Had a quick look on wikipedia. Elliot signed as a first year scholar from Erith Town around the start of 02/03. Basey was a first year scholar in 05/06, but joined the club when he was 9, so around 97 or 98. He made his debut before Elliot, both did in the 07/08 season. Wagstaff joined as an 8 year old, so around 98 or 99, so possibly joined before Basey did. As for players that came in as professionals, Kelly Youga was signed July 2005 by Curbishley, his only signing still with the club.

Was going to say Basey but not signed yet.
Elliot didn't start playing til 08/09 and Basey played 07/08 I think?
So depends how you look at it.
Turnover of players seems to be increasing these days!
