Players that were class when young but got crap as they got older?

Gary Shaw - injured so unfortunate
Gary Owen- don’t know what happened after he left Citeh but looked excellent at one time
Vince Hilaire- was once the next big thing at Palace @TheRey ?
Clive Allen
Aye, couple decades before my time but I don't know a single Palace fan from that era that doesn't love Vince!
 
Berahino a good shout. Stoke paid big big money for him and he did nothing for them.

A combination of their own danny Graham, Rodwell and Ndong.

Never scored, stunk the place out for years drawing massive wages, and I'm sure he went AWOL at some point
 
To be fair about Giggs, when he arrived at 16 or 17 he looked like the new Best. Tricks, dribbling around players etc. Then he developed into a less flashy, more direct winger.
 
owen was in boozer night before league cup final, canny bloke, said to him I can remember when you were average. :D
When you think about which top class players in those days enjoyed a drink it's scary. Puts me in mind of Bob Newton [Hartlepool] who used to go for a beer before games in a nearby pub & Stan Bowles who used to do his pre-match in the bookies!
