Looking for assistance from the few older 606ers on here, has there ever been a period in our recent history when we had the same amount or similar of Local boys playing for us, my memory is fading, old timers setting in, but sure their are others with a better memory than mine, obviously if you go back too far they would probably be all locals, I realise that the development academy is a fairly recent thing too but have been wondering for a while, would like to recall local boys who played for Spurs.

Perryman, Hoddle, Campbell, King I think were all with us at youth level.

Ray Evans, John Pratt, Barry Daines, Jimmy Neighbour, Jimmy Pearce, Phil Beale,Steve Perryman, these are a few I remember from the late 60's & 70's era.

In our current team I can only think of Kane, Townsend and Carroll who actually came through our youth system. The rest were bought young and developed.

Hoddle joined the club way back in the early 70's as a schoolboy apprentice, never played for Watford.
Made his debut aged 17!!
