Newcastle 11

Reminiscing about the time when there were loads of Newcastle lads playing at the highest level (Gascoigne, Shearer, Robson, Beardsley, Waddle)

 

If money was no object, could we make a team from local lads playing at a high level now?

 

I'm struggling... all I can think of at the moment are Taylor, Harper and Carrick (I suppose you could include Chopra).

 

Anyone?

Bawan, Besty, Stevie, 2J, Magma, Jimbo, SLP and T-Keith

That's Newcastle Australia then. :lol:

 

Well that's jimbo and myself in the starting squad.

Can't be any worse than the Bawan, Besty, Stevie, 2J, Magma, SLP and T-Keith line-up.

to be honest, when you consider the size of the area, we haven't done too badly. Liverpool and Man U both had a stage where they simply farmed out premiership footballers, but that seems to have slowed to a halt. Gerrard, Carragher et al were the the last liverpool youngsters to really make it, if memory serves.

 

Everton produced Rooney and Vaughan... but that's about all I can remember.

 

Man U haven't had a kid make it with them since the Beckham and Scholes group came through.

 

We have produced (but haven't neccessarily held onto) Carrick, Taylor, Shola, Harper, Chopra. In all honesty I don't think that's a terrible haul for a city with our population.
