Players Who Had a Huge Future - Then Didn't

What about Mark Kennedy at Liverpool?

I think he was the most expensive teenager ever when he signed but has been a "journeyman" ever since.

Saw him for a couple of years at Man City and on his day - brilliant - BUT - like lots of wingers he had too many games where he didn't fancy it.

I 've seen so many wingers who seem to be beaten before the game kicks off because they don't fancy themselves against the full back - it just makes you realise how much confidence makes in the mix.

Jimmy Muir, what a player he was. Came from nowhere into the Sheff United side and scord the winner in the final. Never head from him since.

I love that about the British. A player turns on a six pence or shows a turn of pace and we compare them to greats. 'The new Pele...Best...Moore...

Alberto Tarantini came to my club (Birmingham) in the late 70's.
