Since Moyes coached for the second time, Westhams has transformed into a team that competes for the top four in the league in recent seasons. Although this season is almost certain to be defeated once more, but the Europa front has reached the final four. Let’s see Westham’s final Can he hold the Europa League trophy high, bid farewell to the earlier announcement that he will hang up his boots in the postseason, and show his entire playing career to Westham captain Mark Noble.
Lu Bao, who is 1.8 meters tall, is a defensive midfielder and has been a Westham fan since he was a child, started training in Westham at the age of 13. After loaning to Houcheng and Ye Shiweizhi, Lu Bao became a 15-year-old. He played in the reserve group at the age of 17 (the record for the youngest player), and got his first chance to play in the first team at the age of 17. In the 2007/08 season, he started to play in the first team temporarily, and has been playing until now. The number of appearances is 548 times (62 goals and 61 assists in West Ham’s history)
Played for Westham for 18 seasons. Although he often wandered in the middle and lower levels of the league, he never won a major championship, and he never won the “cap” of the England team (rejected the Irish call-up many times). The season followed the team’s relegation to the British Championship; even though old teammates such as Berga, Binamei, Lungeburg, Taives, Zugauer and other stars left the team successively, Lubao still chose to stick to his position in Wes. Xian’s position, this commendable loyalty alone, has been worthy of the respect of the majority of fans.
Before Lubao, there were many One-club Man in the Premier League, and the more famous ones are as follows:
Fans with longer “Bo age” will certainly not be unfamiliar with Tony Adams. Born in the “Arsenal” youth training system, with a height of 1.91 meters, he is famous for his head hammer. He played for the first team for the first time at the age of 17. From 1983 to 2022, he played for the team a total of 568 times and scored 38 goals. ;As a defensive general during the coaching period of Jiao Jia, he led Arsenal to win the 1997/98 and 2001/02 Premier League championships as captain. The left gate Winterburn forms an extremely solid line of defense. Due to Adams’ loyalty and contribution to the team unparalleled, the club erected a bronze statue of Adams outside the Emirates Stadium to pay tribute.
Manchester United, which has always attached great importance to youth training, promoted the “Seven Little Fortunes”, which is the proud work of the legendary team leader Ferguson. Although some members such as Beckham, Philip Levy, and Bitt failed to “kick to the end” at Manchester United, But there are still Gary Neville, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs who have been at the club until they hang up their boots following debuting in the youth academy; and the three of them have served Manchester United for 20 years, respectively. In 20 and 24 years, the first team played 600 times, 713 times and 947 times respectively, and scored 7 goals, 152 goals and 164 goals respectively, and the number of times they won the Premier League championship is unprecedented and may not come later. 8, 11 and 13 times, he was definitely the main player for Manchester United to dominate the Premier League from the 1990s to the millennium. “It has been praised by Manchester United fans to this day.
To count the heroes and idols of modern Liverpool fans, the first is Sherratt, who is known as “Captain Fantastic”, but don’t forget that vice-captain Jamie Carragher, who is also a product of the “Red Army” youth training, also contributed a lot. Since the boy got his first chance to play in the first team at the age of 19, he has gradually become the main defender of the team. Even though he has recorded 7 own goals in the Premier League over the years, he is only second to the “Own Dragon King” Richard Denny, but it still does not hurt him. He was praised as “Mr. Stable”, and was entrusted by many team leaders including Houlia and Benedict. Between 1996 and 2013, Gallica played 739 times for the first team, the second-most in team history. For many years, he joined forces with Sherratt and won the Europa League, FA Cup, League Cup, European Super Cup and other competitions, but he never won the coveted Premier League championship, which became the biggest regret of his career.
Looking around the current Premier League teams, famous players who have played for more than 10 years in their own youth training include Tottenham’s Hallijani, Southampton’s Huetbos, etc.; The club to which they belong has never won any major championships, and it is to see whether their loyalty can eventually withstand the temptation of the major giants and become the latest generation of One-club Man.
