Maybe his dad is a big Spandau Ballet fan?

Not Hugh Grant at least

 

[cleavers]

True Grant? What a name

Just why would you call a kid that ?

That gallery! Is Marwood tiny or are they all huge!?

They're all stood on a chair !

Brilliant, even my missus pissed her sides looking at that.

I preferred the original with John Wayne.
I'm sure that was his only Oscar.

Don’t talk Grit! ;-)

Not many normal names in that list, is there?

Yes.

In fact his younger brother Reigan joined in 2016 at U9 level apparently but I'm not sure if he's still there.

Thanks for the info, good to see ex-pros rating our academy.

Does anyone know if Freddie Anderson is still here?

Does anyone know if Freddie Anderson is still here?

I had to Google him as I didn't know the name.

From Nov 20, 2018, https://www.express.co.uk/sport/foo...nds-sending-kids-Manchester-City-Viv-Anderson

"Viv Anderson, who was Sir Alex Ferguson’s first signing in 1987 and played for the Red Devils until 1991, first enrolled his 11-year-old son Freddy into the Manchester City academy at the age of six."

So he'd be about 14 I'd guess? That would be hard to confirm given his age.

My favourite is Wellity Lucky. He must be a centre back. His first name is a great anagram of his skill set.

Lakyle Samuel is the late J’Lloyd Samuel’s son and True Grant is former Man United 3rd choice keeper Lee Grant’s son.

No idea if there are any others in that list that are the offspring of ex pros.

Alfie Harrison with a hattrick against Blackburn in the u18s match. Other scores were Ogwuru and Ndala to mark it 5-0 to City.

Seems to have a thing for Blackburn :)



"FULL-TIME | Manchester City U17s 6-0 Blackburn Rovers U17s. An Alfie Harrison hat-trick alongside a double from Michael Okeke and one from Justin Oboavwoduo seal our first three points in Group G of the U17s Premier League Cup. "
