Players whose careers just disappeared

I withdraw my statement your honour! ;-)

Ruel Fox

See.... you are getting hang of it! Ruel Fox! Another blast from the past!

I seem to him playing out his final days in the WBA yo-yo team of the early noughties. Pretty respectable and not too obscure.

I might be wrong though.

I remember as a boy being struck at just how dark his skin was. I'd never seen anything quite like it before and I'm not sure I have since.

The £1 million someone paid for Lee Croft! Where is that £1million?

Could've been. Canä really remember. However he was widely thought to be on the road to become world class winger. I think Tottenham paid something like 5m (How times change!) for him. And that was LOADS of money back then.

jack wilshere?

seriously though (and not quite on topic....)

i remember as a kid reading an article in 90 minutes about jamie forrester & kevin sharp who had just joined the youth ranks at auxerre - the piece made them out to be the future of english football. sadly, things didn't really work out for them but they both managed to have OKish careers in the lower league unlike cherno samba and sonny pike....

Cherno Samba, literally became the worlds best player on Championship Manager 4 haha. they got that one wrong

Sean Dundee and Eric Meijer (liverpool)
Buster phillips
Bernard Diomede
Salif Diao
Marian Pahars

[Crossie]

Tony Yeboah

?????
This guy for me is exact opposite of what is being looked at this topic. If my memory serves me he was close to 30 when he signed from Leeds having slowly built his career from African leagues via Germany. I remember he went back to Germany after his spell with Leeds and still did it and I'm almost 100% certain he was past 30 by that time.

Alright keep your knickers on son. Sorry if my post doesn't conform to your thread rules!

That type of response discourages people from bothering to post anything on here because you act like only what you say is right.

On Danny Allsopp, he's actually done quite well for himself between MLS and A-League

[Dubciteh]

Played with my mate at dundee utd a couple of seasons ago, still floating around lower leagues.

Barry Conlon anyone? Brian Kerr(ex irish manager) on the radio talkin about some underage ireland games involving damien duff and they all seemed to involve conlon scoring a few goals!

Richard Wright
Richard Edghill
Danny Granville
MarK Kennedy
Michael Branch

Michael Branch is an excellent example. I was thinking of players who've played at the top level, got tipped for stardom and then disappeared of the charts. Danny Cadamarteri is a similar case.

Mark Kennedy got a job as an undercover cozzer pretending to be an eco-warrior - and nailing a few of them in the process.

Spooky...i was halfway reading your post and thought "cadamarteri" then lo and behold!....er....michael bridges?
