I'll get my Daughter to ask him as she's in his class at School. They moved to Rugby last year.

All the money he earned playing football and he decided to live in Rugby

I await next season - some of our fans will be demanding why Robins isn't playing him. "Waste of time if he can't make the first team."

If he's good enough, he's old enough. If he's a 12st 6-footer, stick him up front with Vik

One of my sons mates saw his car in Dunchurch Sainsbury’s , so now I know why he was there….either that or he liked the selection of TU clothing.

House in Rugby, shopping at Dunchurch Sainsbury's? He really is living the dream.

I suspect you may have lived that dream too.
I once did…..great days

Reading about this in the telegraph and they make a big mention about his dad's career stats. Its not a racehorse situation footballing skill is not quite that hereditary!

Good luck to the lad could be the next Wilson who knows!

I think the big differentiator is that a successful footballing dad (especially with an international career) is generally likely to put a lot of work and effort into their child's early training and keep them at it.
A number of examples are Tony Hateley, Frank Lampard, Peter Schmeichel, Ian Wright, Patrick Kliuvert, Andy Cole, and Des Walker (which won't be a very popular example)

Had a mate called Darren Bentson at school, he was one of those kids that was massive and had loads of body hair. I remember one day, during the winter we were having a snowball war one lunchtime, i packed a beauty - squeezed it so tight it was practically an ice ball, found my target (darren was massive) threw it with all my might and the bullet hit him directly in the middle of his chest. The school had to call an ambulance as he couldn't breathe from the impact. Snowball wars were cancelled and i lost all my friends. Fuckin Darren Bentson.

I completely agree the parents passion for the sport will ensure if the child has ability it will be nurtured. I was more saying that the telegraph article was written like he might be a good signing as his dad was a decent player. It could well turn out that way but there are not that many footballing dynasties as it's only the top 1%, if that, who make it to the top of the game.

Have you tried to prove a link with 7 players?

Bilton Grange? - not cheap

Mild-Mannered Janitor · May 12, 2022

He has two other boys, signing them in a few years, they are in the nursery with my grandson

No, just 7 examples. CCFC1234 makes the point much better than I have. It's human nature for a parent to want their child to excel if they have an ability. It's effectively private coaching from a top professional, it gives any child a massive advantage to maximise any potential they have.

I've always said, if you're old enough, you're good enough.

Considering becoming a pro footballer is one in a million in the first place, that’s actually a pretty good argument.

The fathers name will also open doors look at the Beckham family they kept getting academy gigs when they were obviously not good enough.

Darren Bents son - sounds like a fanzine

stupot07 · May 14, 2022

From what I hear he has definitely been signed due to who is dad is, he's the weakest of the group by far.

This must be a record for the youngest player to have been written off on here.

Thats a huge geberalisation, If that was the case English football would be dominated by ex professionals sons, rather than it be the exception as it is.

Where did I write him off? Just said that he was the weakest player there. The likelihood of making is as a professional footballer is miniscule.
