Antwoine Hackford

[Belvedere Blade]

Go and get a HAT TRICK

 

[Rodley]

HACKERRRRRRRRRRZ almost bagged one!

 

[EddieColquhoun]

I love watching the academy sides on a weekend, I don't watch any specific side just have a walk about and so watch many players over the years and if someone catches my eye I like to watch their progress over the years. We have many youngsters that I can see making a breakthrough over the next 5 years or so.

But the next superstar from the Shirecliffe conveyor belt is Antwoine Hackford, a 14 year old striker. Plays for the U15s what a player this boy is and I am going to go on record and say this lad will make his first team appearance aged 16, become our youngest ever player and our youngest ever goal scorer. That is some statement but he is some player.

Any other avid academy watchers have their tips for future stars?

The finest post on any football forum EVER.

Great prediction from 2 years ago mate, apart from he won’t score cos that’s not what we do.

When your 16 year old striker looks just as good as ur 23 million pound signing

 

[GEARYstolemyBEER]

Hope he gets a few more chances and stays in and around the squad, it will help him massively rubbing shoulders with top players week in week out....

imagine been 16 and in around the environment of, Aguero, Aubameyang, vardy, salah etc

 

[S64 Blade]

Felt sorry for him having to make his debut in those circumstances. But, the one chance he did get, he did well.

 

[Yogi]

He looked ok in his cameo today showed some nice movement whilst receiving very little service. He certainly offered more than Mousset and on that basis deserves to be in the first team building whilst also continuing to get game time for the youth sides. I would encourage united fans not to heap too much expectation on him too to be a saviour being a sheffield lad he will hear what’s being said about him and he is still very very young.

Not for a penny more than a fiver and a bag of crisps.

 

[robbiez666]

Didn't look out of place and possibly now has the most shots on target per minutes played.

 

[wavy-blade]

We need sumert to lean on , this lads gona save us ( alright a bit to much ) but got a shot away in 10 mins and was unlucky not to score , must start in the FA cup , take your chance son , don't bottle it we all want you to succeed .

Sure I was reading earlier his current worth is £100k. He could be the answer to our prayers a bargain basement youth striker saves our season. I can see the book of the movie of the theatre play now. £££££

I think you misunderstand the issue when the 16 Yr old is doing just as well as mousset and brewster tbh shows we have some serious issues

I think you didnt understand the sarcasm in my post although I was telegraphing it.

I think you worded it in a way that made it read condescendingly like I'd made out he would save our season and was dumb for saying so.

So I thought I would clarify that I didn't mean Hackford looked elite just our strikers have been that poor and the creators or lack thereof behind them..

And he’s not United’s youngest ever player

My bad. Who is?

Little Louis Reed, t’old Pinchy’s favourite. Then Trenton Wiggan, then Hackford.
I was just being facetious, it was an unbelievable prediction from the OP

Even if you were it’s still good to have the facts. Don’t remember Trenton Wigan?

Club did a bit on him earlier in the season

Trenton Wiggan - A Blades pioneer

The former United striker speaks about his time at United.

Apologies, Hacky is younger than Trenton was. Wiggan was 16y 328d old, made his debut in ‘79

The best ITK shout of the lot!

Proud day for the lad and his family, huge well done!

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

Just seen his movement before his shot, VERY good

 

[CarlMcBlade]

I know it such a cliched call, but I would use the remainder of this season to bring more lads like Antwoine into the side. ....They certainly can’t do any worse.

Tend to agree. Not sure how many are genuinely close though?

Brunt would’ve been my picked out of all of them based on what he’s doing for the u23s. There won’t be any more like Hackford to be playing u23s football at 16 is astounding to make you’re senior debut is incredible and to do that in the prem is almost impossible so hats off to the lad. But we don’t have a group of Hackford’s but there are some players who might make it as pros.

Brunt came to mind, Ndiaye another maybe. Cant we get RND back off his loan too? Seems crazy hes elsewhere ATM.
