Quite, I hadn't heard of him until today. | |

Quite, I didnt mention Johnson merely as his fall was due to being a disgusting nonce rather than becoming crap at footie, you are quite right though. | |

Still would only make 3 relative successes in the England side (Milner & Walcott being the other 2). | | | |
Players that fell from grace on 14:28 - Jan 19 with 3591 views | The_Major | Happens at club level as well though. There's occasions when we've seen storming debuts, and then they never live up to the hype thereafter. I remember thinking we'd uncovered the new Garrincha during a hattrick scored against Watford in the ZDS by, er, David Gregory. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Jet is another curious one isn't he - I think his problems were all in the noggin as the lad clearly had some natural talent- i just don't think he pushed himself to reach it. Interestingly he is now playing for a Thai division 2 club. [Post edited 19 Jan 2019 14:50]

Jet was a five aside beach player. Technically as good as it gets, but bizarrely clueless about team tactics and game management. | |

Brennan Haynes These are three who sort of made it, but the promise seemed much more. Every club is littered with them, especially those who bang in goals for fun at youth level, then don't seem to recognise a goal frame when they step up. Hope that Ben Morris turns out better than that. | |

10 professional clubs by the age of 28....and only one of them has ever paid money for him. | | | |

Think it didn't help him that, even at youth level, he never really nailed down a position so he just didn't really seem to know how to play an actual role in an actual team. | |

Probably didnt do him any favours, shame really, definitely had the potentiall to be one hell of a player | |

The JET of West Ham at home when we done them 5-2 was different class. Bags of talent but just lacking in the ability to find any king of consistency. | |

There was often 10 minutes in a match, total not consecutive minutes, when JET looked like he had it all and was worth the entrance money alone. I think as stated above, he had the natural talent but not the instinct or mental side of the game. I still loved watching him at times. I also give you Stuart Slater, not JET levels of disapointment but he looked like he would be a world beater early in his career, and even when Lyall brought him here I was seriously excited. | |

He started again when the family moved back to the midlands. I would suggest he just ran out of interest again but it pays his bills. His Dad was a decent keeper too, understudy to Peter Shilton at Forest and also went to a derby for a while. | | | |

Unfortunately we have had two who have banged goals in at youth level and senior level in Marriot and Rhodes and not reaped the benefits I suppose Morris is the next great hope although Folami and Lankester could both be decent as well | |
