Players that never fulfilled their potential

[Bungle]

Which players did you watch when they were younger and have high hopes for, only for them to not hit the heights you expected.

I remember thinking Danny Cadamarteri was gonna be amazing, same with Michael Branch as well, but alas it didn't happen.

I also saw Bolasie a few years back in a little documentary where football focus followed him, talked well and looked a really exciting prospect, could have been our very own African Messi but instead he's fallen well short and we got hit hard with his transfer fee.

I remember the excitement when Vaughan scored against Palace, thought he'd be brilliant, then suffered injuries. I think he then came back in a game against Bolton and then got battered again after charging about like a loon.

I still keep an eye out for him now and wish him well.

David Smallman when we bought him from Wrexham.

Billy Kenny.

He was an amazing footballer, a dominant midfielder who had it all

Tony Grant
Michael Branch
John Lundstram
JP Kissock
Billy Kenny
Danny Cadamateri
Jack Rodwell

Edit- @Eggs who is the striker who looked the part in the Dallas Cup a few seasons ago and went on loan to Southport and got released. You said you weren't convinced and picked out Benni ( both counts true ) whilst I and others thought we had a bit of a decent striker on our hands which didn't happen

Stefan Rehn, he had it all, left foot, right foot. Shame he couldn't kick a football properly with either of them. RIP
