apparently Phizza was the only player who made the grade into first team from that FAYC winning side.
Who else were in that team? I can only remember Terry Cooke...

Paul Gibson, Phil Neville, Ronnie Wallwork, Michael Clegg, Ashley Westwood, John Curtis, Danny Hall, Neil Mustoe, Grant Brebner, David Johnson, Dessie Baker, Terry Cooke, Phil Mulryne, David Hilton, David Gardner
All these players featured in the two legged final as United defeated Tottenham on penalties.......
Neville, Wallwork, Clegg, Curtis, Cooke and Mulryne all made the first team.....most have gone on to have good careers in league football albeit outside of the Premiership...
thanks Tony!TonyPark said:
when I said "made the grade", I meant "established"
Wallwork, Clegg, Curtis, Cooke and Mulryne were all fringe players.fecking hell terry cooke looked like he was the real deal back then

class act then he moved on to the bitters and it went downhill
Well, now Richardson, Eagles and Bardsley are the only United players from the last winning FA-youth team. I guees that none have too bright hopes for their United futures.

bards has a chance
Yes, but not doing to well with Rangers, so he has to do better.londonredmaniac said:
Heaton was in that team also, and Adam Eckersley took some part too.oskarutd said:

Heaton was named as a substitute keeper in six of the eight games including the final and although he picked up a winner's medal....he didn't play..
Adam Eckersley was a non-playing substitute in the opening tie against Newcastle and did not get into the squad after that....
Neither played in the winning season but made their FA Youth Cup debuts in 2003/04.........
Interestingly, Tommy Lee was a substitute keeper for three Youth campaigns 2001/02, 2002/03, 2003/04 but never got a game!
