Charlie Brittan -.
Ron Burgess Signed amateur forms for Cardiff City and was offered an early trial, but Cardiff failed to keep this promise, so when a scout from the club arrived at the Burgess household a year later and expressed interest, he was shown the door and Ron went down the mines, playing for Cwm Villa, his local junior side .  Ron went on to be a legend at Tottenham, making over 300 appearances and part of Arthur Rowe’s “push and run” team that won the Second and First Division titles at the start of the 1950s.
Frank Burrows .
Fraizer Campbell .
Steven Caulker Young central defender who was fast-tracked through the Spurs youth system and an England international, but was sold for a Cardiff City record fee of £8.5 million in July 2013.
