[St Charles Owl]

You think you made a mistake, we let Jamie Vardy go from our academy because he was too small!!! Even worse than that was when we got Eric Cantona on trial but it was during the winter and the team were unable to train outdoors or on grass and our then manager Trevor Francis decided to let him go as he "hadn't seen him play on grass" so couldn't decide whether to take him or not!!! He left us, went to L**ds, then to MU and the rest is history!!!!!

There must be 100s of stories like this from down the years!!
