Who was the 17/18 y.o. they signed yonks ago and basically denied him a career ? at the time they signed him from either Millwall or Blackburn and he then rotted in the reserves, they signed him to stop anyone else getting him.


Michael Owen... given that he hasn't really performed or retained any kind of fitness or 1st team run since he left them.
 

He was an Oldham player.
Neil somebody I think???

Scratch Neil, it was Wayne Harrison I was thinking off. Supposed to have been the new wonder kid at 18yo. Went to RS and rotted without ever playing.

Harrison was on the verge of a seat on the substitutes' bench when, in a bizarre accident, he crashed through a greenhouse and, with the local ambulance service on strike at the time, all but died through loss of blood before the back-up Army medics could rush him to hospital.

Ah, but fate was not finished with young master Harrison; thereafter he endured a series of serious injuries - double hernia, cartilage, knee, shoulder - returning from each new operation determined to fulfil his destiny. Then, in the last reserve game of the season against Bradford City in May 1990, he collided with the goalkeeper, shattering the cruciate ligaments in his knee; the damage was irrepairable. After 23 football-related operations, Dalglish's successor at Anfield, Graeme Souness, gently explained the details of the medical prognosis. At 22, and without playing a first-team game for Liverpool after his £250,000 transfer, Harrison's football career was over.

Sad tale really.
 

Very sad tale about that harrison lad just goes to show no matter your talent your career is always in the lap of the Gods. There was an excellent interview with Paul Lake on talksport talking about his experiences today too. There's countless players who had the ability but not the luck with injuries. Unfortunately i cant be bothered thinking of examples so content yourselves with Joe Parkinson and Owen hargreaves and trust im right.
