That Irish left back we had in about 2010? O'Connor or something like that? I think he had been in the Liverpool youth system, and he had one or two games where I remember he looked really promising. |
He was brilliant in the Leicester snow game! |  |

Billy Clarke.
But Dobs was the last straw, for me, in regards to relying on our academy to get us out of the doldrums. Went from possible Premiership move to Naional League freebie very quickly. |  | | |

Marcello Flores, still has plenty of time tbf as only 22 but plenty of hype when arsenal snapped him up, now playing in Mexico and pretty regularly by the looks of it but I'm not sure that what was envisaged when he left |  |

Was in the Mexico world cup squad until withdrawing through injury, so not doing too badly. |  |

Ben Knight, supposedly the best young player Klug saw but swallowed up in the Man City machine, finally seems to be starting to play and score regularly in L2 at 24. | | | |

Actually did well at Man City, highly rated until a series of injuries intervened, barely playing for 3-4 years as a result. Must have been mentally tough so good to see him having some success at Cambridge. | |

Charlie Brown another one poached from the academy...I thought the fee at the time was peanuts, but turned out to be a good bit of business  |  |

Teddy Bishop for me. He would glide past players for fun. | | | |

Neil Rimmer. Scored twice at home to Man City in the Duncan era, voted young player of the season, but let go cos if I remember correctly "too lightweight & short". How times change. |
Yeah I remember him. Got his autograph when he was getting off the team bus at one of either West Brom or Birm. | | | |

Canada World Cup squad, not Mexico, although he had won friendly caps with them previously. Suffering the injury literally the day after the squad had been confirmed. |  | | |

Tony Vaughan, the next Terry Butcher.
To be fair we got a decent price, but the delay in the tribunal cost us buying Kevin Phillips who went to Sunderland instead. David Johnson arrived a couple of months later.
TWTD (almost 30 years ago now...) |
That was going to be my suggestion, an all round disappointment with him leaving and us not getting KP over the line! |  | | |

A real shame for him and Canada, I think he'd have had something to offer that squad! |  | | |

6,599 league minutes
5 league goals and 7 assists. |
No way. That’s Bishop’s full appearances after he left us? Wow, that’s a real surprise. I obviously didn’t follow his progress, but I’d have put money on him carving out a solid Championship career.
Dean McDonald. Loads of hype moving from Arsenal. A few promising appearances and then disappeared into the ether. |  |

Cheers for that- remarkable, isn’t it? Don’t think I’ve ever seen a player so commonly used, complete so few full 90 minutes. | | | |

Carson was good but didn’t look like the right build. There was a full back called Seb Dunbar who always looked the part in academy games but he didn’t really make it which surprised me at the time. Hyam was around the same age group and by comparison I was amazed at the career he had as thought he was bang average all through the year groups. Shows what I know.
Slightly different but I thought Bowditch would play at a much higher level than he did. Matt Bloomfield had a very decent career but again I think he could have played higher. | | | |

Interesting you picked those two out, as Carson was dating Dunbar’s sister for a good wedge of his time here- anyone that ever saw Carson on an evening in Ipswich can probably understand why his career never took off… | | | |

Nabil Abidallah.
Maybe not, a classic case of someone living the highlife before they had hit the first team. |  |

Connor Wickham.... yes he did ok but when he was a youngster here i think we all thought he could be the next England no 9, never happened. I think it was partly as a 15/16 year old he was such a unit he was far more physical than others he age but of course they caught up and also injuries poor lad. |  | | |

Ben Morris. |
He was supremely talented as a youngster. Got some really unfortunate injuries and crucial times, and lacked physicality. Hell of a finisher though. |  | | |

Liam Trotter, Jaime Peters, Chris Casement, Ed Upson, Billy Clarke, Shane Supple, Dean Bowditch, even Owen Garvan- all youngsters that I thought would have much better careers with Ipswich than they turned out to have. |
Agreed - does show how we tend to over-rate our home grown products. |  |
