Well you can prove any case if you only focus on the examples that back it up. What about players like O' Leary, Brady, and Quinn? Didn't they leave prior to turning 18? Weren't they successful?
Thats true. But think of the 100s of irish young lads who go across the water at 16 then get homesick or things dont work out ,then come home and end up working in dead end jobs and are lost to the game. Had they stayed here and played and then travelled to England at 20 or so they could have had successful careers in football. The route quinn etc took isnt the only way,
