Wednesday Players We Thought Were Going To Be World Beaters.


Recommended Posts

 

Dalian Atkinson.

A player who had everything and could and should have had his choice of clubs in World Football he had that much potential. 

 

Some players are a flash in the pan. Hit a purple patch which make us think they're better than they are in reality. 

 

But Dalian was the real thing.  He just never applied himself fully.

Not so much a flash in the pan as a waste of a genuine top drawer talent.

Think Dalian liked his beer women and song. Was a talent though.

Him and Hirst also. 

 

Imagine what could have been if we’d kept those two together longer and they would have looked after their bodies better.

Definitely, a potential major star, and a decent bloke, but someone who was easily led by a dubious choice of friends

In the early days I thought Mark Beevers was destined for the Top. Decent defensively and good on the ball. He's still played at a decentish level but never made the premier league which I thought he would when he first broke through into our team.
