Rob k Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 That Ben Harmer the Charlton keeper used to have a season ticket for City and all his family are City? Is he another one that got away as with Butland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bs3 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 I remember a Withywood lad called Nicky Johns who played for Charlton . At one time he was British transfer record for a goalkeeper . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamBCFC Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Butland was on trial here very young and got rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcherryberry Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 That Ben Harmer the Charlton keeper used to have a season ticket for City and all his family are City? Is he another one that got away as with Butland? Hamer grew up in Chard, Somerset & was on Readings books as a teenager. So yeah suppose you could say he is one that got away. This is why a scouting network is crucial to a club like ours long term. Im under the impression we only got Russ Richardson based up north?! City have and continue to miss out on local talent as we simply have no scouts. We ignore the South West & Wales and let clubs like Southampoton, Norwhich, Brum & WBA among others to cherry pick all the best kids/young pros. Julian Dicks, Kevin Miller, Jason Dodd, Scott Hilley, Darren Eddie, Guy Whittingham, Darren Peacock, Andy Johnson, Micheal Duff, Grant McCann, Joe Mason, Jack Butland and so on are all proof of this.

RedRock Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Yep, was talking to a local league manager today down in Exeter today .... he mentioned this lad and his local connections. What with Austin, Butland really does make you question our scouting/coaching system. It's not as if we have much/any competition in the SW is it!

Exactly this, why do we keep missing out on quality local talent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric04 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 If you've been to Southampton's academy, you'd know why we miss out on some. Given the choice, as a player, you would go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
