I remember seeing Scholes' debut. He came here to Port Vale and won the cup tie for Man UTD almost single handedly.

as a man united fan, i salute you for not including mason greenwood

Hey Alfie, I just thought of a cracking idea for a video you could do on the turbulent recent history of Goztepe in the Super Lig. They’re one of the Super Lig’s most well supported clubs (a bit like a Newcastle United, Sunderland or Strasbourg if you may). In the 2001/02 season, they finished seventh in the top flight, however from 2002 to 2008, they were relegated five times in six seasons, due to their inability to reduce their outstanding debt which resulted in the football club being banned from signing new players during that time. In August of 2007, a business based in Istanbul, vowed to take them back to the top flight making them one of the top five clubs in the country, but they were met with lots of suspicions from the fan base, and then they handed over the ownership to another bloke called Mehmet Sepil in 2014. Anyway, they’re back in the Super Lig as a solid mid table/weaker top half team. Why am I bringing all this up? Because apparently Abramovich is looking to possibly buy the club himself, after being sanctioned from the UK. It’s a crazy crazy story and may you could look into this, not to mention, they are not only a rare example of a club that is considered a neighbourhood club, as well as the fact that they’ve played in 3 different stadiums since 2011, but also in 1969, they became the first Turkish football team to play a semi-final of a European competition.

Gareth Barry's transition from a left back to DM is something special imo. It truly elevated his career but the man also stayed mostly injury free throughout his career which is something not easy seeing that his role is more on the physical side.

Not my team but Owens debut season was a thing to behold, not seen anything like it since. It was almost like we all knew he was going to make it all the way.

Can you do these for every league? Or at least the top 5 6 leagues? This video is really interesting

In reference to your comment about Micah Richards. Very few defenders burst onto the scene…

Hey Alfie, what about a short Documentary on Jermaine Defoe for a video idea. Regards Sarge

Sturridge and Wilshire's loans at Bolton in consecutive seasons was a damn exciting time. What a difference a decade makes.

Dude. Sometimes take for granted how hard you work on this research man. This was a fun watch. You’re really doing good stuff👍🏿

You put so much research and time into these videos it’s amazing. It’s so interesting to learn about all things football and your videos are so perfect. Keep up the amazing work man!

Brilliant video as usual. Entertaining and educative

Can't believe Shola Ameobi didn't get his recognition....said nobody.

This was a wicked video. Loved it

Rooney might be the best raw talent I've ever seen in my life.

Love this mate 👏 since I’m 41 now I remember all these 😂

Luke Thomas deserved a mention in 2019-20. Played more prem games than all the 3 you mentioned for that season.

Day 3: Completely irrelevant to the topic of this video, but considering that the last player who played in the miracle of Bern died about 4 months ago, I would really like to see a video about the whole story between Germany and Hungary, especially because it meant so much to at least the German population

I’ll say in recent years, the criticism towards English clubs not developing enough academy players has been much less.

God how far we’ve come from the England team that Sterling made his debut in

Liverpool pretty good for young players

Can't wait for these videos on other leagues

I love you for choosing Hendo

While watching this video, I googled Frank Lampard's scoring stats and my mind is blown. How a midfielder can achieve such scoring + assisting figures is mind boggling.

I CAN'T IMAGINE LIVING WITHOUT HITC SEVENS YOU ROCK BRO ✨🙌

Didn't know that Piqué and Fabregas actually started playing in the Premier League! I'd be very curious to see what you think about Serie A graduates, but that video could be at least twice as long as this one... 😅

great video as per! id say jacob ramsay has to be the best debutant for the 20/21 season no? id say he’s at least on par with elanga, although both are having great seasons.

That Michael Owen burn was supernova-esque 🤣

I love how in the Rodwell part you just manage to slide in the A League at 31. Made me chuckle

Roy Keane wasn't an academy graduate of Forest, he joined them in 1990 at 19 and went straight into the first team. He had already played first team football in Ireland.

Great Vid !

such a great viddie

Would love to see this for the championship.

Maybe do a video picking your best squad with only having 1 player from every prem team.Any formation but at least a backup 2 every position bar a GK.Something like that could work as a idea for you?

You should make a video on the best Premier league players to have never played for a big 6 club.

Day 236: Indonesia XI If All Eligible Players Had Declared For Them

Best XI to have only ever won a non-top division league title

Wow, my ears are burning from the praise in the 1995-96 section...

Such a short intro, caught me off guard :D

Brilliant

Sturridge plays here in australia too he plays for perth glory

Day 6: Best XI right now. Simple idea but would be interesting and controversial, especially when some of the old ones will no longer feature.

Happy to see some love for Andreas Christensen❤️🇩🇰

Also I was thinking if you could, for your 7 series on best ever PL players in each position, maybe do a list of 7 best ever PL managers?

Hey Alfie, you remain my absolute favourite football “fraud” on KZfaq. Keep up the good work.

Hey alfie, Great Video. Tino Liveramento played for me in my chelsea fm save this year, joining the club in 2023 and leaving 26 years later having made over a thousand appearances for the club. I hope he has a future at Chelsea...

17:43 Did he REALLY burst onto the scene though? XD

17:42, beautiful reference

The return to form of rashford has made the comments about him on this video quite funny

Lot of competition during 98-99. Also Ledley King's premier league debut season

Top 7 Players of all time from each nation of the world

Awesome.

Could you do a championship or EFL version of this?

Forgot to mention Owen’s odd Ballon D’or 😹🔥

if you ignore the exactly 2 minutes he played with Ronaldo and Raul, making 1 pass, Marcos Alonso qualifies for the 2010/11 season

martinelli in 19/20 season

Didn't Frank Lampard make his league debut for Swansea City?

do a best 11 of players who are older than their manager

Sonny made it into an Alfie vid!!!!

I never click on a video faster than HITC Sevens.

Do this for the other 3 English leagues please

Video idea: repeat this same exercise for Serie A.

Where did you manage to research this?

Top 7 best Australian players of all time

Joe cole was a more technically gifted footballer when him and lampard first started playing.. frank went on improved and had a better Carrer.. but joe cole as a teenager was exciting to watch he was a gifted boy with the ball.. you new even when he was a kid he could rip team's apart

Wait..did he really put Sol Campbell in 92-93 as the best although he only played one game compared to players who reached PFA team of the year? Or did I misunderstand completely?

Tortuous decision between Rice and Trent??

Arnold is just sooo much better than Rice

“This one was really tough” Alfielations 7:07

Day 11: best sons of former players currently playing (example: Diego Simeone’s son is killing it in Serie A) Criteria: dad must have played top flight football

How can you have Campbell Over Keane? Especially seeing you said it is about what they went on to achieve, surely Keane won more at united.

I hope that just like fabio valentino chooses to represent portugal

Im sad for Phil Jones lol He had amazing quilitys

Liverpool seem to be a place to be for young players 🤔

17:40 looool

Didn't tomori make his debut at Hull or Derby etc anyway

17:44 LMFAOOOOOOO

Video idea: Every PL club’s best ever academy graduate

Wow it took a huge dive in 2000 haha

Frank Lampard played on loan for Swansea. So if you can't include Defoe owing to him playing for Bournemouth then you can't include Lampard

Double sol Campbell 🏆

Never knew Micah Richards burst on to the scene

I love Adam Armstrong

What was the narcissism jab at Owen about? I know nothing about him as a person, could someone gimme the context?

ESR?

Fabregas has the best Kentucky Waterfall in EPL history

Early 2000s England squad was scary

Just curious: would Mason Greenwood be in the list had he not been arrested/charged this year?

What happened to Panathinaikos?

Hmmm….Barca players are going to have a problem calling Fabregas and Pique as one of your own….I don’t mind as an arsenal fan! :D

There's almost no such thing as an easy game in the PL. All the teams fighting to avoid relegation have put up some strong games against top 6 teams. Sure, some of the results make them look like a walkover but it's never a foregone conclusion prior to the game. Go to any other top league and at least 30% (closer to 50% in some leagues) are embarrassingly easy games where the top teams take no risk to blood one or two youngsters without fear that they'll lose the game. That's why it's easier for other leagues to bring on youngsters...

Not even mentioning Trevor Chalabah is interning

Trent Alexander is a great choice but honestly I think his teammate Andy Robertson is the best player as an attack minded defender Tiernay at arsenal and am glad u mentioned Billy Gilmour obviously am Scottish but it’s nice to see so many important players in the league and our renaissance isn’t a fluke John McGinn is also excellent unfortunately nobody appreciates Scotlands domestic league but Tavernier has 6 goals in 7 games in the europa league knockout games and is joint top scorer not bad for a RB yes he hits pens but scores in open play too v Dortmund and Braga and think he deserves at least one cap for England and Ryan Kent will get his chance when he moves on he is that good

It's not that English football can't nurture ball players,it's themselves who cnt nurture their career.they over estimate themselves and dnt put in extra work.there is no ball playing player playing in the top level In the mid 30's ..

I imagine that Livramento could represent Portugal instead of England.

1992-93 has to be Giggs

Little Mason Mount’s so cute.

Micah joke 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 This is gold

Why Luke Thomas is left out 🤔

Stamford bridge roaring
