Dident realise that he joined our youth academy at 7 years old and was released at 14 seeemingly not good enough - joined southampton for £15 million - Must have played with Madison (same age) - The lads done well

Was in the same age group as Ryan Haynes, Jack Finch and Lawton. If I remember rightly that age group was considered very strong and there were one or two attacking players considered more advanced then him. Dropped down to non league, was still playing at Ilkeston at 18 and then got a big break at Sheffield United. Shows that there are some really talented players in non league.

It must be impossible to tell at times how good a player is going to be. Jamie Vardy is the perfect example of this. Some players you can tell 'have it' at a very young age and some like Adams are late developers.

People mature mentally at different times, too. Maybe having to go down into non-league was the making of him? Made him appreciate what he really wanted out of life?

In fairness kids are not always released for lack of ability reasons, attitude can and does come into it I’m not saying that was the case with Che Adams but looking at his route back into pro football it could have been. Academy managers managers have to assess if they can make professional footballers in what is probably the hardest dog eat dog industries I think Ian Wright for example admits was a bit of a knob head in his teens and didn’t get into the pro game until he was 22.

What surprises me is when some players drop out of the academy system how far they fall, years ago division one players would drop to division four now they seem to go right back into the non league.

The large foreign imports we now have push home ground players down the pyramid nowadays I suspect the non league clubs of today in the corresponding leagues are stronger than they were years ago. There’s a good living to be had today in the non league.

No doubt my nephew was in non league and now gone back to pro but the difference in money isn’t much. He knew a player in non league who was getting just under 2k week.
