Right, so I was watching the Chelsea youth cup game against Barnsley and they mentioned that since 92 they'd had 35 players go onto pro careers-or at least made pro appearences, if only for us.

I've managed to work out in that same period we've had 27.

have I forgotten anyone? Can we count Chris Eagles? And when did Dave Holdsworth make his debut?
