The guardian article is limited to first year scholars (Sep 2000 to Aug 2001) so pretty limiting. Would have thought Molumby is actually our best young prospect?
It’s a snippet in time that just shows how hard it is to call a young player’s progress.
No, his assister ran towards him, and Cashman ran away from him. I don't like that.
We got an unusual opportunity to assess this particular cohort (though not actually Cashman), as Potter went and played a lot of them together against Villa's first team in the League Cup!It’s a snippet in time that just shows how hard it is to call a young player’s progress.
Turns out The Guardian focussed in on a guy who is now the best player in a National League South team. Teddy Hoare I think became Teddy Jenks and is now at Forest Green, though I’m willing for AZ to correct either of those facts as the googling rather drops off a cliff. (Edit looks like they loaned him to Ross County).
AZ himself correctly called that the most likely to progress direct to first team was Connolly, who it’s best you & I don’t discuss

Interesting how few of these boys have had a career in the professional game. Obviously, some exceptions with Hudson-Odoi, Anthony Gordon, Nathan Collins and Curtis Jones. Oliver Skipp is also having a career in the Premier League, although not for much longer as he's awful and being found out.
I believe because Boreham Wood is where Arsenal Ladies play.
