There ARE 'thousands' of quality players just playing Saturday (better quality) and Sunday football, that could make the grade, but for one reason or another, have not been seen/scouted etc;
It often boils down to who you know in football too!
So true...
I have thousands of examples in this too.
Xabi Alonso: Son of a classic, world class. Ok
Mikel Alonso: Son of a Classic, brother of a class, erm, crappy player. Thousands of players like him will never make it to the Real Sociedad first team. He has.
Amuchastegi: Could had been a Gerrard, but he didn't want to cut his hair in Real Sociedad youth systems and was put aside the team. Never took football seriously in Salamanca, and quited football. He ended up being tought maths in particular classes by me, instead of in ANoeta. Coach to blame: Carmelo Amas.
Good post LiverpoolAnytime, liked it.
