And in a very similar way, Peter Marinelo just a few years earlier at Arsenal. | | | |

Yeah, very good player for us but neither the goal machine he appeared to be in the youth team nor the player that Ferguson allegedly bid £1m for [when £1m was worth something]. I think might have been different but of for his injury. One of a run of similar players for us: Bradley Allen, Gallen, Dichio and Dougie Freedman. Allen had a striking partner called Kevin Kingsmore who was tearing up trees in the youth team and never even made it into the first team. | | | |
Strikers - Their Promise faded away on 21:32 - Mar 5 with 3129 views | MrSheen | Kluivert - good call! As the memory of his brief Ajax days faded, it was a case of, why do people bother? Fowler and Owen scored tons of goals, but peaked before they were 25. Compare with someone like Pippo Inzaghi, who without ever looking much of a player, was scoring goals to win trophies into his late 30s. David Nugent? Robbie Keane? Signed by Inter as a teenager, but no more than a streak player afterwards. Ade Akinbyi! | | | |

Totally agree on Rooney, nowhere near the player he looked capable of becoming. Kevin Campbell springs to mind. Scored ridiculous amounts of goals in Arsenal's youth team but was never prolific at senior level. Gallen also. Even before the injury he had become more of a 10-15 goal a season player than the free scoring goal machine of his younger years. | | | |
