Sure I heard Mike Ratu of Leeds saying he was with the Wigan Academy for a while before moving on.

I thought that, but I also knew maybe I was biased at the time.
Not the only to slip throught the net, go back to 95 ish when we signed a lad called Stuart Fisher and turned down Paul Deacon!!
Deacs got some stick at college for being an "Oldham" player from lots of our academy at the time. Good to know 14 years on he made his rugby do the talking

This thread has got me thinking about names and faces from when i used to watch academy games.
What ever happened to Darryl Cardiss? David Whittle? Michael Whitehead? just to name a few that have popped in my head in the last 10 mins.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

He was on a Wigan scholarship but moved to Leeds academy when he was 15 / 16. |

Certainly some good players on that list,
No surprises on how good Briscoe has been for us this year, think most knew his quality and was unfortunate with your lot to be stuck behind Radlinski. Not sure on why FC released him and their fans still say that was the worst decision there club has made on retention in recent years.
The big surprise for me was how good Colburn has been for us, I wasn't particualary inspired when I heard he was coming but he has been absolute top drawer. Maybe not the fastest in terms of a winger but is the hardest runner and driver of a ball in our team. Constantly makes 10 -15 yards from his own line and supports well. Would be really disappointed if we lost him for any reason.

Gareth Dean used to play for Celtic, I'm sure he was in our academy/reserves. Dean Gaskell - Widnes, How about John Whittle? Where did he end up?
