Can’t remember who said, “you can’t win anything with kids!” , well just imagine if Randell, Lolos, cleal, law et al all have the same impact as Mr Jephcott, who knows ?
It was Alan Hansen referring to first glimpses of Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, David Beckham, Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Nicky Butt playing together age 19. Shortly after, a fleet of treble winners.
Not sure if that freakishly talented generation applies to Randell, Lolos, Cleal and Law, or 92 x equivalents up and down the country. Or the thousands of times the quote has been used since Hansen said it, usually by a poster referring to a teenager that is on a team's bench.
If Argyle played Lolos, Cleal, Law and Randell every game in League One, we might look like Argyle the last time we played 5 teenagers a game: bottom of the league.
