Don't know if it's been posted on here before, but just found a youtube video from 2007 of a young Declan John showing off his skills. Anyone reckon this got shown to Mark Allen back when we were scouting him?
Guy I play football with went to school with him so played on the same school team. Said he used to take corners and just whip them into the top corner scoring all the time.Don't know if it's been posted on here before, but just found a youtube video from 2007 of a young Declan John showing off his skills.

When I was a boy, not so long ago in the 1980s, those keepie uppie skills would've been most definitely average for a ten year old in my school. Again, not that such skills mark out a potential player.When I was a boy in Glasgow those keepie up skills would have been considered unremarkable for a ten year old.

Need to get him on the corners.
I don't think posters were slagging him per se. More the fact that the You Tube video is made to look like he was something special.Folk slating him for having average keepie uppie skills at 10 years old.
Only on follow follow.

Think it was put up by him mum to be fair haha.
Probably, mate.
A big season ahead for Declan.
Another reminder of how old I am. He was 10 when we were beating Lyon away?
