Southampton fullback Nathaniel Clyne believes he wasn't really rated while coming through the Crystal Palace academy.
Clyne has certainly come a long way since his days in the Crystal Palace academy, when he doubted he would ever make the first-team.
"I wasn't really the one spoken about coming through the youth team," he revealed.
"I was more like the silent person coming through and I had to work really hard to get myself into the reserve team and break through from there."
Now, though, he is flourishing.
"I have been on a long journey and making it through the Crystal Palace ranks and I was not selected that much for the team," he said.
"I was fortunate to get into the team and, when I did, I made my mark and got through, and now I am playing for Southampton and doing really well."
