If you exclude those who came from elsewhere to join the Dev Squad , the definition of our own is more limited. But its a perfectly valid model that QPR have been pursuing for years.
The counter to that is the number of players from the Academy that have been poached by other clubs. 13, I recall, netting us a mere £700k.
We'd all like to see a kid join at Junior school level and go on to make 100+ appearances in the First Team but that really is a rarity. Especially in London, with so many other clubs on the doorstep.
Maybe Heston will help us to attract and retain better players who can do that. Let's hope. [Post edited 10 May 7:53]

My mate played against James Milner when he was 17 and Milner was 14. he said nobody got near him despite him being comfortably the smallest player on the pitch. |  |

Was that the loan spell where he cleared the ball off the line about four hundred times? |  |

National league North not South for Oxford City, crazy but true!
Ridiculous that there were suggestions amongst our fanbase that Drewe should play more regularly. |  | | |

Well, they've clearly not forgotten him.
Wish him the very best. It's rare the road without a turn. | |

QPR old boys club there.
Josh Parker, Giles Phillips and Marcin Brzozozozozozzozoowski also there. Friend of the site Rafferty Pedder was there on loan last season as well. |  | | |

Think he made his debut in a 1 nil home win, I believe v Watford, and it was first win for a million years under Ainsworth.
He battled but the lack of talent was evident.
That was the height of his endeavours !! [Post edited 27 Sep 23:38]

Lots of rose tinted specs on here. Good luck to the lad, but will be lucky to get a national league south level club.
Hopefully him and Kakay is the start of a massive clear out |
Good prediction made back in May to be fair. |  | | |

Just remembered, why were some against Millwall singing that Alfie Lloydd is one of our own?
He's not, we signed him from Yeovil. | | | |

Has Kakay got a club yet? | | | |
| Aaron Drewe on 10:20 - Sep 28 with 872 views | derbyhoop |
Not yet.
Not good enough for Championship but L1/L2 he'd be a decent defender. If he doesn't want to move out of London though, his choices are limited. |  |
