what is common is how many players are tipped as being excellent prospects, but down to attitude they never make it..

another name to the above (and i'm not saying this is due to his attitude)

Kirk Yeaman - looked like a world beater 3 years ago, and due to injuries and hammering the gym, never really kicked on, still may do though.

danny tickle - again looked a cracking prospect, but ended up average.

another saints lad - michael loughlin, remember him tearing it up in the reserves, never played first team

unfortunately there are far too many who are touted, but never make it

Didnt we have a look at and turn down Offiah when he was still at Rosslyn Park?

yes, murphy turned him down.

Goulding will be more than likely get added to this list. One of the most highly rated young players has just never stepped up. I hope he does though.

From Megabucks signings through to local lads who I remember signing in a blaze of expected glory! (all clubs)
