Tuna Posted 8 October 2017 Posted 8 October 2017 I remember thinking what a player Ishmael Miller was when he first signed for West Brom, full of pace and power and scored some excellent goals. He's barely 30 and hasn't played since 3 sub appearances for Bury last season. J'Lloyd Samuel is another who I'm sure was in one of the England squads in the early noughties and was a premier league regular for most of his career, he's 36 now so is probably finished but he ended up playing for 4 years in Iran after leaving Bolton in 2011. Any footballers you remember who just went into obscurity?
bovril Posted 8 October 2017 Posted 8 October 2017 Michael Ricketts. Thought he'd be the new Emile Heskey.
Durnerz Posted 8 October 2017 Posted 8 October 2017 Ryan Smith - what a player he was for us. Thought he'd be the next big thing.
The Doctor Posted 8 October 2017 Posted 8 October 2017 Whatever happened to Niall Ranger? Sky banged on about him like he was the second coming on his debut vs us.

I remember him tearing Sheffiield United apart in their promotion year. I thought we'd climb the leagues with him, Hume and Hammond firing on all cylinders.

Yeah I recall him falling out with Levein at Brighton away, said he was ill but was made to play anyway if memory serves me correctly.

Tielemans63 Posted 8 October 2017 Posted 8 October 2017 Jonny Stevenson looked like he was going to be a talent as did Ashley Chambers.

Nalis Posted 8 October 2017 Posted 8 October 2017 Michu after that great season at Swansea. Marco Negri in the 90s after his brilliant seasons at Rangers.
Lineker's Left Foot Posted 8 October 2017 Posted 8 October 2017 Brighton’s Mike Small and Bryan Small for Villa. Duncan Shearer at Blackburn or even the prolific David Currie at Barnsley and Oldham
