I even remember England Schoolboy Internationals, they always seemed to be against West Germany or Scotland, on Saturday afternoons at Wembley. Crowds 60,000 plus.

Happy days! School coach trip, John Sissons of West Ham scoring five against Wales.............

There was an Albion bus that went to those. Happy days. Michael Owen always seemed to play, and before him maybe Robbie Fowler. Seemed to have real meaning back then as compared to the somewhat sterile atmosphere around development games now, but maybe that's just my wonky perception

Often the kids fell away, not making England's senior team, the theory was that they'd developed too early.

But I think Terry Venables played at every level.

I should mention, I watched the Poland game and my goodness was Moder poor. Subbed off after an hour, lost the ball constantly and looked slow. Nothing like the player we've seen glimpses of in the stripes.

Maybe Potter's told him to sandbag, to avoid injury...

Karbownik played 73 mins for the Poland u21s today playing LWB in a very similar looking formation to the Seagulls. Will hopefully of added to his match fitness at least .
