Of all the images that stuck with Chelsea fans after they were crowned winners of the Champions League in Porto, it was the beaming smiles of Mason Mount and Reece James clutching the trophy that stood out.
Two players that were every bit made at Cobham. Talent nurtured, patience shown and both now stand as bonafide first team stars.
Academy stars making the grade is often high up a supporter's priority list at clubs at every level but when Chelsea have so many resources, so many leading talents, supporters are itching to see them thrown in.
