Youth Cup finals

[RedLars]

Been looking at previous youth cup finals since last time we won it, back in 96. In that final four of the players involved are likely to be going to Germany this summer, thought that was pretty impressive. Anyway, it's difficult to find any decent information about past finals (been looking at thefa.com). Does anyone know of any past (see list below) youth cup finalist to make it in the premier league?

 

 

1996 Liverpool 4-1 West Ham United

(Owen, Carragher, Thompson, Ferdinand, Lampard)

 

1997 Leeds United 3-1 Crystal Palace

(Woodgate, Robinson, Kewell)

 

1998 Everton 5-3 Blackburn Rovers

(Osman)

 

1999 West Ham United 9-0 Coventry City

(Cole, Carrick, Kirkland)

 

2000 Arsenal 5-1 Coventry City

 

2001 Arsenal 6-3 Blackburn Rovers

(Pennant)

 

2002 Aston Villa 4-2 Everton

(Rooney)

 

2003 Manchester United 3-1 Middlesbrough

2004 Middlesbrough 4-0 Aston Villa

(Luke Moore)

 

2005 Ipswich Town 3-2 Southampton

(Walcott?)

 

2006 Liverpool (3-0) Manchester City

Gary McSheffrey at Coventry was going to be a real superstar. I was certain - he's impressed me more than anyone at this level. But it's only this year that his club form is catching up very slightly on the hype.

Interesting to look at the two Arsenal squads of 1999/2000 and 2000/2001. Only one player has really made it and that is Pennent.

Volz, Sidwell and Thomas could be argued. Bothroyd at a stretch. Apparently Niccolo Galli was a cert for the first team but was killed in a car crash.

Sidwell's done very well and I expect him to be decent in th Premiership next season too.
