Lincs Owl Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Sterland Shirtliffe Smith and loads of the others all played in the early 80's when Jack Charlton was here. Shutt would have been in reserves/youth team. 'Since Big Jack' surely means players debuting or signing August 1983 onwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) I wouldn't normally compare but in this instance I think it's fair..... United's Home Grown XI Aaron Ramsdale Matt Lowton Kyle Walker Harry Maguire Phil Jagielka Kyle Naughton Jacob Mellis Michael Tonge David Brooks Dominic Calvert Lewin Billy Sharp They've got more Kyle's than decent centre midfielders but apart from that...... All still playing except Tonge. Several worth over £10m It puts our Academy in the past in a very bad light. Edited May 11, 2020 by Nero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANJO59 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Any one remember Peter Shirtliffe’s brother Paul playing for us, and did Peter play for us twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did not have an academy at the time of most of those players development, but I agree with the sentiment. Wednesday have only ever paid lip service to youth development in the 50+ years I have been watching them, while local clubs such as Barnsley and Dem Blunts have invested heavily in the last 25 years. We have constantly wasted money on purchasing players at the top or on their way down trying to either by success or avoid failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Utd have probably got over half a dozen teams that would beat ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him, yes he did play for us twice, he had a spell at Charlton and did very well, he was a big part in their side that beat Leeds in play offs. I think we had a couple of other brothers that came through academy, can't remember names, I think one played in League cup quarter final when we beat Wimbledon at Selhurst. Edit Linighan? Related to one that broke our hearts in cup final. Edited May 11, 2020 by bradowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at his stats from 93 94 - This is incredible stuff for a young Sheffielder in the top league in his first season... Ignore QPR that was season before 27 matches 14 wins 11 draws 2 defeats 6 goals from midfield I always think he is unfairly overlooked Great player, career cut short due to injury!
