I'm talking about the youth team!

and the quality of players from Norfolk. The clue was in the title! :oP

I know Norfolk has produced some quality players but we have hardly set the world alight and have not produced them in great numbers. Does the 'steady stream' have enough quality to hack it in Championship or Premier league teams?
