Ex-Spurs Player Troy Parrott

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
One to watch, hopefully.
Touch wood, us showing that he has a path into the first team as long as he keep working hard and improving will make him happy to stick around. I always get the vibe that the youngsters who fuck off prematurely have already bigged themselves up before any of that - luckily Parrott gives the impression of being rather grounded.
Hold on, 'fly off'... I see what you did there...
Have heard a lot about this lad. Let’s hope he’s not another one who is over hyped - but a squad number, aged 16, is incredible at a top 4 club.
If you’re good enough, you’re old enough, as the adage goes.
Let’s hope he’s the next academy kid breaking through.

Almost like there was a parrot in the room.
IMO Parrott is an outstanding prospect who we'll almost see next preseason, if not before, but the statement 'The Irish striker is only 16 and already has a first-team squad number at Spurs' is just misleading crap written by someone who clearly hasn't much knowledge of Spurs youth players.
The 'first team' squad numbers are issued to all youngsters who have played in official team matches including matches in Checkatrade Trophy and a selection of his fellow Academy Year 1 player names and squad numbers :
Malachi Walcott (CB), dob 2002 - 70
Luis Binks (CB) dob 2001 - 73
Harvey White (CM/LB) dob 2001 - 72
J'Neill Lloyd-Bennett (wing/striker) dob 2001 - 68
So Troy is not exceptional for his age in being given squad number 71 at his age.
So the tweeter is right to tweet he's an exceptional talent - but not for the reasons he's selected.
Probably tweeted when he was sick as a..........
He and Jack Roles are hopefully the next up.
I know! if you copy of Twitter at least correct the grammar! No need for the ‘ in defenders unless it’s defenders’ shoulders
7 and 1 pieces of eight!.
Do they need a squad number to play in the Checkatrade Trophy
Yes all Spurs players in the Checkatrade Trophy had a first team squad number, in Parrott's case it was no 71
got a bit of Lamella about him and I don't just mean the gloves.
Seems to have a bit of an edge and a temper to him. Got sent of in I think it was a NLD with the youth team this fall
I just watched the video and thought exactly the same thing. I think it was the exaggerated arm movements that evoked the similarities first off.
