Can you remember the 1966 World Cup Final ........ you know, the one which ended with Bobby
Moore (sadly deceased) lifting the Jules Rimet Trophy? It was on television and it was in black and

Some time ago, a friend and I were discussing youth power in football and how an academy brings
out talent time and again. I thought this would be an interesting topic to write on though it has

Here we go again.
With the class of 2010 ruthlessly chewed up and spat out by the media; labelled spoilt over-paid,
over-rated wasters, the press hordes have moved onto their next target.
That person is Jack Wilshire, a young player of extreme talent yes, but one who is already been
