Re: Murdoch: how I changed football
Due to FA rules clubs can only sign English players as schoolboys if they live in the catchment area round the club.
Players 12 and under must be living within an hours travelling distance from the club and players aged 13-16 must live less than 90 minutes away.

So if Arsene, for example, wanted to sign a 14 year old who lived in Liverpool he wouldn't be allowed but he would have no problems signing a 14 year old from France or Spain.
