potential famous players @ mill lane

[the future heads]

just going back to last seasons pre-season games against Newcastle & Leeds under 19's, does anyone know of the opposition line-ups?? (& even Middlesboro's in the season before, North Riding Cup, I'm sure alot will have played in the premiership this season) So we can keep a check on any future stars who develop. I know Newcastle's keeper was dutchman Tim Krul who plays for his national team, & a sub for Leeds was 15 year old Midfielder Michael Woods, who plays for England has recently signed for megabucks club Chelski!!!!

The pikes suffered narrow defeats in both games & all players did themselves proud!!

does the club statto or anyone else have this information??? i'd love to know, please help if you can.......... Allisdar maybe??!!

Im sure Morrison, Downing and Bates and a few others were in the Senior Cup final at Mill Lane a few years ago. Of couse lets not brag too much, Beckham and Scholes were at Selby for a pre-season friendly once.

Not forgetting the Newcastle supremo Glenn Roeder, who was the U19 manager at the time and was in the away away dugout for the game last year!
Other than that, I'm not too sure, Vern has the programme's for both games last year, I'll ask him to fish them out.
I'm sure the Keeper who played at the Middlesborogh game was the England U19 keeper back then, can't remember his name though, but he could go onto bigger things!

definatley get vern to dig it out & then list the squads on here, then alisdar can update the teams on the fixtures section for a permanent reference!!!

Don't know how amazing you'll find this but me and my old man saw the now Portsmouth and former Republic of Ireland, Charlton and initially YORK CITY keeper Dean Kiely playing for Bury against the Pikes at Mill Lane i think about 8 years ago... oh god that was about 8 years ago, where's my life gone???

Seemed to be a decent crowd last night with plenty of encouraging support, which included former champions league and treble winner Jonno Greening.

Famous enough! I think so!
