CumbrianRam Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 He's only 24! Thought he was in his late 20s. Seems to have been around forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Sadly I can only see Jamie Hanson following the likes of Mark O'Brien, Miles Addison and Callum Ball down the football league. Hughes has plenty of natural ability and potential, while Hendrick has become a decent player, but those aside its been disappointing to see how few players have come through the Derby academy and actually become solid (top two tiers) pros. Leicester and Forest have unfortunately produced far better this side of the millennium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disagreeing here because I've not really thought about it but are there many examples of Leicester/Forest players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest have quite a few - Jenas, Huddlestone, Dawson, S Wright-Phillips, Morgan. Probably a fair few more that didn't make it to the Prem. But then Notts is a far bigger city than Derby so their talent pool is surely bigger. Leicester less so - can only think of Andy King recently.

I think DCFC would deserve a bit of the credit for his breakthrough into professional football though! Edit: then noticed I had omitted him from my list!

Tenuous links like that we might as well add Gary Cahill to our list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 18 or 19 and started out in the reserve team (in the days before 'academys' existed in their current forms). That's my recollection anyway, sure he got called up to England u21 team so doubt he was as old as 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most teams will have a long list of players who have played at this level due to teams naturally keeping younger players from the academy around until they realise they're not good enough. Christie didn't come through with us, while Riggott was prior to 2000. This side of the millennium you can only make a case for Huddlestone, Hendrick, Hughes, Grant and Camp. Forest have more as do Leicester I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
