Cheese Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Always thought Derek Riordan had enormous potential. 2 great feet, could score some spectacular goals. A massive waste of talent and a massive waster too. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConcernedReferee Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Tony Watt seems like a get out but that's my final answer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Manhattan Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) It's not quite in the spirit of the nomination, but after scoring a debut hat trick against Hibs after coming on as a second half substitute (and it was basically the exact same goal three times) there was really nowhere else for the diminutive David Ferrere to go after that but down.

lennyzer0 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 It depends if you mean actual potential as demonstrated on the pitch, or that weird virtual potential which seems to accrue to occasional random (usually Old Firm) youngsters before they've really played for the first team much. In the first basket, I'd put Derek Riordan, as good a striker and as much of a wasted talent as I've ever seen in Scotland, and in the second the likes of Islam Feruz and Karamoko Dembélé (though to be fair, the latter seems to be getting some game time for Brest in Ligue 1, so he may yet come good) who were both touted as world beaters in the press, but never significantly broke into the Celtic first team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJF Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Maybe Danny Wilson. Burst on the scene as a teenager at Rangers and was playing very well. Got a move to Liverpool but never kicked on from there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar_Army Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Not sure where Ryan Gauld would be in this. Great we player who was unfortunate to be tagged the ,"Mini Messi". Obviously he was never going to reach those heights but when he moved to Portugal i had hope he would reach new heights. Still carving out a ecent career abroad but unlikely to ever play for Scotland or a really high profile team now. There is definitely a talent footballer there but I feel he has not hit the height that his early footballing talent promised (ignore the press hype). Agree with Riordem comments. According to Jim McLean Ralph Milne was on of the most naturally gifted players he ever saw. Just don't tell Man U fans that though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) I was no fan of Jack Wilshere's glass ankles which held the rest of him back from a potentially decent career. The loose mental screw would have arguably just about fallen on the side of asset rather than liability. EDIT: hadn't spotted this was under the 'Scottish Premiership General' thread - we've all just had a month of Englanding on the telly ffs.

Stylish Kid Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Probably Riordan. I a paltry 2 Scotland caps? A wasted career. Really difficult to judge with really young players - e.g. Ferusz. I would suggest him on account of just how much his career has bombed - I think partially sue to his attitude? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 JET was absolutely outstanding on his debut for us, looked like a properly classy player. Regressed into inexplicably hopeless pretty quickly after. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alert Mongoose Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Eoin Jess is the one that comes to mind for me but I didn't really follow his career after he left Scottish football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford Bridge Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Kevin McCann looked like he could be as good as Steven Whittaker when he first broke through. Unfortunately he just seemed to always be injured for the rest of his career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kapowzer Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 It’s always a journo or smoke blowing manager that coins a player in one game after a better one elsewhere. Simon Donnelly was the new Dalgleish, Gauld as conveyed was mini Messi. If they don’t get anywhere close it’s not as if it was ever a cert. Got a lot of sympathy for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
