Re: Youth team on the brink of the title

What's the perspective on how this bodes for the future??

In my 35 years of BFC I can only remember 3 or 4 players who have broke through and gone on to have careers in the top 2/3 leagues, is this a sign of that changing??

The next Southampton/West Ham or not?
