Flash in the pan footballers


Micheal Ricketts. Bolton and England. Quite possibly the worst ever England player. One dimensional at best and even that dimension was shit.
Djimi Traore. Liverpool full back who was quite possible the worst player ever to win a champion league winners.medal right place right time

Harry Kane, obvs, but what other footballers announced themselves as the next superstar only to fizzle out almost immediately?

Example: Tony Yeboah. Scored one absolute screamer that almost broke the crossbar, found himself in loads of people's fantasy teams, then proceeded to do fuck all else of note for the rest of his career
Scored more than one absolute screamer.



 
Michu has to be the ultimate flash in the pan. For 2 seasons he was an elite goalscorer, for the rest he was average.
 
Disagree with the Macheda shouts, he scored a belter of a 90th minute winner that was pivotal in a title win fair enough but a ball hitting him and going in aside he never did owt or looked anything special, just another player with the man United hype who never actually did enough to warrant being a ‘flash’

Roque Santa Cruz first season at Blackburn, was genuinely as good as any number 9 in the league that season, only showed fleeting promise at Bayern beforehand and nothing like it ever again after
 
Eggbert Bacon, couldn't handle a grilling from his manager so scrambled away to a small fry club where he was the big cheese ..in truth i thought he made a meal of it, but in the end his career was toast.,
