: Glenn Hoddle's academy players continue to
: attract interest from Football League clubs.
:
: Hoddle was back at Spurs Lodge on Tuesday
: when a couple of players from his new
: project, the Glenn Hoddle Academy (GHA),
: played as trialists for Dagenham &
: Redbridge in a training ground friendly
: against a strong Spurs XI.
:
: He told the Spurs website: "I'm here
: because we (GHA) played Dagenham last week
: and John Still, the Dagenham manager, said
: he wanted to have a look at a couple of the
: lads. They are playing in this game but I
: didn't realise we'd be playing against such
: a strong team! It's a great experience for
: them.
:
: "The players are Curtley Williams, who
: was at Ipswich and we took into the Academy
: a year ago and Alex Fisher, who we only
: took a month ago. He's been playing in
: amateur football at Oxford City and he must
: be pinching himself at the moment.
:
: "Last week he played against Under-20
: teams from Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid,
: now he's playing against Jonathan Woodgate
: and Michael Dawson. He's learned a lot in
: the last month!
:
: "It's so far, so good for the Academy.
: We've got seven or eight players back into
: the game and that's the objective, to give
: them that opportunity.
: "One of those players is a dream story
: for us, Ikechi Anya. We took him from
: Halesowen and he's signed a two-year
: contract at Sevilla. He's already made his
: debut for the first team in a friendly and
: is doing wonderfully there.
:
: "That's what this Academy is all about
: - we couldn't have scripted that
: better."
