    Dyche trusted his judgement, and he was possibly the best judge of a young player I've ever known. I don't know exactly, but he must have seen in excess of 200 youngsters in our academy and dev squad teams in his time here. Of those, he only ever gave one an extended run in the first team, and he turned out to be a PL class winger. None of the others, not a single one in all that time, has gone elsewhere and proved him wrong. That looks like a 100% record to me, quite remarkable, as David Coleman used to say.
