Crewe Alexandra: The Football League’s La Masia

Robbie Savage - Blackburn

5 – Robbie Savage:

Savage had already been in the youth ranks at Manchester United before making the switch to Crewe. Savage made over 50 appearances for Crewe before moving to Leicester for around £500,000. Savage would go on to make 108 appearances in The Championship, scoring seven and assisting 8, and 346 in the Premier League scoring 20. He is renowned as being one of the most controversial and tough tackling players in Premier League history and his appearances in European tournaments as well as 39 Welsh caps is a testament to the ability of the Crewe academy for bringing nurturing his potential following his disappointment at United.
