Some of the best young players now.

And due to Brexit, David, our best players are staying here now.

So the League of Orleans is vitally important.

The government have recently put 3 million funding in in regards to youth academy developments.

but we do need forward investment.

And Pico's is a shining light of what can be produced at home.

Like Pico didn't go to the UK, didn't get developed there.

He stayed here and is able to compete against the best players in the world.

And we have to believe in ourselves, believe in our own league, believe that we've got to structure ourselves to develop players at Pico's level.

And we do need government and everybody else to get behind the league.

And as you said, David, it is growing.

It's bigger than it's ever been.

And people like Pico can be the shining light for that.

And that performance last night, if anybody thinks that, you know, the League of Orleans is not a level, well, look at his performance last night.

And you can't compete at that level playing their league.

No, you're right.

I was on to him last night.

I've been on to him last night.

And his mentality is the same.

He said, it's a great draw.
