Quote: Bethman "Don't know the criteria but not included on the wigan list were Kavanagh, Howarth, Vievers, Johnson, Mellor, King and Burke.'"
Odd to miss them out, they all came through our academy, and all have played at least one game for a SL club.
That's not meant as bragging about how good our academy is, more for casting doubts on the accuracy of the figures - other clubs might well have similar omissions.
It does highlight one of the problems of our game in general, though...just half a dozen clubs producing a decent number of players, and the rest living off their cast-offs.
