Ex-Bees (2014 update)

Kai McKenzie-Lyle?

Marginally better than Azaze but not good enough.
Dillon Barnes played 20 odd league games for Colchester so arguably was our most successful youth product as a keeper!

Now part of a Haringey Borough team that have been relegated from the Isthmian Premier!

exactly, not a great choice of keepers as GRH said

It was an odd move when we went to Liverpool to warm a bench.

However;

Did any of our other academy goalkeepers progress to full international status?

Did any of our other academy players actually score in a full international match? (!)

Louie Annesley has 1 goal for Gibraltar.

I guess he is reckoned as an Academy-player for us, even though it was only a year.

Gambin is of Maltese descent and joined the Malta squad for training in June 2015.[37] His application for Maltese citizenship was successful and he was called up to the national team in May 2016.[38] He debuted later that week, starting in a 6–0 friendly defeat to the Czech Republic.[39] Gambin scored his first international goal in a 2–2 draw with Slovakia in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification match on 27 March 2021.[12]

Ah and of course Mauro Vilhete made his international debut recently.

International career
Vilhete was born in Portugal to Santomean parents, and moved to England at a young age. In November 2010, Vilhete said he wanted to play international football for either England or Portugal, but said "it would probably be Portugal in the end".[28] In March 2011, he was called up for a training camp with the Portugal national under-18 football team.[29]

In November 2023, he was called up by São Tomé and Príncipe for 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification.[30]

Marlon King? He was at least a trainee. Does that count as Academy?

Was Jamal Lowe ever an Academy-player for us? At least he played in the U18s?

joined as an u17. I would say anyone who played for us at at youth level would count for sure.

Joe Devera and Hakeem Odoffin in defence?

This goal from John Akinde against Grimsby sent Forest Green down

I understand that Gordon Ferry has died, aged 80.
He played over 300 times for Barnet, and was briefly manager in the 1970s.

Great player. Such a calm reassured influence on team. I believe he was the first player to get a maximum 10 from the Sunday People newspaper after our 0-0 at QPR

Bromsgrove Sporting have announced the departure of manager Tim Flowers.

MINGING!!!!

He had quite a tough start to the season in a team that was offering up lots of chances and believe in scoring 1 more than the opposition, but he's really played well as the season progressed.
