My first dream as a young boy was to be a gymnast and my first memory of football is of watching Ajax win the European Cup in 1971. It was a time when a great philosophy was being developed at Ajax, making rounded players who were there as a complete team rather than as 11 individuals.

Every league starts with homegrown players.

Most clubs would actually like homegrown players because they're a lot cheaper.

Of course that's Ajax development, giving young players a chance.
