Players Who Spunked Their Careers Away

I was just watching highlights of when we sent Leeds down and a young Alan Smith was playing. I seem to remember him being an excellent young player who got his big move then couldn't be fucked.

 

Very much like our own Michael Ricketts. The second he made his millions that was it wasn't it, couldn't be arsed any more.

 

How many others are there?

funnily enough signed for Accrington Stanley today, managed by none other than Leam Richardson.

Injuries did not help Smith, nor did signing for Man U.

A combination of Ferguson and a bad injury ruined Smith.

 

He went to United as a very decent young striker, then Fergie decided that as he needed a centre mid he would sacrifice Smith and try and turn him into one. Add that to the broken leg he got that put him out for a long time and his career was never the same.

I once told Stan Collymore he could've been a great player if he hadn't been such a cock.

He didn't disagree.

Darius Vassel.

 

One minute hes playing for England...

 

The next hes wandering round Turkey with his Guitar and suitcase trying to find a somewhere to stay as his club MKE Ankaragücü had cancelled his contract without telling him and he got booted out of his hotel because the club had cancelled his account.

Banned from the Ladbrokes in Atherton apparently.

He chose cash though didn't he, hence he's currently fucking around in the middle-east on around £150K per week

Banned from the Ladbrokes in Atherton apparently.

 

I thought he had his own stool there.

Frank Worthington

Fair play to him for carrying on.

 

Fuck knows what the Stanley boys make when he turns up in a Ferrari or whatever twatmobile he's got.

 

Paul Wheatcroft, Man Utd->Bolton->David Lloyd. What a cock.

 

John o'Kane

 

Munchen, Everton, Bolton and last seen about 5 years ago twitching his shoulder for Hyde, whilst still pretty young

Banned from the Ladbrokes in Atherton apparently.

That's why he's banned, didn't want to miss the 2:20 at Uttoxoter, had the turtle's yed, so he dropped his FUBU shellpants...

 

Without being facetious, how is his DJ'ing? I use the term loosely as, judging from his attire he probably played the 'Can I get a rewind? And a bottle of ropey champagne...' type of music, but, hopefully this hasn't gone tits up as well - never did get the vitriol some had in reserve for him, perhaps because he got the chance and seemingly spunked it away?

Gazza and a host of others deserve honourable mentions (Henrik Larsson?) for opting for semi-retirement north of the border, when arguably in their prime. Not exactly completely 'spunking away', but a waste of their talents in my opinion.
