Great players who never leave smaller clubs

[sedling]

Charlie Wyke?

 

[Tonton Zola Moukoko]

He was in the England squad in the 1990 World Cup.

He wasn't included because Bobby Robson was feeling generous.

On the pitch when Platt scored i think.

 

[Maravilla]

Totti

Way back when players had no choice. In the days of the max wage they stayed put unless the club said otherwise. Jimmy Armfield was wanted by Man Utd and Blackpool never even let him talk to them and just said 'your not going'. Heard this in an interview a few years back. The journo asked him if he felt cheated by that and he said it was just before the Munich air crash and he was pally with a lot of those lads and that maybe he got lucky.

 

[Dennis]

Akinfeev

 

[Geronimo]

Le Twattier

 

[Boinger]

Steve Bull.

Bit of a stretch that.

 

[Ciro_DiMarzio]

Totti

Good shout.

 

[woodlebert]

He got a European Cup winners medal, should have been capped by England

But he wasn’t

 

[Dennis]

Di Natale?

 

[woodlebert]

Totti

Nah. One club man who wouldn’t have worked elsewhere

Think Le Tissier is the answer .. . anyone now who makes a first team appearance by the age of 17 is snapped up by one of the Champions League Finalists.

Le Tissier was so, so good ... he really should have left Southampton .... to Fergies Man United ??

I think he was a bit of a one trick pony. It was a f***ing good trick though.
