produced since 1998? saw an article on bbc website that says since 1998 watford have had 50 players there academy make the first team and I was thinking we wouldnt be far behind that plus i'd say we'd produced better players, here's a few I can think of please add if I've missed anyone, must be players who came through our academy
woodgate
alan smith
paul robinson (keeper not our current left back)
mcphail
matt jones
jamie mcmaster
simon johnson
kilgallon
milner
lennon
richardson
carson
simon walton
martin woods
howson
robert bayly
tom elliott
delph
parker
lees
white
cairns
charlie taylor
only got 23 and a few of them only made 1 or 2, there's a few more if you count cup games, thought it would be more, would be a few more if you went back a couple of years the likes of kewell, harte, maybury, could add keogh as well as he played for us eventually
I think its a big well done to watford
How many youngsters have we

Tom Taiwo and Michael Woods might just be my favourite footballing story ever.
Cost Chelsea 5 million and now they turn out for Carlisle and Yoevil.
Its almost like the pair of them are the reincarnation of of Thomas Brolin, only this time we won.

I meant players who made at least one first team appearance for us, maybury made his in 1996, burns played some where else before signing for us
I dont think any of these played in the first team (league game)

Not sure they may have produced 100 it was an actual question. Ones I can think of, and one cap counts.
Woodgate
Milner
Robinson
Smith
Lennon
