

And that is roughly where the whole 1993 winning squad is not.

And look at the team they convincingly beat, just shows that no matter how good they are at youth level the step up to first team is huge.

Whelan isn't at Boston anymore, he's at SportingChance. We are going to see him next week

Which should be noted in the context of the HYSTERIA surrounding Joe Gatting and whether he should play on Saturday.

 

[Starry]

Indeed. We won the youth cup a few years later (beating Palace in the final!) with the likes of Kewell, Robinson, Woodgate, Jones though if you had asked me at the time I would have said our earlier team of Whelan et al were a better crop of youngsters!

Abso-diddley-lutely. It's also worth noting how few England schoolboy internationals go on to become full England internationals. For years Terry Venables was unique as he was the only player to have represented England at every level - even now I'm not sure if anyone else has done it.

I'll take it then that Manure won that game then, shall I ?
