Depends on the level?
I don't think it does.

Freddy Adu & Souleymane Mamam?
No idea what the regulations are abroad. I was talking about "here".
What age do you think is acceptable?
Ashley Chambers was 15 when he made his Leicester debut.
I didn't say what I thought was acceptable.
If there's grass on the pitch, they should be left playWhat age do you think is acceptable?

Aha. I was thinking we were still talking globally seeing as that is where this dialogue originated. But regardless, I still don't see a problem with age if the team deems the player good enough, here or abroad.
There were stages during Kelly's time I wished we'd played a 2yr old as long as they were more competent than the rest of the ****ers on the pitch.
I know. That's why I asked the question.
Not just aimed at you though, a general question.
It's a tricky question, as how do you allow for individual circumstances? I work in youth football, so I know that there are varying regulations within different areas. What would you suggest is an acceptable age? As a player, I was probably ready at 15, but not at 14, so I can only go on that really. Clearly, that isn't applicable to all players, though.
Considering that the concern seems to be about the physical strength of a player up against the big boys, perhaps Stephen Hughes shouldn't have been allowed to play at any age.Aha.

Some amazing stories here. Someone mentioned last month about the Bradford fire not getting a lot of mention, however Heysel gets even less.
