And they beat the Palace kids 4 - 1 on Saturday
well, what's left of the Palace kids seeing as most of them are in their first team !!
i watched some of that game (my team play next door to palace's training ground & we were early at the ground!)
Looked a good game from what i could see over the fence!
[cite]Posted By: Amos on the wing[/cite]Palace had 5 teenagers involved in there cup game against Watford last week and 3 involved against Wolves on saturday.
Are they all under 18s though?
But yes point taken they have some youngsters out just like we have Wright out on loan
Looking forward to the game on wednesday. It's a shame that Josh Wright has gone back to Barnet as I have still not seen the kid play and I have heard nothing but positive reports from his loan spell at Barnet.
I seem to remember Mark Robson leading a charlton youth side to a 2 leg FA youth semi final agaisnt Man United and Lloyd Sam taking my eye as a player who would go on to make the first team. Or when Colin Clarke took a charlton youth team (Gordon Watson, Jason Lee, Scott Minto)to the FA Youth Cup final against Coventry in 87. We drew the first game 1-1 at Selhurst, but lost the 2nd leg.
Whatever happened to Colin Clarke? So many good players came though the ranks when he was youth team manager.
Not at the same time as Colin Clarke, AFKA. John Carwright took over as youth team coach from Colin Clarke in 1991/92. He joined the club at the same time when Curbs and Gritty took over as joint managers. He was only with us for 1 season (Neil Banfield took over and I believe he is now at Arsenal). John Cartwright left us for a job with the FA and he then ended up at Palace as youth coach when Venables was in charge during the Goldberg era.
If i remember correctly, Cartwright was one of the first 'result doesn't matter, its all about development' to be involved at that level. Big ethos on playing the game the right way, composed from the back etc.
Spot on AFKA. He was very much like that and was always of the opinion that youth football was about getting the players techinque right, not so much about results. Both Richard Rufus and Shaun Newton played under Cartwright. Even tho they were not in the youth team at the time of John Cartwright he still trained the likes of Lee Bowyer and Jamie Stuart as well.

Not just Colin Clarke Amos, remember we had a very well respected youth coach at the time (Cartwright?), think he went on to work with England youth.

Does anyone know if the car park is open to anyone?
cheers.
Oh, and they refer to us as their "local rivals". Says who?

Youth team have to park their (Baby) Bentley's somewhere......... :-)
I'll make a decision on the train home i think. £3 seems fair enough for a bit of banter and footy!
