Answer 1

Walcott was a southamton academy player justin hoyte or wilkshire or man u played eagles he's an academy player.

Answer 2

Im guessing possibly Arsenal with Walcott

teams that were in the top four during the season have and do (eg Man City), but they are hardly top four finishers

Answer 3

cant remember that far back plus you dont be a top 4 team and a rich one at that by playing academy players you go out and spend millions on overseas players

Answer 4

man u - eagles? fletcher?

arsenal - walcott? bentley?

liverpool - agger?

Answer 5

Gerrard and JC with Liverpool.

Also have Giggs and Scholes and Neville with United these are the last true academy players in the big teams.
