I have moved the following from the old VfD page because it's still relevant. --Mintie 22:40, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Questions: What other "The Academy of Football" is there? How many other clubs are known as "The Academy of Football"? --Unfocused 00:39, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- The most obvious club that comes to mind is Crewe Alexandra.--Skully Collins 09:37, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
As Jermain Defoe came through the Charlton Athletic academy and was purchased by West ham when he was old enough (16) in much the same way as Walcott was for Arsenal from Southampton. Isn't it a bit much to be claiming him as a product of "the academy"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Captvimes (talk • contribs) 17:18, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Request to delete this page. It's pointless, out of date and has no relevance to football. Just West Ham United fans bigging themselves up and there academy. There are plenty more academies with better players now. Middlesbrough, Aston Villa, QPR and Arsenal to name a few. 81.207.80.75 17:38, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
