Mat's perobably already done it. I recall doing it in another place a while ago, when the resident Rhino fekkwit on TotalRL was making one of his usual dumbass posts, but never kept the workings. I do remember making him look an even bigger prat than he normally does though when he attempted to take the pee out of our "retirement home" overseas signings, and I proved that the average age of Leeds' overseas signings was actually rather more than that of ours!'"
did it at beginning of season so I knew facts were correct. just found txt file with data in and updated to replace hyde with southernwood. figures are as folows:-
ages at start of 2010 season.
dave halley 23
stuart reardon 28
chris nero 29
paul sykes 28
rikki sheriffe 25
brett kearney 26
matt orford 32
nick scruton 25
wayne godwin 27
andy lynch 30
glenn hall 28
steve menzies 36
jamie langley 26
craig kopczak 23
heath l'estrange 24
danny sculthorpe 30
james donaldson 19
michael platt 25
michael worrincy 24
elliot whitehead 20
jason crookes 19
tom olbison 18
cain southernwood 18
steve crossley 20
tom burgess 17
george burgess 17
andy tate 18
duane straugheir 20
total age = 645
average age = 23
no doubt someone will pipe up that the burgii,tate and straugheir are all pulling our figure down when they werent really in 1st team contention. if you only calculate the figure based on the players who've actually featured this year for 1st team ( so remove those 4 and sculthorpe) then it only rises to 23.6 and thats totally ignoring finigan ( including him and it goes down to 23.4). must have been a long off season last year for me to bother typing these out and saving them.
From memory leeds average squad age was about 2 years older.
