Youth Players Who Didn't Fulfil Their Potential

[Raino85]

Was going to put a lot more but it only let me give a certain amount of options so I put the most likely in there

[Sinski]

Didn't have enough room for Billy Kenny???

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

I'm adamant that Vaughan would've been England's number 9 had it not been for injuries - he looked to have everything needed

I voted for Rodwell though as even though he's been unlucky with injuries himself he just didn't have the drive required to go along with his physical attributes

 

[Huyton Layne]

Ball and Vaughan are disappointing because of bad injuries at a very young age. Both could have been top class imo

Leandro Rodriguez

Jack Rodwell? Premier league player. Every youth team player dreams of that.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

Ryan Ledson

Didn't have enough room for Billy Kenny???

Kenny is the one for me as well mate. Immense talent absolutely wasted due to his private life.

 

[Ashtonian]

thats a very odd poll.

answer is every one of them?!

 

[Blue 1]

Surely none of them fulfilled their potential. That's why they're on that list.

Rodwell .. Too many injuries

Someone "fix" the title. That will drive me bonkers...

This is a tough one. Hard to decide on players that have played/are playing in the top-flight. (i.e. Jeffers, Ball and Rodwell), it could be argued that they have fulfilled some potential as they have been/are living the dream. And conversely those that are playing in the lower leagues, was there any potential for them to play at a higher level in the first place other than our hopes as blue-noses.
