@admira Should Tom Huddlestone be included?

But yes some names there, and quite a few more in recent years although that may have been driven by necessity and not the highest quality youth products.

Huddlestones debut possibly pre-dates some of those at the beginning of the list so maybe that’s why he’s not in the last 50

Is that only players who have made their debuts FOR Derby? What if they made their league debut for a league club whilst on loan from us?

Yes just for Derby 

I think this is about right although the order may be slightly off. League games only (many just made one sub appearance).

It shows that the academy has produced far more players in recent years than it did previously.

I've ignored players such as Jozwiak, Connor Doyle, Shinnie, Calaro who made a debut for a league club outside of England as tried to focus on the youngsters. 

Let me know if I have missed anyone.

I think the key here is that we aren’t now paying Max Bird’s wages….. Bristol Titty are.

Mind u, maybe some or all of that ‘saving’ was utilized elsewhere (eg Adams)….

I wonder how Bird will feel if the ultimate happens and T'Rams get promoted? He'd then be in the same division but find himself having to move house to join a smaller club.

Full caps: 0

Fun fact: Played in a European Cup semi final (not for Scunthorpe!)

We are now in the top 10 points per game in the 92 clubs list, but still third in League One. A shade off that magic two points per game.

I still feel that the 98th minute penalty equaliser for Wycombe at home is going to be huge at the end of the season.
