    Which British football club has produced the best player in your opinion?

    my opinion, one of the following (not easy to choose)

    Birmingham - Jude Bellingham.

    Manchester City - Phil Foden.

    Barnsley - John Stones.

    West Ham - Frank Lampard.

    Barcelona - Lionel Messi is the obvious answer.

    Presumably every current player came through an academy at some stage so you could just pick your favourite player e.g Harry Kane at Spurs.

    Surely Barcelona, because of Messi, is the only answer? Unless of course you don’t think he’s the best ever.

    Technically you are both wrong.. Lionel Messi is out of this world. I'm talking about planet earth ;-)

    Surely Newell's Old Boys deserves a mention for Messi? If they hadn't been so tight with his medical treatment he would have stayed there and made them a lot of money...

    I also didn't realise Arsenal tried to sign him when he was a teenager. That would have been a good signing!

    The question is a fair one, however, I would submit, that position on the field of play merits differing answers.
    Goalkeeper
    Defender
    Midfielder
    Forward
    Etc...

    Not sure where he first got developed but I really like the look of a guy called Jon Stone i think it is at Manchester City. Looks a great player so id have to go with whichever team he started at.

    George Best - Man utd

    Born in Belfast, Best began his club career in England with Manchester United, with the scout who had spotted his talent at the age of 15 sending a telegram to manager Matt Busby which read: "I think I've found you a genius". After making his debut at age 17,

    A genius he was sir,

    Souness was a proper hard *******, he still looks terrifying now. After Bowyer and Dyer had that onfield fight at Newcastle in the dressing room after Souness told them both unless they sorted it out he would smash them both :D

    That is a vision which I’ll find difficult to get out of my mind.

    Funny though
