Does anyone know what happened to a few of Spurs youth players that briefly broke into the team, & what they went on to achieve in there careers, who they played for ect.

Steve Slade - I think he briefly went to QPR then disappeared

Paul McVeigh - Last I heard he was playing for Norwich

Garry Brady - I remember thinking he was gonna be a good lad for the team, then he got signed by Newcastle, I think he went on to play in the SPL, but am not sure who he played for.

Rory Allen is now forging a career as a civil servant at the Foreign Office in London. Before that he played for Portsmouth. He retired at 25 due to injury

Neale Fenn retired from Dundalk and then 2 days later signed for Shamrock Rovers for nothing. Joker. This only happened about a month ago so he is still playing.

I am pretty sure Rory Allen quit football to become a member of the barmy army and followed them around the world for a while. Maybe the injury also had something to do with it.

He went down for the Ashes in 2006, while recovering from more surgery, something like 20 surgeries to legs and ankles....

Rory Allen was a talent, he seemed a really clever little player. Big shame. I remember his goal v Newcastle to this day.

:rofl:. You're only 18 now sunshine not exactly SS57's age. Blondel went back to Belgium and turned into quite a player I heard. Dilvelski you should know more about than me as he went back to OZ. Alton was last seen playing for Orient

Who remembers the almost, but not quite, signed Qu Bo?

Yeah I wonder what happened to him. Wasn't he gonna sign at the same time as Postiga was or have I got my dates wrong?
