From the dizzy heights of the super league dream team 2007, and the sky commentators creaming his name every 10 seconds.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_League_Dream_Team
To the dizzy lows of agreeing terms with Swinton Lions
www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... ml&BID=480
This got me thinking, who is the most high profile player (at the time of being high profile!!) to go to being a low grade, low paid player who people soon forget.
FWIW I always thought of Penny as a decent finisher, but that was it. Alround he wasnt as good as most made out.

| If you pop onto that well known video networking site and search "Kevin Penny TRY and mistake" you will find a video that shows Penny's finest moment and high point of his career, followed by the act that destroyed it. And, both took place in the same match.

Didn't he suffer a bad injury that caused his downfall?
