stu2910 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 (edited) Stolen from the Championship forum - what kind of team can you build from your club's academy graduates? The player can have started somewhere else as long as they spent time in your youth team before playing for the first team and they must still be playing now. For Dundee, it probably highlights both how bad we've been at this over the years and how much we're improving: Harry Sharp (Dundee) Cammy Kerr (Queen's Park) Kerr Waddell (Montrose) Luke Graham (Dundee) Craig Forsyth (Derby County) Finlay Robertson (Dundee) Kevin McDonald (Bradford City) Josh Mulligan (Dundee) Lyall Cameron (Dundee) Max Anderson (Crawley Town) Jamie Richardson (Dundee) Think beyond that I'm struggling to even name a player that's playing senior football, bar Kyle Gourlay at Kelty.

DukDukGoose Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 (edited) Scott Bain Calvin Ramsay Ryan Porteous Scott McKenna Jack MacKenzie Ryan Jack Kenny McLean Ryan Fraser Scott Wright Ryan Duncan Lawrence Shankland Depends how loose you are with youth football? Porteous and McLean were both with us as teens before moving to Hibs and Rangers respectively. There's a few others who went on to have good careers (Stephen O'Donnell, Mikey Devlin, Fraser Fyvie) as well.

Both probably debatable enough that you can claim them, maybe depends whether they were released or chose to leave as if they were released they didn't exactly "graduate". On a side note, I'd fancy that team to put in a more than decent title challenge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a few others who went on to have good careers (Stephen O'Donnell, Mikey Devlin, Fraser Fyvie) as well. I had 7 of these jotted down: I had Michael Rose at CB. He's had a decent career down south, but if Porteous counts he's by far the better player. Ditto Kenny McLean over Connor Barron. I had Lewis Ferguson rather than Ryan Duncan. I think he was signed for the youth team but ended up going straight into the first team, so a pretty dubious shout, although Shankland was a similar signing. He just never broke through, of course. Bruce Anderson and Alfie Bavidge the mostly likely forwards if you set him aside? Jack Grimmer has also had a decent career - but Ramsay far more talented. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note, I'd fancy that team to put in a more than decent title challenge. Very debatable but both have mentioned their time with the youth setup which is why I chanced my luck. Both chose their boyhood team over us though, certainly McLean was one the club felt got away. 1 minute ago, Ampersand said: I had 7 of these jotted down: I had Michael Rose at CB.

Yeah I had Rose but other two have to go ahead of him after becoming Scotland squad mainstays. Felt similar on Barron. It would have been Anderson if not for Shankland but he definitely started in the youth setup. Not too sure on Ferguon as they immediately hyped him up on RedTV during the first week of pre-season. Grimmer and O'Donnell are both really good shouts for right back but the fact we sold Ramsay for really good money puts him in there. Hurts putting in Scott Bain but Archie Mair is the only other keeper I can think of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
