Unfortunately, mainly due to injuries, Dean Macey never became the great decathelete he could have been.

Anyway, Alex 'Hurricane' Higgins was another one who could have done better.

Lee Westwood, just throwing him name out there
Howard Gayle. Better than John Barnes, FASTER than John Barnes but was never given enough of a chance in the team due to the stifling racism that ran through football at the time. And Howie's self respect wouldn't allow him to accept what he was being told to succumb to. He stood up for himself every step of the way but it cost him his place in history. We remember you though, Howie. We'll never forget you.

Wasn't someone else saying they hadn't read the whole thread properly before posting?

I have a friend who says Robin Friday was the best Reading player he ever saw. I think there was even a book written about him called The Best Player You Never Saw. He drank lots, sometimes before the game. I think he also took drugs, and died in his 30s.

I saw a documentary years ago about a young Leicester City football player from Ireland who was touted as being as good as Gary Lineker. He was arrested as a suspected IRA terrorist on a a visit home, had a confession beaten out of him and was locked up for a long time. Years later his conviction was quashed and he was deemed innocent. I can't remember his name and my google search turned up nothing. Didn't do his football career any good.
