Who were they? [Post edited 24 Jul 2020 11:59]

Yes, you are right. Channon and Baker both returned to us from Man City. |  |

Sorry, misread the OP. Kevin Davies wasn’t in our youth set-up.... |  |

Perhaps. we should have a second thread for great players we released at youth level? Les Ferdinand, for example, who was at our London academy along with the Wallace brothers. Those London and North-eastern academies produced some great players, like Shearer. Kevin Davies is one I should have remembered. but he rarely gets mentioned by Saints fans nowadays. |  |

Yes. Coincidentally, he also had 2 spells as a player at Blackpool: the second one 14 years after the first. That must be some sort of record. |  |

Yes, he attended training sessions at our London academy but I don't think he was ever offered a contract. Those regional academies set up by McMenemy were quite an innovation at the time. Alan Shearer was referring to his time at our north-eastern academy on MOTD the other night. He said he was coached there by Dave Merrington, who told him to concentrate on getting power into his right foot shots. |  |
