Det gror godt på Akademiet

[Lundewhites]

Det endte 0-0 etter at Leeds var klart best i andre omgang og burde ha scoret på et par gedigne sjanser.

De kalde fakta sier altså 16.plass mht akademispillere med PL-minutter forrige sesong...

Andre statistikker gir oss andreplass (bare bak Southampton)

Statistically 2nd best in the country at producing PL players.
We do, apart from one other. 
 
Its a category 2 academy at a club that hasn’t played in the premier league for a decade and a half. The output is phenomenal. It’s a real testament to the infrastructure, player development strategy and coaches that work their. We won’t produce the real stand out players on a greater scale until we are established in the premier league and have category one status. The very top players go elsewhere at school age. We have seen this to our cost.

Halvnorske Spencer fortsetter å score for U16-laget...



Leeds’s Morten Spencer reacts on Twitter after latest brace



By  Jordan Harris
Published on September 23, 2019



Leeds United starlet Morten Spencer took to Twitter to express his delight after helping the club’s under-16s to a 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest on Saturday, with the summer signing bagging two goals.
Spencer is one of the many academy prospects that the Elland Road faithful appear to be keeping a close eye on. He arrived earlier in the year and was immediately earmarked as a talent the Whites could be excited about.

The Sun had reported in February that Manchester City had been closing in on a deal for the midfielder, who had been in Sunderland’s ranks. Around a month later however, he was joining Leeds from the Black Cats.
And the 15-year-old is continuing to make a big impression for the Championship leaders. The teenager scored twice at the weekend as Leeds’s youngsters claimed a win over Forest.

And after the win away from home, Spencer took to social media to comment on the victory and his brace…

Very good 3-1 win v Nottingham forest yesterday, good to get 2 goals! @leedsutdacademy @LUFC

It is likely to be some time before Spencer is really emerging onto Marcelo Bielsa’s radar. But his progress certainly suggests that Leeds produced a coup getting him from Sunderland, especially with Manchester City reportedly lurking.

He may well be targeting a regular spot with the under-18s before too long. And perhaps he should also set his sights on getting a chance with Carlos Corberan’s under-23s at some stage in the future.

I en Daily Mail-reportasje om Eddie nevnes det at 'the Gray grandsons' (antar da det menes Eddie og Frank) i øyeblikket er representert med 4 stk i Leeds' akademi: Archie (15), Harry (12), Jacob (10) og Charlie (10), antagelig med Gray som etternavn.
Eddie alene har 17 barnebarn (og seks barn).

Morsomt å lese at Eddies sønn Stuart (må ikke forveksles med mer kjente navnebror med noen sesonger i Villa) spilte sin far i The Damned United. Grei karriere selv, med spill i familiens favorittklubb Celtic, og Reading i England, som back.
