ahhh yes players who did nothing relatively speaking despite you/I rating them... that was it right?
if you don't think Rabbits and Vautin getting excited about a player influenced yours or others thinking at the time then you're thicker than the bricks that hold my house together*.

The quickest fall from grace was Justin Ryder.
Hit firstgrade with a bang and his hard running and elusive style coupled with crunching defence saw him being declared the next big thing within a few games in firstgrade - then someone put up a bomb and everytone in RL saw he couldn't get his 5'6" frame an inch off the ground and couldn't catch the ball anyway.
That was the end of him.
He went from future rep player to a guy not worth a run in PL in the time it took for firstgrade coaches around the country to write down he was hopeless under a high ball.
The end of him? my point was there was never really a start to him - it was because he had a cool nickname according to Ch9 that you even took notice - he was never anything other than a nickname and an ok finisher.
I still can't figure out where you got the rep talk from...
but given i'm an idiot apparently... I certainly won't figure it out with a reasonable explanation.
all class champ... all class.
* but in saying that the bricks that do hold my house together aren't all that thick so... you might be a genius for all i know.
