Archive: Meet Bournemouth's Alex Scott - Guernsey's Grealish (from October 2023)

When Alex Scott came on to make his Guernsey debut against Phoenix Sports in front of 55 people in 2019, his manager at the time promised "there's more to come from this boy".

That was probably a bit of an understatement.

Now aged 22 and a Premier League regular with Bournemouth, the midfielder has just received his first call-up to the senior England squad.

His rise from non-league prodigy in the eighth tier of English football to potential international star is a proper throwback, a story rarely told in the modern game.
