The Joy of Six: football's lost talents

[La Parka]

Kieron Dyer? Jokes aside when he was on form he was devasting. Real waste of talent, could easily have been an england regular had he put his mind to it, especiallty when Scholes looked to be on the way out.

 

Same with Bowyer, and to a lesser extent, Alan Smith.

 

Definitely Bowyer, he was really good at leeds making those lates runs into the box, not sure about Smith though, though he was definitely a good player im not sure he had the talent to be considered potentially great.

 

Ronaldihno is antoher player who could be a bit of a waste. He was entirely responsible for Barcelona becoming champions agains after so many years with his outrageous talent, and even though he's still good, i think he definitely has/had the potential to be one of the worlds greatest.

 

Aye, Adriano threw it all away, Ronaldinho needs to sort himself out, a lot of bad press about his lifestyle especially when you compare him to Kaka who seems to have a good head.

 

Can we chuck Gazza in here? I really don't think he got near his potential.

Adriano-great shout. Has everything as a striker, would have him at nufc in a second. Gazza is a given, outrageous talent, should of taken him to WC98. Shame how its all fallen apart so badly for him.
