“Excellent Leadership Qualities”, “Mature”, Voices Inside Spurs Have Nothing But Praise For Rising Star

It feels as if Troy Parrot is receiving more measured doses of praise from fans than perhaps Josh Onomah and Marcus Edwards did. Perhaps the reality that not every youth prospect will make the grade has engendered a degree of conservatism in they way supporters now view these new recruits.

Also, strictly speaking, Parrott is not a Tottenham Academy product, despite only being 17 years of age, he was very much ‘Made In Dublin’.

There’s a thoughtful piece on the Athletic (£) co-written by Jack Pitt-Brooke and Charlie Eccleshare devoted to the young Irishman, and whilst I’m a firm believer in Pay Walls definitely not being the answer it is this class of article that provides a rare and welcome exception to the rule.

Good quotes from Vincent Butler, Belvedere FC’s Director of Football give one a sense of the player that we Premier League addicts have onley seen the barest glimpses of.

And one man at Spurs, a fella by the name of David Pleat has high praise for the boy.
