Two players who enjoyed successful loan spells with South West club's earlier in their careers have been called up for Stuart Pearce's Team GB Olympic squad.
Tottenham Hotspur's Steven Caulker, who spent the 2009-10 season on loan at Yeovil Town, and Swansea City's Scott Sinclair who enjoyed a successful loan stint with Plymouth Argyle during the 2006-07 campaign, have both been selected in Pearce's 18 man squad which will face group matches against Senegal, UAE and Uruguay.
Defender Caulker made his debut for the Glovers on August 8th 2009 against Tranmere Rovers and went from strength to strength thereafter and, at the end of the campaign, he virtually swept the board at the club's Player of the Year presentations.
Since leaving Huish Park, Caulker has experienced successful loan periods at Bristol City and at Swansea City last season in the Swans inaugural Premier League campaign. He has received international recognition with the England Under-21 side.
Sinclair arrived at Home Park in the 2006-07 when the then Pilgrims' boss, Ian Holloway, signed him on loan from Chelsea.
He made an immediate impact with Argyle and scored in his second appearance for the Pilgrims in an FA Cup fourth round tie against Barnet with a stunning solo effort. Sinclair followed this feat by scoring the winning goal in their fifth round match with Derby County, which helped Argyle to reach the last eight of the competition for the first time since 1984.
During his stay with the Pilgrims, he scored four times in 18 games in all competitions before he was loaned out to QPR, Charlton Athletic, Crystal Palace, Birmingham City and Wigan Athletic before signing permanently for Swansea in August 2010.
In addition to this, he has been capped seven times by England at Under-21 level and has scored once.
The 18 man squad also features a number of the UK's top young prospects including Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey, Manchester United's Tom Cleverley and Chelsea's Daniel Sturridge. Ryan Giggs, Craig Bellamy and Micah Richards have been chosen as the three over-age players allowed by each side.
