Title: Charlie Wellens
Post by: Filo on April 19, 2015, 07:29:28 pm
I know they let him score, but I was watching him before the game and at half time having a kick about with his brother, that lad has got some sereous skill and ball control, I would hope that some one from the academy has had a word with Wellens senior about getting him down to the academy to have a better look at him

I was watching with interest too filo. Very skilful lad as was the youngest for his age. Would definitely hope we could get the lad in the academy sides.

Me too. His first touch was exceptional for one so young.  Said same about getting him in the academy.

He was taking shots from about 20 yards and they were hitting the back of the net with some power for a lad of his age and size, I'd guess he was about 10 or 11 years old

Was that the pair of youngsters kicking about at the North stand goal?  The older kid just had that innate balance and control that class footballers have.
