I only ask as I used to play in the South Western League, and two friends of mine are now playing in the leagues you talk of. If you're local, I'd be interested to know if I know you.
They're not nuggets anymore though, they're 30, like me However, as kids, one was at Norwich and the other at Wolves.
The list was complied after watching them play. They're all untapped gems (nuggets if you're Luggy ) and with their ability deserve to be playing at a higher level.
I know Argyle are looking for players and with finances the way they have been recently you could do a lot worse than those players i mentioned. I'd be very surprised if 60/70% of them aren't picked up by bigger clubs in the next couple of years.
I've got a real soft spot for Argyle and i desperately hope you turn your season around and start climbing the leagues again.
Good luck. :thumbup:
Out of interest. Do you scout local leagues in Plymouth & Cornwall for players? I've seen heck of alot of players in U17/U18 leagues and upwards who have never been touched by Argyle or professional teams due to never having the chance who are definatly capable of playing football league standard football. Would be such a shame to see such talent in the young lads to go to waste! :thumbdown:
I've seen very little of the local Devon and Cornwall scene to be honest (i'm sure it is an untapped market) but i've watched a few teams in the Peninsula League in recent times and there are players who could play at a higher level - Chris Luxton (Bodmin) is a decent young striker with potential. Ex Argyle youth i think.
Also Glyn Hobbs (Plymouth Parkway) has all the ability to play in the football league but unfortunately has a criminal record as long as your arm so clubs won't touch him - If it wasn't for his off field problems he'd be playing at a much higher level for sure. His strength and ability to dominate is frightening at that level. Even Man Utd were said to be interested a few years back according to the local press.
