Ung spiller: Harry Gray

[Asbjørn]

Det har blitt postet en del om Harry allerede i Archie Gray-tråden.
Når han nå har tatt steget opp blant seniorene er det nok på tide at han får sin egen tråd.

I går spilte han sin første offentlige kamp sammen med seniorene i en pre seasonkamp. I forrige uke fikk han ti minutter mot Skuravys Lincoln men det var behind closed doors.

Født 8.oktober 2008 er han fortsatt bare femten år. Men det er allerede klart at han ikke kan ta Peter Lorimers rekord som yngste Leedsspiller noensinne. I seriepremieren vil han allerede være eldre enn Peter var den gang.

La oss forresten ta med slektstreet her også



Manager Farke prøvde etter pre seasonkampen mot Harrogate å dempe forventningene for denne sesongen...

Manager Daniel Farke made it clear that although he has high hopes for the young midfielder, he won't be rushing him into the first team just yet. At such a young age, Farke prefers to gradually introduce him into the picture, although he hasn't ruled out the odd squad role over the coming campaign.

"He is a 15-year-old lad and obviously we have to be a bit careful," Farke said. "He is a guy with lots of talent, I don't like to praise young lads too much and put them in the spotlight. But today was a good scenario and chance to give him an appetiser for first team football, but we can't expect to see him pretty, pretty soon right now.

"He's full of potential, here and there he will get a chance to smell a bit how it is with the first team, but we will stay patient and won't put too much load on his small shoulders.

"We have to work with him, but he also earned it with good performances at youth level. It was great for him more or less in his home stadium in the first public game for us."

Harry Gray the younger brother of Archie, has been around the Thorp Arch academy for near 8 years,despite the fact he won't be 16 until later this year.
Harry is a completely different player to Archie,he is a #goalscorer,the fox in the box, but there is so much more to Harry's game,he has terrific pace,awareness excellent movement,and a desire and love to always want to be on the scoresheet.
Surprisingly back in 2015,when the names of Archie and Harry Gray were becoming known throughout the circles of football,both were frequent visitors to Manchester Citys academy.City were very keen on both boys back then in the Spring of that year,and it's a great piece of luck that both boys decided then that their futures were inside Thorp Arch,and with  the excellent coaching personalities at Leeds United,notably names like Andy Wood who has been there close to 25 years.
Harry is a personality,has that belief,confidence,to always back himself to score Goals.
Within the confines of Thorp Arch there is a strong opinion that Harry Gray is the best goalscoring Academy/Youth product at Leeds United since Peter Lorimers days in the 60s and 70s.
And what a great career Lash had in a Leeds shirt.

Endelig livstegn fra Harry

Han postet dette bildet på instagram

Det er egentlig alt vi vet. Men vi vet også at Farke opprinnelig anslo midten av januar som returdato, og det nærmer seg jo...

Some good news this morning. Harry Gray is back in training at Leeds Academy. Missed a big chunk of the season, but great to hear he's back with the underage sides.

Leeds United teenager Harry Gray celebrated his comeback from injury with a victory for the Whites' Under-21 side over the weekend.
Leeds' youngsters ran out 3-1 winners over Everton in Premier League 2 to put an end to a tricky run of form. Goals from Rhys Chadwick (2) and Cian Coleman ensured of victory at the Big Help Stadium in Southport as Leeds, decked out in all yellow, made sure of all three points.

Harry, younger brother of Tottenham Hotspur and England U21 midfielder Archie Gray, was a second half substitute making his comeback after a lengthy injury lay-off and played 30 minutes for Scott Gardner's side.

Gray had been involved with the Whites' senior setup during pre-season but injury curtailed his experiences with Daniel Farke's main group.

"First game back after 7 months out. Nice W", the 16-year-old said on social media after Leeds' win against Everton.

An attacker with an impressive goals tally at various younger age groups for Leeds, Gray scored eight times in the U18 Premier League last season, whilst still only 15 years old.

His development is expected to continue in the U21 setup this season.

Archie var vel like gammel da han var ute nesten 1 år da vi var i PL?
Håper Harry får trent og spilt så mye fotball som mulig denne vinteren og våren. Kanskje med en opptreden på benken til senior ila årets siste kamper.
Har han toppidrettshodet til storebror så blir jeg ikke overrasket om han spiller fotball på høyeste nivå han her og.
Virker som den attributten som  kanskje er den mest etterspurte for toppklubbene idag.

Måtte sjekke. Omtrent samme alder ja. Men Archie var 16 år og 4-5 mnd da han skadet seg i pre season mens Harry var 15 år og 10 mnd isj. Archie gikk i bunn og grunn glipp av 12 mnd mens Harry nå vel er tilbake etter 7.

Var det den McGinn-taklingen?

Var det den McGinn-taklingen?

Jepp. Men så, godt utpå høsten knakk han en tå hjemme på stuegulvet. Så han var ikke i opptrening igjen før sesongen var bortimot over så han fikk ikke kamper før i neste pre season...

Velkjente David Watkins:
They all told us that #lufc Harry Gray would be a better player than Archie! Well, the momentum that Harry has is starting to build quickly now. England Under 17 call up, Leeds U21s and scoring goals straight away! What a prospect he looks!
https://x.com/davelufcwatkins/status/1891098939505484232?s=61

Fra feeden:
People have been expecting this lad to become a generational talent since he was about 10. Most of the big clubs in Europe know all about him.

[Asbjørn]

Då e Harry offisielt en England U17-spiller.

16-year-old Harry Gray since returning from injury in January 2025:

⚽ v Birmingham City (Premier League Cup)
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 First call up to England's U17s squad
⚽⚽ v Derby County Under-21s (Premier League 2)
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Made his England U17s debut v Netherlands

Brilliant to see the supremely talented teenager flying for club and country after seven months out.

Harry scored his first Leeds Under-21s goal, netted a PL2 brace and made a winning England Under-17s debut.

Får vi se Harry Gray i kamptroppen før sesongen er ferdig tro? Hvis vi skulle være sikret et opprykk foran siste kampen på Elland Road, synes jeg det hadde vært en fin gest å hatt ham i troppen og latt ham få debuten sin foran et fullsatt Elland Road. Blir spennende å følge karrieren hans. Utlån i L1 når vi rykker opp til Premier Leauge?

Beren Cross tar for seg Harry Gray.

The former Leeds, Spurs and England winger Aaron Lennon was a part of the club's under-18 coaching staff last season. In October, Lennon told UK radio station talkSPORT of Gray: "He is ridiculous. He's frightening. He's a No 10, No 9. I don't want to talk about him too much because I think everyone will want him, he's that good. He's probably the best I've seen in years."

Lennon has played with the likes of Jermain Defoe, Robbie Keane, Gareth Bale and Dimitar Berbatov, yet Arnott recalls: "I remember Aaron coming in from doing some finishing with him and he was just shaking his head, laughing, saying, 'He finishes off his left foot as good as any senior pro I've seen'."


....

Multiple sources, who like others in this article spoke under the condition of anonymity to protect relationships, said Archie, as good as he was, would be described as "Harry's brother" as he rose through the age groups at Leeds, despite being the older sibling.

Veldig, veldig spennende all praten rundt Harry Gray. Håper og tror vi får se han i kamptropp i løpet av våren.
