Privately-educated Premiership footballers

Chizz

There are many - possibly a majority, at some clubs - privately-educated players in rugby and cricket. But far fewer footballers (in percentage and actual terms) have come from "Public Schools".

Frank Lampard went to Brentwood
Diego Poyet - Eltham College
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - St John's
Victor Moses - Whitgift

Anyone else..?

Swisdom

Harry Kane maybe

Raheem Sterling.

Raheem Sterling.

No, he went to a comprehensive in Brent

Jarman

With a name like Ward-Prowse you'd hazard a guess that he can be added to that list.

Don't think it was a private school, CofE I think. Closed down in the last couple of years.

No, he went to Oaklands Catholic School, which is state-funded.

Voluntary Aided. Shithole as well. Ferdinand was a first year when I left I think. It most definitely was not a public school...

I wish you hadn't gone to your mums for dinner the other night. You've really changed since then.

I believe that Lawrie Wilson went to Millfield.

No. He went to St Andrew's High, a comprehensive in North Lanarkshire.

Edit: and isn't a Premiership footballer.

Did he realise that the "High" bit meant it was a senior school, not the condition you had to be in to attend?

If double barrel surnames are the mark of middle classness then we must have been scouting private school teams heavily in recent years !
