Football's stars of 2003
Around the Academy:

Will the next David Beckham emerge in 2003?
Which young footballer will shine in 2003? The Sport Academy picks two stars of the future.


James Milner

He's been the talk of the football world since scoring two goals in two games for Leeds - and making history in the process.

Leeds star James Milner
His Boxing Day goal against Sunderland made him the youngest scorer in Premiership history, and his brilliant strike against Chelsea just three days later showed once again what an exciting talent he is.

A Leeds lad through and through, Milner is already a favourite with the fans, and has played a starring role in their recent winning run.

2003 looks to be full of promise for the young midfielder, who is already being talked of as a future star.


Michael Dawson

Nottingham Forest's young defensive star is loving life in Division One.

But good news travels fast and some top Premiership clubs are reportedly interested in buying him.

Nottingham Forest's Michael Dawson
Not only is he a rock at the back, but Dawson has also managed to score a couple of goals this season as well!

Aged just 19, Dawson is playing a major part in Forest's push for promotion, and is a firm favourite with the City Ground fans.

England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson is also a fan.

He called Dawson up for England's training camp last November, where he joined up with the likes of Michael Owen and David Beckham.
