One of the best managers ever in the lower division, prides himself in bringing youth players through the system with Crewe for 30 yrs. :ayatollah:

Some great players have come through Crewe however they go through periods where no great players come through.

Gradi modelled Crewe on Ajax when he joined and he personally oversaw a huge proportion of the coaching to ensure that all teams played with same principles.
