Just had a thought, seeing the thread about Dozzell Snr making his debut and then going back to school on Monday - which one of the Ipswich schools has provided the most players?
The only ones I know for sure are:
Dozzell x2, Bonne: Chantry
Dyer: Westbourne
Richard Wright: Thurleston
Suspect a fair few from the 70s and early would have gone to Northgate or the old Landseer School. |  | | |  |

Liam Trotter went to Northgate as well as Hyam I think. |
Bailey Clements too I believe |  |

Nobody from Stoke High? Mich D’avray did come to visit us around 1986. |  |

Wasn't there a lad in 80s that didn't make it at Ipswich but did have a pro career else where Bobby someone?
Where did David Barnes go to school? Wasn't he an Ipswich boy? |  |

Andy Crane, left back. Started at Town and then played for Shrewsbury?? Thurleston I think. |  | | |

From Felixstowe, as was Kevin Steggles, I think. |  | | |

He was a schoolboy but not a youth team member. |
Slightly splitting hairs but fair enough! I meant he'd played for the club at some level, whether he ever made a South East Counties League appearance I'm not sure. If I remember rightly he was let go at 16. | | | |

Pretty sure Louie Donowa was Thurleston, as was Ruel Fox, who was very much one who got away.
Andre Dozzell was Copleston if I am not mistaken.
Luke Hyam - Northgate.
Jordan Rhodes - Kesgrave.
My bro-in-law had a 16 year career at Conference / L2 level, he was St Jo's. |
Thurleston, where legends are made.
What a place that was, knocked it all down now! |  |

Me included.
There was lad in the year above us who went to WBA on YTS terms but I don't think got any further than that.
Also a lad a couple of years below me in my brother's year who was at ITFC as a YTS (or whatever it was in the mid-90s) who played locally.
Also think this thread is forgetting the Brambles who I think were Holywells. |  |

Great stuff. A lad in my year who is now a very good player locally - think for Stowmarket - was with Town in his youth and played against JET when he was at Arsenal and Jonjo Shelvey when at Charlton.
Are you a Crofts/Whitton lad ITFC? | |

He had the last laugh, that's for sure. Would've had England caps if not for injury. | | | |

Probably. By coincidence, a lad that I was in seminar groups with at university in Hull had played alongside Richard in the youths and reserves at Scunthorpe and gave him a lift to training every day for a while. He also had a spell at Hull and told me that in around 1990 the win bonus for Hull's reserves was £5. | | | |

Yeah, but in those days, that would have got you a 3 bed semi in Hull... |  |

Yep, two minutes walk from the MOTM, or at least I was.
Still live in Ipswich, but IP2 now. | |

Slightly off topic but Tyler French of Wrexham went to my alma mater, Sudbury Upper, and had a trial for Town. |  |

Don't know why I though Wickham went to Kesgrave, must have been thrown in with Rhodes due to timescales and putting two and two together and making 436.
Seems to be a pastime of mine...
If I remember rightly, were you not the same vintage as Hall? |
More like Captain Oates innit |  |

In my youth I played with and against both Dozzell Snr and Ruel and I can say ,Ruel used to run rings around us
I used to play for South Suffolk with Jason and bizarrely Ruel didn’t even make the grade
He was a stunning lad back then |  |
