I have a new rule where any mention of Stevie Carr has to be followed by this video:

I'll leave the Spurs one to someone like Hamster with far more knowledge than myself.

[The Lusophone]

Does Beckham really count though? He was at United from just before his 14th birthday...

Forgotten about because I never rated the guy (probably unfairly): Jake Livermore.

I just copy-pasted from Wiki. It's tenuous I'd say.

Aye. I was tempted to claim David Platt in the wider ranged one I was going to do, despite the fact he finished his youth career at Crewe. It's incredible that we let him go considering his later career.

Sturridge is in the Villa and City teams?

[The Lusophone]

Age 7-11 he was at Villa, 11-14 Coventry, 14-17 Man City youth.

I think being in the academy before puberty is kind of irrelevant. Half the players in a premier league's academy at age 10 are probably turning out for the red lion by the age of 21

[Cheeky Hughes]

I was playing for City at age 7. Says it all really.

[The Lusophone]

And you still played for City's first team more times than Michael Johnson.

[Cheeky Hughes]

Weighed less too
