Over the years I can think of several full backs and midfielders that have come from our academy and been reasonably or very successful. I can think of hardly any goalkeepers, wingers or strikers though. In particular since the days of Toshack and Showers when did we produce our own striker? One who has scored for us or at another club. The only one I can think of ironically was the Irish chap who was a goalkeeper turned striker... Josh Maggenis. Surely there are others. If not why not?
Is there another club in the country with such a poor record in this?
