It's incredible to think that 2 years ago Rickie Lambert was a goat herder and Jamie Vardy was unable to get into his school team. You couldn't make it up.

Make them watch every game from start to finish of the last 5 and a bit seasons on a repeat loop.

Grant Holt wasn't even born until the age of 23.

We're all making jokey suggestions and then there's always one sick person who just has to take it too far. Shame on you!

That's just made me laugh out loud (or is it pmsl, I forget which). Lovely stuff.

Just because a player can't make the first team doesn't make them shit. Someone mentioned Jordan Graham earlier I think. He's done well for Wolves but didn't get a sniff of our first team.

Sometimes it might need a change of scenery for a player to kick on.

Dado Pršo was a car mechanic and playing in French amateur leagues, he was 25yrs old when Tigana (Monaco coach) saw him play by accident.

OGS was playing for no name 3rd division Norwegian club until he was 22 when Molde took a chance on him. Another player that football should have given up on because hadn't made it at 21.
