Found this on another site and its a list 5 years ago of the top 50 promising players. Some made it, some didn't. But have a look who just missed out on the list http://www.footballtransfers.co.uk/youth/top50_2001.html
Howard on bottom bit. (Y) Brian Howard (Southampton, AM/LM) - England U-17 offensive midfielder who can play on the left flank as well as in the centre. Fast, creative and a good passer of the ball. An excellent prospect, Manchester United have been reportedly eyeing him.
Cheers that's a good read and a real surprise entry from Brian Howard on the missed out list. Although I remember Rick Holden writing in the kick-off supplement of the chron last season, saying that he was looking forward to see if Howard could rise to his premiership potential. He clearly does create a strong impression on others within the game. I have a sneaky feeling there could be a lot more to come from our Brian, should be good to watch.
