LiquidFury Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Here is a welsh newgen, Nicky Legg. I spotted his name in my news items due to his unsual surname and it immediately made me think of Andy Legg, the ex-Cardiff and Peterborough player who is now manager of Llanelli. Now, Nicky Legg came through the academy at United in 2016; Andy Legg had retired from the game by this point and was never a coach at Man United but Nicky Legg has him listed as a favoured person. It might be an obvious question, but can sons of managers come through the game then? I do remember reading about it some 4-5 years ago but I don't think it was ever confirmed and this is the first I have ever seen of this. I'd love for my own son to come through an academy if possible... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArranoBeltza Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Yes- there are newgens who are generated as managers' sons and, yes, your own son can turn up in an academy. It isn't very likely and doesn't happen often, but people have posted screens of their newgen sons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Legg isn't that uncommon a surname. But it does look like this guy is Andy Legg's son. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying there aren't people with that name; the name just stuck out because I haven't often seen or heard it. I checked my save file's DB and he's the only person with the surname Legg. Clegg was far more common. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
