Here's an interesting and optimistic item from the BBC pages on the now-operating National Football Centre at St George's Park, Burton: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/philmcnulty/2012/08/fa_unwraps_120m_monument_to_fu.ht John Peacock, ex Rams' Academy boss and now successful England youth manager, has some good words to say about the FA finally getting a proper development centre and a dedicated England base for our national team. Let's hope the new foundations help to produce England sides that can achieve more at tournament level. Of course, Derby's Mason Bennett was a scoring star for the England Under-17s during this week, too! [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]
