    .....'Toffs' in music, not sport

    You've really got a thing about the middle - classes haven't you?

    Jonjo Shelvey went to Brentwood school.

    Matt Holland sounds posh, he was probably privately educated.

    I love toffs and the aristocracy! Middle class people get my goat, specially when they pretend to like football

    Only because you're a member of the French aristocracy.

    Norwich city currently send a fair few of their academy boys to a big posh boarding school. Darren Eadie coaches school teams.

    That's a good find! Except that I think he went to Riverston (still a fee-paying school) and not Colfes. Either way, we can add him to the (tiny) list.

    Jonjo Shelvey went to Brentwood school.

    I don't think Brentwood County High School is a fee-paying, "Public School".

    I don't know which school Matt Holland went to, but it seems like a potential successful "spot"!

    Le Saux ?

    Le Saux ?

    Could be! However, he certainly belongs in what is probably an even-smaller category: footballers who got degrees before turning pro.

    I think it's mixed between fee paying (including boarding) and a grammer school. At least it was when my dad went there (with a load of MPs and Noel Edmonds)

    I think your Dad and Noel went to Brentwood School. And Jonjo went to Brentwood High School.

    What about Bamford. I saw an interview with him on football focus. Seemed pretty well educated/spoken. Does anyone have any info on Bamford

    Tony Watt.

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

    Edit: and isn't a Premiership footballer.
    It was a joke pal, remember Jackson claimed he was the thickest in the squad as did church.
    Must have some decent competition from johnson

    Raheem Sterling.

    No, he went to a comprehensive in Brent
    Was a tongue in bum cheek comment.
    you definitely went to private school
    I wish you hadn't gone to your mums for dinner the other night. You've really changed since then.
    you try getting wanked off by your dad at the dinner table, see if you come out normal...
    I didn't realise it was at the dinner table. Now I know why your mum uses plastic table cloths.
    No need to waste good protein or make brandy cream to go on the desert.
