In Real Life Bostock won a place in the club's academy aged 7, beating off competition from 200 other candidates. He made his league debut on 29 October 2007 at the age of 15.
He has also captained England at Under-17 level and now Bostock has been named in the England U17 for a tournament including Italy northern Ireland and turkey. There has been a lot of talk about him leaving palace but apparently they aren’t going to sell for any amount of money. He has been nicknamed “the boy Barcelona can‘t afford”.
In Football Manager '08 Bostock’s stats aren’t great at the start but bear in mind that he is only 15!
This is what carlos said about him after I bought him!
