hardly famous but reasonably suprising I guess in this day and age for a youngster.   Lifted from website.

Matifadza Zata, on loan to Tayport from Dundee United, will miss the home game v Glenrothes on 23 March as he has been called up for International duty by Zimbabwe. The Zimbabwe FA have called Mati into their International under 23 squad for the African Cup of Nations Under 23 games, away v Mozambique on 22nd March and home v Mozambique in Harare on 26th March.

Fantastic! Are some of the Tayport lads going to the match?

George Connolly quite possibly up there with the best I had the good fortune to see

I saw him play for Sauchie when Forth beat them in the Junior Cuo around 1983   was a few stones heavier and  a hell of a lot whitier in the Barnet but i still got to see him play

Tayport's Matifadza Zata, on loan from Dundee United, was in the Zimbabwe team which beat Mozambique to reach the finals of the Under 23s African Cup of Nations to be held in South Africa in June. After a 0-0 draw in Maputo last week, two late goals from Mati's team gave the Young Warriors a 2-0 aggregate victory in the National Stadium in Harare this afternoon.

The lad that went to Rangers - are you talking about Alan Mitchell ?

Never heard of him!

You'll have heard of Jimmy Quinn, undoubtably the most famous player of all who came from a  junior club, Smithstone Albion, to Celtic in 1900 and stayed with them for his entire senior career of 15 years. Fifth highest Celtic goalscorer of all time, first to score two hatricks against Rangers, it just goes on.  Right up there with Jimmy Johnstone and Kenny Dalgliesh as best ever.

Apart from Shug Robertson there were a few more ex-Juniors in that Dundee title winning side of 61/62.  Pat Liney - Dalry Thistle, Bobby Cox - Dundee Osborne, Alan Gilzean - Coupar Angus plus Gordon Smith - Montrose Roselea & Dundee North End although about 20 years earlier.

I was recently given a copy of 'In Search of Alan Gilzean' ( shaping up to be a decent read) which gives a mention to the guys above together with Alan Cousin (Alloa YM), George O'Hara (Shettleston),George McGeachie (Falkirk High) and Doug Alexander(Westrigg Bluebell). Good Junior base for a title winning team.

What happened to the ‘Best Players in the Juniors’ thread? I only managed to read the last two pages, tell someone they were getting decked and then it was gone!

I scrubbed it cos dafties ruined it and never took it seriously absolutely pathetic off them
