Everton midfielder Jack Rodwell feels he's been lucky to come through the club's academy.
Rodwell has been with the Toffees since his early teens.
He told Absolute Radio: "It's been brilliant. You know, the Academy has always produced good players, you can look at the names; Wayne Rooney, and obviously there's loads more, Francis Jeffers, you know, they've all gone on playing for England, and hopefully I'll do that myself.
"You know, the Academy, like I said, is fantastic, and they make you feel at home and I enjoyed every minute of it."
