A team of local lads or supporters...

Bit of fun....it crossed my mind, after Pembo said the signing of Goldbourne was swayed by him being a local lad and one of us...as to whether we could fill a team of players that were either local, from the academy or fans of the Club.

We presently have quiet a few at the Club and in the first team squad...and the likes of Hamer and Skuse still knocking about.

Any more you can think of that would be Championship quality?

Would it possible to be the Athletic Bilbao of the UK?

What makes you think Tyrone is a City fan?

Being a fan was not the only criteria. Otherwise many of those listed here would not be included.  See the title of the thread.

 

I am taking it Bath is classed as local

Quaint notion, but totally unrealistic. There's a great piece in one of the last few editions of the Bountyhunter about Athletic Bilbao and "el Cantera" if you have it  anywhere amongst your old football programmes in an old folder anywhere. This article explains their system quite well but not as eloquently, passionately or informed as the aforementioned.
