Only 2 fixtures in this whole PL gameweek did not feature a player from south London (Bou v Lei & Eve v ManU; Sancho on bench). You can read how south London has become a hotbed of talent in English football in the book. Link in bio to order @PitchPublishing #premierleague

England is often referred to as the home of football. The birthplace of association football in the mid-1800s, England has for many years been at the forefront of the world game: the Premier League is by far the most watched league across the world [1]

[Something in the Water @SITW_Book]

How did those northen towns produce so many players throughout the second half of the 1900s and the first period of the PL era? How has south London now built on that? What is happening in these areas and in English football that has changed the face of our talent hotbeds? [6]
