Saw Matt Jansen when he was just breaking through at Carlisle - seemed to have immense potential. Ruined by injuries unfortunately.

Not that he counts as a flop, but I remember watching Tevez score a hat trick for Argentina years back and thinking he could match the real Ronaldo.

Olympics if I recall.

I saw Thomas Ince in a youth cup game and he was a class above. I was sure he'd make it somewhere. What's he doing now?

Struggling at Hull City.

IIRC they tore it up for France at some youth WC and were mean to be the best young players on the planet.

Le Tallec had cornrows once as well...

still ridiculed by by my mate when I said Tony Le T would be better than Ronaldo.
