The days of unearthing gems are long gone for most smaller clubs . I’ve found it incredible how many people I know with kids have them signed on or training with clubs .It’s this scattergun approach by bigger clubs that is skilling the chance for the Iron to unearth someone . It’s sad for the kids too as they have little chance of signing terms for these clubs and then leave football disillusioned when maybe they could have had careers lower down. When we left School two lads went to SUFC ,one made the 1st team. Now it seems all kids are at clubs
