I don't know if this has been posted before (i can't spot it) but I saw this posted on the Sunderland forum. A good article about Boro's recruitment of academy players from the playing fields of London
The north-east was once England's talent hotbed. Now, London is the rich recruiting ground
Middlesbrough have taken 14 young players from London into their academy system, part of a strategy to compete in a crowded market
