Does it mean the player is from Plymouth or a product of the academy .

Academy.

 

[IJN]

I'd say either.

 

[Tugboat]

Academy for me but I’ll take home grown also

 

[Bryan Tregunna]

Surely, its whatever you want it to be.To me, Paul Mariner was one of our own.
But I'm happy to accept otherwise.

When you say 'Plymouth' you mean 'Argyle Plymouth' which includes the whole of Devon and Cornwall (and bits of Somerset)??

(I'd include any player who has eaten a pasty and/or a cream tea, has swum in the sea off Devon/Cornwall and has been on the (now defunct ) train at Paignton Zoo.) COYGs!! OOOO!!!

 

[EastoftheTamar]

Anyone who has had their shoes stick to the floor in Jesters

 

[ihe]

Ah well never mind

 

[Joe Totale]

Anyone who has managed to finish the half a yarder from Cap'n Jaspers.

 

[JannerinCardiff]

Anyone who saw a fight on Union street.

From Plymouth and has come through the Academy.
So Adam Randell is but Mike Cooper isn’t.
Seem strange calling someone from Exeter, one of our own.

 

[ihe]

Thank you, it was a simple enough question after all.

 

[JannerinCardiff]

I think it’s purely about coming through the academy where we have developed a player to professional level. When that happens then they are ‘one of our own’.

 

[mutley marvel]

Could be coming through the academy- Jephs, Coops, Lawsy or players born & bred Plymothians or Janners ( An English person born within ten miles of the sea. (Britain, slang) Someone from Plymouth.) which is Rands

Any young player that comes through the Academy is one of our own - as Coops, Jephs, Lawsy & Rands have come through the Academy & are now 1st team players

 

[tonsk]

has been on the (now defunct ) train at Paignton Zoo.

When did that happen?
