Far too long ago. Are you going to claim Justin Fashanu next?

However, pedantics aside the issue is that in the 15 years circa 2000 - 2015 (i.e between Bellamy and the Murphy Bros / Toffolo) we have produced very little of our own talent that actually made a proper success of the professional game (Ryan Jarvis....hmm). 82nd out of 92 sounds sadly correct. Footballers have to come through somewhere.
