He did not go on to a good career from us as the OP states.The obvious one who hasn’t been mentioned yet is Joe Cole

Daniel sturridge. Played 3 years for our youth team apparantly and we got a fee from him.
Champions league. 2 x Fa Cups, and Premier league.
England caps
When it comes from youth team players.
Gordon Strachan won a lot and played 600+ games and helped Scotland make two world cup tournaments
Aberdeen Cup finals and European Super cup
FA Cup Manure
Leeds through the divisions as champions
Yup thats what i meant.Did we get a fee for him?
I thought we had a sell on clause but he went on a free?
There was another who left to Bolton not long after but his career didn’t reach the same heights.
Big Sam. 100% win record tooOnly one ex-Cov player has gone on to manage England
Loans dont countEasily Henderson. Has been massive for Liverpool winning the league and Europe.
Similar with England albeit without the trophies.
Same with Craig Bellamy. Didnt win alot, but played for some top teams in top flight for a long time.Robbie Keane went on to play for some big clubs after us.....Inter, Leeds, Liverpool, Spurs & Celtic.......
He didn't win many trophies but hes right up there in the top echelon of international strikers.....146 caps, 68 goals......thats impressive.
Could make a case for Cobi Jones under the same criteria.Robbie Keane went on to play for some big clubs after us.....Inter, Leeds, Liverpool, Spurs & Celtic.......

As in winning it? Rather unlikely, not many have even played in itHave any of our past players ever won a world cup medal?
Keane and Phil Babb have. Babb whilst he was with us.As in winning it? Rather unlikely, not many have even played in it

100% Correct on that assessment. Brilliant player. Would/Should have played for England but for the obsession with Colin BellDennis Mortimer was a Coventry City apprentice, first team regular for years, left for Villa, won a league cup, league title and the european cup and despite not being capped was a brilliant midfielder. He is my choice.
Would have kept us up if we bought him a few months earlier.John Hartson did well at Celtic
Cup winners cup, wasn’t it?Les sealy, after leaving us he won the FA cup, couple of Charity Shields and a European Cup. He also played in FA cup finals and league cup finals .
After us played for Man Utd, Villa an West ham aswell as being part of a really good Luton side.
Agree with all of that, and would add that Denis wasn't just a great player - he captained that Villa side to the league title and the European Cup.Dennis Mortimer was a Coventry City apprentice, first team regular for years, left for Villa, won a league cup, league title and the european cup and despite not being capped was a brilliant midfielder. He is my choice.
