Re: City players who never fulfilled there potential?

Was going to say Gary Mason (remember him!?)

But TERRY DUNFIELD!!! - played that last game of the season for the first team against Chelsea I think, and looked quality, composed on the ball. Then never saw him again

Re: City players who never fulfilled there potential?

Nedum Onuoha without a doubt. I think he's 24 now but I remember as an 18 year old breaking through he was going to be something special. I think his amazing athleticism carried him in the juniors whch may have overshadowed the fact he is not thechnically a world beater. I really don't want to wrire him off just yet though.

Definately Lee Croft as well, I heard a stat that he was the most capped player ever at England youth level? Don't know if anyone can verify.

I recon Robbie Fowler as well under KK. If he had got himself into good shape, he really could have been fantastic for City. I was so excited when we signed him, gutted it didn't work out. Him and Anelka in their pomp would have been something to behold!!!

Stephen Elliot and Paddy McCarthy also under in Pearce era...not to mention Georgios Samaras. Hang on, this thread is for never filled there potential - Sorry he must of slipped in from my complete waste of space list!

Joey Barton instantly springs to mind. Could have been brilliant but spent all his developing years beating the crap out of people and being a hobby shite instead of getting his head down and focussing on developing his game.

Unfortunately I get the feeling this thread, when resurrected years down the line, will contain the name 'Michael Johnson'. :-(
