Heading to England for a trial? Good luck.

There seem to be an increasing number of stories of young Aussie kids been "tapped on the shoulder" and then asked to pay to go and trial in England. The boys/families thinking they maybe onto something good...well let's put it in perspective.

10,000 boys trial in the UK every year for positions in the EPL, Championship, Div 1 and Div 2.....getting a trial is not hard.

Of these 3% are signed up.

Of these only 3% ever get more than 3 years pay from football.

So before you pay someone to get you a trial consider this.
Did Viduka, Kewell or Emerton have to pay for a trial in England/Europe?

And also what is in it for the guy "recommending you?"
