Hyndman was a batch of academy players along with Dembele', Roberts, and few other that were very successful. When Kahn took over FFC, it was left in a bit of a state by Al Fayed, and players like Hyndman were subject to bad management, especially by our coach at the time Martin Jol, who never invested in youth.

Before Kahn got his teeth into FFC, most of these players had made their minds up, that they'd move on, the damage was already done. We lost Dembele', Hyndmam and Roberts.

However, our academy has improved since, and like you say, players like Luca de la Torre are starting to break through, our new coach, Jokanovic', isn't scared to use them.

The one you want to look out for, who's just returned from long term injury, and who my Dad rates highly, is Marlon Fossey (with the fuzzy hair)
