    Brighton therefore have more than Real in the Spain squad.

    The golden Boot winner in Netherlands was for a side that got relegated.

    Aaron Ramsdale has won Player of the Season in each of his last 3 seasons at 3 separate clubs, 2 of which have been relegated from the Premier League, the other survived League One on goal difference.

    In fact, Ramsdale’s seasons in league football have gone: relegated, survived by goal difference, relegated, relegated.

    Wherever he plays next season, they must be worried about their league status!

    Could put him a relegation five aside team with Hreidarsson and Quashie the rate he's going, am sure there are others with just as bad relegation records

    Nathan Blake with 5 relegations along with Hreidarsson are the record holders for the premier league.

    HOW!! 
    By being 17 and playing at the Euros before any other 17 year old did?

    Why does this not sound true? It's not as if many 17 year olds play for their country, never mind play in a major tournament.

    Would have expected someone like Cristiano Ronaldo or even Wayne Rooney to have played at 17

    I suppose its not just the age of the superstar but the fact that the Euros come round every four years so for the likes of Rooney it probably would have been difficult to appear at a Euros when they were 17, if there wasnt one that year.

    Exactly Rooney was 18 when he ripped it up.

    Wasn't Bale's the first that hadn't hit the keeper or wood work though?
