Looking at who's been at Town either permanently or on loan in recent memory there's the potential to see a lot of ex Town players playing their trade in the top flight of English football. So far I can think of

Ryan Bennett: Recently signed for Leicester

Dean Henderson: I know only a short term loan but has since played last season for Sheff Utd.

Siriki Dembele: Linked with West Brom and Sheff Utd.

Pollock: Apparent interest from several prem teams.

Benson/Glennon: Did they get named on the bench at all after going back to Burnley?

Nice mix of our own lads and loanees going onto bigger and better things. Think we could see more happening going forward?

When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Conor Townsend, West Brom


The best outfield player to play for the club since we dropped out of the second tier. If that sounds mad, name me a better one.

His contribution to our promotion season is often underestimated as he wasn’t here for its culmination, but I am absolutely adamant that we wouldn’t have been promoted without him. Seriously, you only have to look at the stats; without the uptick in form during his spell that season we wouldn’t have made the playoffs.

The rest is history.

My judgement may be blurred by recent history but I thought Glennon was a better defender. Townsend was better going forward though in my opinion.

Agreed. The only time we strung a decent run of good results together was during his loan.

At a stretch, you could add Raheem Sterling.  He played at BP for England under 16s (?).  I hope that this experience did not contribute to him missing that open goal last week.
