Privately-educated Premiership footballers

ChizzChizz
in Other Football and Sports
There are many - possibly a majority, at some clubs - privately-educated players in rugby and cricket. But far fewer footballers (in percentage and actual terms) have come from "Public Schools".

Frank Lampard went to Brentwood
Diego Poyet - Eltham College
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - St John's
Victor Moses - Whitgift

Anyone else..?

    With a name like Ward-Prowse you'd hazard a guess that he can be added to that list.

    Is that his name or his day job?

    Don't think it was a private school, CofE I think. Closed down in the last couple of years.

    No, he went to Oaklands Catholic School, which is state-funded.

    Voluntary Aided. Shithole as well. Ferdinand was a first year when I left I think. It most definitely was not a public school...

    No. He went to St Andrew's High, a comprehensive in North Lanarkshire.

    Edit: and isn't a Premiership footballer.

    If double barrel surnames are the mark of middle classness then we must have been scouting private school teams heavily in recent years !
