Brian Clough.  Most of his goals were scored in the old second division and he got crocked before he had a real chance to shine in the first.

I did a search to find this topic again - on the subject of players who burst onto the scene then faded down the leagues and gone - after reading that one time Aston Villa's young sensation Lee Hendrie is without a club now after being released by Derby - training with Reading hoping to be offered something.

Yes Keith he was on soccer am on Saturday, I found that a strange outcome for such a quality young player, Helen Chamberlin phoned the Torquay manager live on air to get him a trial/game

Tom

Players who came in at the top and faded away. I think your suggestion is exactly the opposite to that

With respect Keith, the caption was " Players Who Had a Huge Future - Then Didn't". With his scoring record behind him, Brian could have had a huge future in the first division if he hadn't had his serious injury.

I saw Vinny Samways in Las Palmas! Not many British players end up playing there
