Credit for Ampadu should go to himself, his dad and our youth team coaches, also the manager who signed Kwame Ampadu all those years ago !!!
You surely don't mean Noel Blake :)

Steady on there, that seems like the logical thing to do.

I’m sure they all played a part

But if Tis had nothing to do with it, why do we even have football managers?

Why not just find a bunch of kids and say ‘you can kick a ball, now off you go and work hard. Then you’ll play for Chelsea?’

Without the signing by Big Noel he (Ampadu Jnr) wouldn't have been anywhere near ECFC.

Wasn’t Ethan about -2 years old when Noel was kicking around/falling over?

Or have I missed something?

Your initial comment was that Tisdale had an amazing record for improving players.

I don't think he was great at that, for all the players who improved, many stagnated or went backwards, he also had a habit of signing players who were beyond development.

Touring Central Java...
A bizarre leap to make - I haven’t missed many home games in the last near 40 years, I don’t see any reason to miss this one, regardless of the inevitably cringeworthy chants we’ll hear during this one.
And I thought you were still a teenager....

Perhaps he is and it seems like 40 years.
