A few weeks ago, towards the end of the season I travelled to Shrewsbury. Lovely town, people quite insular but it would be like that. Too close to Wales for the locals not to be a little strange!

I was there to see a football match, and it was number 77 on my list of league grounds visited


The game was ok, Shrewsbury beat an awful Rushden and Diremonds (never has a nickname been more apt) but on view was a special talent

A 19 year old blonde English goalkeeper who looked sensational...

I returned home and that night PMed Nemesis and told him about my scouting find and both of us (I believe) had a few quid on the lad playing for England before he's 25...

Today Manchester City have signed him.....watch out for him he is the business, best goalkeeping talent I have seen at that age. Full stop.

David James is both error prone and ageing and in the next couple of years this lad is going to be a regular in the Premiership getting very busy behind Man City's back four. He is flamboyant and technically sound

Remember the name.

I've heard about this guy before. I had money on Kirkland for England, I will do the same here.

I'll keep an eye out for him.  Nice spotting a potential future someone isn't it.

Shrewsbury is cool!!
Great nightlife and some great guys at the footie.
I have been to dozens of games there because my mate Luke Rodgers used to play up front for them before moving to Crewe.
You should see the players lounge though!!

66-1

not a great price but through a mate and for the crack and to photocopy that slip when he turns into Shilton and gets 125 caps

Joe Hart has been named in the England U21 squad today for the first time

first step to an international career, though i dont think he has played in the Premiership yet has he?

Definitely one for the future

He's been on the bench for Man C most of the season

Just been loaned out to Hull. There, he should get plenty of practice and noticed a bit


No idea if Pearce picked the Eng U21 team this time, but I stick with my view. Hart is going to be a star.

Fair play tighty, I think the bet is more like 1/66 now the 66/1.

I've done a few since, up in the mid 80s


deep breath


New Darlington
New Shrewsbury (the original post was Old Shrewsbury!)
Dagenham and Redbridge
Morecambe
Yeovil
Doncaster
Blackpool (for this season)
New Hull (missed this season)
Wigan
New Arsenal

as you can see its a bit of a moving feast with new grounds cropping up and promotion/relegation in/out of conference

I have a friend trying to do the 93 but only watching Leicester, he's in the 60s
