Who is the giant?

Showing my ignorance here, but who is Cam?

Cameron Archer. One of my former pupils who started playing for my school team when he was in Reception.

In Reception? Wow!

[Legion]

Yes. He was (and is) that good. I first brought him on as a sub in a 'B' team game for 10-11 year olds. Everyone did the 'Oh, how cute' bit. About 30 seconds later after he had taken the ball round most of their players and unleashed a fierce shot which cannoned back off the inside of the post you could have heard a pin drop.

Congratulations Cam. Hope he goes on to great things.

That's great news Leeg. I will keep looking out for him. If he fulfills half of the potential he has shown through the youth ranks so far Villa could have a real star in the making. Well done Cam.

The giant, BTW is David Hughes, academy coach.

[Chinchilla Bathhouse]

Is that the David Hughes who used to play for us? Made his debut against Liverpool I think - one nil win (Ian Taylor).

Bloody Hell, I'd forgotten about him.
