Something Special about Stockport?

[jimharri]

Arguably the Top 3 youngsters in the Premier League at the moment were born and raised in Stockport.

Foden, Palmer and Mainoo. All Stockport lads.

Surely this can't just be a coincidence?

Geography not your strong point, I take it?

 

[jimharri]

Bellingham is definitely from Stockport.

That could very well be possible.

Palmer is from Wythenshawe not Stockport

And how does Mainoo get into the top three youngsters. I'd have Bobb ahead of him every day of an eight-day week!

Oslo is a long way from Stockport!

Palmers wasn’t born in Stockport, but I think he was brought up in Gatley.

I think one of the main reasons for the high number of top players is that there are still a large number of kids football teams and amueter teams. A lot of places in say Manchester have lost that.

I also think having areas which are pretty working class (lots of those in Stockport) often helps to produce players like foden or palmer.

Palmer played for a Junior Football team in Gatley

The emphasis, jim, is on the youngsters, not the once delightful but wholly within Cheshire urban district of Stockport.

 

[Kippaxpete]

The very definition of a pointless thread, predicated on inaccurate information. Remind me, when does the season start?

 

[dronefromsector7G]

No

Stockport was definitely referred to as a common factor.

Having spent virtually the entirety of my life in the County Borough (since 1974 Metropolitan District), my confidence is firmly in the prevailing moderation to ensure any derogatory comments about this still delightful place will be immediately vapourised.

Bellingham is definitely from Stockport.

According to most presenters on Talk Sport, Jude Bellinum is from Birminum

 

[MCFC Wirral]

I’m assuming we’re Stockport City as opposed to Oldham or somewhere because Mancs have migrated out. No different to West Ham in Essex etc.

He shagged one of the four sisters

 

[johnny crossan]

According to most presenters on Talk Sport, Jude Bellinum is from Birminum

I have it on authority that Jude's mum was visiting Cole's caravan having her tea leaves examined at a significant time.

Special is the correct word for Stockport.
