I think you mean took part in the game...sheff went off for Elliott

 

[SkyBlueChris]

Sheffers was subbed!

 

[Swanny80]

Stand corrected. . .

Even so I think that's great

 

[You'll Never Beat McPake]

I am sure that home grown players add to the passion of the team wanting to win.

 

[Swanny80]

5 in the squad today

I'm proud of that. . .

I'm not commenting on how good each are but I'm proud

I think I recall a game in the 80's when only 2 of the starting line up where not home produced players. Can't remember the exact game but some clever person will no doubt. Not saying that they were all Cov kids but from our youth team. That made me proud.l

 

[deanocity3]

yes I'll tell you in a mo,think the two players we bought were Steve Hunt and Gerry Daly.

tottenham away 1980-81 sealey,coop,roberts,gooding,dyson,gillespie,bodak,blair,thompson,bannister,hunt. sub was english.only Gillespie and hunt were bought.Blair was the only local lad from Beduff but was born in Scotland.
Replace Coop for Danny Thomas who was injured and the average age would have been 20.
by the way we lost 4-1

also in the squad were whitton hateley jacobs butterworth and fergie was still there also all home grown

 

[Tonylinc]

On a side note; will always remember coop putting crosses in for Fergie during pre match warm ups; he always put them on to his head from no matter what direction. What would a player such as him be worth today?

 

[deanocity3]

perhaps Leon Clarke should a frizzy perm like fergie

 

[ccrproductions]

winnings all that matters be they 11 from cov or 11 from abroad.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Callum Wilson is a cov kid as well
