Think there was a lad at Manchester City called Michael Johnson or something. Looked a good prospect but think he put on some clem and was never heard of again

He was weighing in at 16clem or something when he was still on books at Man City.sure he was getting 40k a week.
Didn't we sell some pie eater to Hartlepool? Luscombe possibly?

Quit football and wanted to be a regular bloke instead

Aye Nathan Luscombe. Really unlucky with injuries and had an addiction to Coca-Cola (really) which meant he couldn't keep the weight off. Met him a few times when he played for Celtic Nation in the northern league over here and he was spot on. Mlf too.
 
Adam Johnson

Believe it or not that wasnt what I had in mind when i added the not about this part to my OP. I was thinking of former Brazilian defender Breno who suffered cruciate knee ligament damage whilst at Bayern and then depression led to him setting fire to his house and eventually led to four? Years in jail. Was touted as the next best thing.

I wanted players that simply had no excuse to play as little as they did.

Sounds like he had plenty of reasons tbf

Name sounds familiar. Unsure about the weight thing but we shipped a few young players off to pools over the years.

Looked a real talent then had tough luck with injuries. Works at Comet in the Trafford Centre now

Seems such a shame since he was highly thought of for the future. Makes you wonder if the pressure got to him or something.
