Football - Academy players coming through
Crap title I know.
Inspired by two goals at the weekend by West Ham players who have come through the ranks and to a lesser extent the young Italian kid scoring for Man Utd, I think it's one of footballs greatest feelings to see a kid come through the youth ranks at a club and make their 1st team debuts and if they happen to score on that debut then it really doesn't get better.
Granted they will no doubt believe their own hype with 2 months, sell their Peugot for a Bentley, roast a non compliant glamour model, request higher wages and get their agent to put out the feelers, but for that one glorious moment it epitomises what football is all about.
Cheers
