I'm not sure how many if any have but I know the number would be no where near the amount from this area that made it to professionalism prior to putting all the most talented kids together in the same team and nothing else.
Dumbest move I have ever seen and Newcastle Football will pay for it for many years to come. Way to many former Jets youth players either not playing or just kicking around with mates in the lower leagues. There drive has always been to create an outstanding individual and the funny thing that outstanding kid more than likely would have been whether he was training on synthetic 5 times a week or kicking a ball around in his backyard at home and playing club football on the weekends.
