I can't remember any "academy" team getting the better of Dean and Jonathan when they played together in the middle of defence in their younger years at Rovers. They often had the likes of Daniel Sturridge in their back pockets.
All these lads need, is the right break at the right time. That's the only difference between being a lower league player and a Premier league superstar.

Sorry Al i missed your post!!. I am agreeing with you,just saying a few people have mentioned him playing as an holding midfielder.
Lets be fair,who would have thought Phil Jones would have been tried there??,he was just an average lad who Big sam took a shine to,indeed,it was 50/50 wheither he got took on at 16!!!.
People dont realise theres a fine line in footy,between success and faliure.
Jon was a classy CB,and the coaches moved him (wrongly in my opinion).
They won the academy league at 16 and lancs cup at 17,but lads who they dominated are in prem/championship now!!!.
You need a large slice of luck to go up the ladder as well as talent.
I have a strange feeling they will end up playing together again,probably at Acci, but hope its Wigan Ath
