Is that the lad we got from Oldham, Pete? Me arl fella always talks about what a future he had.
My picks, for those who didn't make it include - Ritchie Partridge, Lee Jones and though not through our youth system, we did buy him at 20 - Chrissy Kirkland. The hype surrounding the young keeper when we got him and then he turned out to be a bit of a let down (injuries didn't help of course)
For those who did make it, Fowler end of. To have 10 goals (including two hat tricks) in your first ten games is exceptional. Follow that with three consecutive years of scoring 30 plus goals by the age of 22. The fastest hat-trick in history at the age of 19. I'm not gonna lie, I am biased towards Robbie for a number of reasons. But what that fella done at a young age was, for me, the greatest young 'un in our history.
If that injury against Everton, of all F***ing cu*ts, in 98 hadn't happened then I reckon he'd of been our all time top goalscorer (eventually)
