Diehard Liverpool fan. Morrison is easily the best player at youth level I’ve ever seen. Joe Cole was mental before his fifa street flair was coached out of him but Morrison was sublime. He did stuff players don’t even dare to dream of doing. First team players went to watch their games in numbers, to see him play. Just think about that for a moment.
He signed for Derby County under Rooney and he was no problem at all, he responded to Rooney and the crowd and whilst at Derby he was first class scoring some great goals and displaying sublime skill, then it was a shame he followed Rooney to play in the USA instead he should have stayed at Derby as the fans adored him.
I know someone who played with him during his time with England U16s. To this day, he says he easily could of went on to being in the worlds elite, but he was uncontrollable. Apparently it was so bad that players didn't want to joke with him for fear he'd take it the wrong way.
They didn't want to spend the money. TLC, comfortable surroundings and stability etc is all he needed. They do it with the foreign talent - throw enough money at the problem, surround him with good people, keep him away from the night life, the problems soon dissipate. What they did was mask the symptoms and make the problem worse in the end with false hope. Ferguson obviously has some guilt about the situation.
As far as I know every single club he went to provided him with stability and only signed him after he promised to sort himself out. He always failed within days and it was always because his ''friends'' from Manchester followed him everywhere. To compound things he very rarely showed up for training, even when with England. This was all Ravel's doing pal, not the clubs. @@rickenfatania
Watching this and the video about Nile Ranger one thing they have in common is the absence of a father figure in their lives. Many people succeed in life in the same situation sonits not an excuse but it seems to have had an impact on both players
Perfect example is Adriano he could’ve been the greatest footballer in the world but when his dad passed he completely fell off even Zlatan said he was an animal.
I became obsessed with him as a player, when i saw some of his youth club highlights back in 13/14, but i could never find enough footage or enough on his story (other than a couple articles of his recent bump ins with the law). so to come back and find a whole 30min video on him was a real treat, and also serves as closure lmao. thanks for this !

We find excuses for our actions instead of taking responsibility ?

@@sponish0 You have a misunderstanding of what adhd is. It makes you hyperfocused on things you enjoy. It doesn't make you unable to concentrate on anything.
That's a load of simplistic nonsense. There are a lot of people in the world who in general lead a positive life who have grew without a so called male role model. The reason why people usually get off track is because of economic or psychological reasons and not because of the absence of some male.
@@Mewtwosmrmime definitely not because of the absence of a male in the house. Cut that crap. When people are going off track it's most likely psychologically or financially rooted.
Played with him at 5 asides and played against him when he was at united and he was unbelievable. He was actually a decent lad. Spoken to him lots of times and seems very nice. I wish he had good people around him, he would of been competing for ballon D'or
I am from Östersund, you could clearly see the talent, ridiculous technique, and way above Swedish standard. But he was so lazy on the pitch. Sad to see
I think the problem is when guys like this slip down the levels, ultimately they think it's beneath them. But in reality it's the only level that they're fit to play at. If he'd treated every game at Östersund like a cup final, which is what it is to the fans right?, maybe he'd be playing at a higher level now!
hard work beats talent when talent does not work hard. There is a history of Man U attracting hugely talented players who fail to reach their potential because they could not apply themselves eg George Best (if not for his playboy booze filled lifecycle could have been the undisputed GOAT), Mason Greenwood, Jadon Sancho, Paul Pogba, Falcao
I know many talented football players who never made it to anywhere and who claim „I could have made it if I just had put the work in“. And I know a couple of players who reached 2nd Bundesliga level who were completely unimpressive during their youth football years but consistently put in their work.
We blues (birmingham) had tried to resign him a few times. One player who fecked himself and can't blame anyone else. Some people fall into a bad crowd and never leave.
Agree with you on the waste but would also put Nile Ranger up there, he was England at every youth level but was more interested in being a gangster than a footballer.
Thousands of players have been capped by country at every youth level and never made it.....multiple reasons why. Doesn't make them extra special. Rooney was playing u18s man utd aged 14. That's special.
Thank you algorithm. This is a banger channel and video! So underrated! 8.37K/10K I was here before 10K, I subbed last week from this video keep it up!
Its unfortunate of how many players you hear of that could've been the best in the world with the talent they possessed but their mentality,attitudes or laziness destroyed them. I would say i felt bad for him but after the 7 or 8th club i cant say i did.
There are many mistakes Ravel Morrison made and many things he could have done better. But leaving Derby was one of the biggest. He was in last chance saloon and mad it ! He had finally found a club and fans who loved him. Went to the US and failed again.
He may of had talent but he was a nasty person. The same as mason greenwood but worse. People like that shouldn't be allowed a career in the spotlight, they should be in prison
In the UK, someone is sent to prison IF they are convicted of a crime. It does not matter if you are a 'nasty' person or Pope John Paul II - you need to be convicted first. No point in sending all the nasties to the joint - there would be a waiting list for prison beds.
There are a tonne of people who were absolutely shocking off the field but still managed to at least have a top level career because their talent carried them. Look at guys like Antonio Cassano, Hatem Ben Arfa, Ricardo Quaresma, Gazza and Mario Ballotelli just to name a few. Even Adel Taarabt played a season for Milan and three for Benfica in spite of being considered a complete write off for about half a decade leading up to that. Morrison is a bit overrated mostly because he was English. If he was that talented he'd have made is regardless of his attitude.
If TH-cam not show this video on my TH-cam front page I might still forget him.. It's been long long time ago... He was great young talented player (at that time)
That's crazy. I'd an unconventional upbringing but i'd be starstruck if Rio Ferdinand was taking interest in my development & had Gary Neville offer me to stay at his house, what a waste.
Even though he’s wasted his potential and not achieved what he could, he’s still made decent money, travelled the world and obviously had a lot of fun the whole time, I’m not mad about it he still has a fun life in comparison to the majority of us
That famous picture with Pogba and Lingard I honestly believed if anyone was going to make first it would be him but it’s the mental side that let him down.
I hope anti-doping regulations are different now when it comes to ADHD medication now, cause going through it without meds I can’t imagine what it’s like
ADHD 'meds' are literally performance enhancement drugs so I don't think (or hope) that that would ever happen :) (not criticizing the meds, I actually have a prescription myself and have noticed the amazing positive effect they have on playing football. Luckily, they don't care at my level ;))
The generation of players who were coming through when I was a child/ young teen all said that Joe Cole was hands down the best player they ever saw at youth level. The generation who were coming through when I was a late teen all said Ravel Morrison.

When was the last time you heard about a heart surgeon beating up his own mother?
@haatpraat2993 you've redefined the meaning of talent- it means skill. Off pitch discipline, life style choices has fa to do with footballing skill. Any other words you want to redefine? Please send to Webster....thanks in advance.
@@pleasantville4529 hopefully in the future we could be, I miss the premier league when it was full of northern teams like Bolton Blackpool Wigan Blackburn and few more
I dont think it would be a good idea if ravel joined rangers back then only because ravel is very cocky and alfredo morelos has the temper of a little child and i dont think cockiness and temper of a child would mix well
Damn top video again. I remember watching a documentary on Netflix about the qualifiers to the 2022 WC. Alot of the Jamaican players didn't feel well with the British players because of the style of play and Ravel was in that squad.
Imagine having all that help during a young age and still f*cking your life up, destroying your family and hurting others. I don’t get it. So ungrateful. Undeserved. Glad it never worked for him.
Rafael Burke was another one. Was in the Class of 92 and was absolute quality. Bad attitude threw it all away. Ferguson didn’t put up with him for long. Ended up player tier gutter league in the suburbs of Bristol before finding god and becoming a pastor.
Another example of be careful who you let in to your life and who you hang around with cause you could end up getting in some ish that's detrimental to your life 😓
A day in the life of a true Brexit geezer wake up and meet the wife Suzan ,my little princess isn't she beautiful,jump in the Bugatti gotta to George to football Classic 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Every sports team should have a sports psychologist if they don’t already, so much wasted talent that probably just needs the right guidance and support
I'm sure I'm not alone in having no sympathy for him at all . The ADHD excuse is just that an excuse . He just didn't have it mentally to do the things needed to become the very best unfortunately but that's on him MC D's at 3 AM over the balon dor awards I guess. I wonder if he still has the same set of mates !
When hardly bothering to show up at the training ground, and even if he eventually did, he would head home with his team-mates shoes in the bag, Well enuff said then.
As bad as Ravel's conduct was at WHU,. Alardyce's was reprehensible; offering a contract only on condition that Ravel dump his own agent and sign with Fathead Sam's - for which the latter would undoubtedly received payment - was disgusting and immoral, if not illegal. Nonetheless, Ravel destroyed his own career.
There are many players that play premier league that aren’t brilliant ballers, it just goes to show how important mental strength and determination are in the game
Plus being a team player. It was interesting that Ravel made his senior Man U debut coming on for Ji Sun Park. In those successful sides under Fergie, the squad guys like Park, Butt, Dublin, Van Der Gouw etc were just as important as the stars!
@@OffThePostYT I agree, Ravel Morrison/ Pogba/ Scholes has more legs than any midfield in EPL history. After he was sold, Pogba was in his prime as an explosive box-to-box/ centre-mid - as was Vidal (who wasn't as good as a young Ravel imo). Scholes was also playing deeper as his career went on. Against Barca he scored the winner that got us to the final in Moscow. We wouldn't have lost two CL finals in (the next) three seasons if we had that trio. Ronaldo might have stayed at least until Ferguson retired - he'd have 3 or 4 Champions Leagues Winners Medals. Plus if United hadn't sold Pique, they could have played him with Ferdinand and Vidic in a back three (like the Juventus system Pogba and Evra played in). Hargreaves, Carrick or Fletcher can help Scholes anchor the midfield. THEN you've got Rooney/Tevez/Ronaldo/Giggs/ Park and Berbatov in the attacking rotation. It would have been absolutely frightening for any defense - Busquets, Abidal, Alves and Xavi wouldn't have coped! Tiki-Taka would have simply capitulated with a counter-attack at that speed. They can play possesion all they want - on stray sideways pass and they concede. The players United had spare, sold or injured in that era were ridiculous (especially compared to now). If G.Nev wasn't injured, he'd be a regular starter. Ronaldo's 38 and was our top scorer last season. We never replaced his goals (both times he left). We had to pay a world record fee to get Pogback - only to loose him again - on a free - to Juventus. Johnny Evans was also deemed surplus to requirements back then. Now in his mid 30s, having re-signed as a free agent because LEICESTER released him, he's our best CB 😑 Never mind beating Barca, we're not even playing Barca anytime soon and they're in the Europa League half the time!
So obvious that he has ADHD, didn’t know he was diagnosed whilst at United though. Fucked up that he couldn’t take his meds because of anti doping as it clearly had a massive impact on his behaviour.
What's with these talented footballers with daddy issues abusing girls and women in their lives. You don't need a dad to be a good person - You just make a choice.
sounds like his “friends” from manchester was a massive part of his downfall. obviously ravel’s fault as well but how are you continually going and distracting your mate from his football career, should’ve been supporting him instead.
mate ravel is the one who chooses his mates, its not like your mates is something forced upon you have no choice over. If someone's friends are all bad and shady character that usually means they will be themselves. Peoples friends are nearly always a relfection of themselves, bad people are friends with bad people, good people are friends with good people.
hence those footballers are in jail, example, ronaldinho, robino, fat ronaldo got some jail time too, father figure was missing hence they go nuts.@@sponish0

Well, it is documented Morrison is a thug and a petty criminal. Anyone who is at the top of their game, be it a doctor, a nurse, a fireman, whatever, tend not to be a thug nor petty criminal. When was the last time you heard about a heart surgeon beating up his own mother?
@haatpraat2993 you've redefined the meaning of talent- it means skill.
Off pitch discipline, life style choices has fa to do with footballing skill.
Any other words you want to redefine? Please send to Webster....thanks in advance.
Can you do a rise and fall of Bolton? Hopefully we start our new rise with a promotion to championship this season
We're Bolton, we're barmy, we're on the piss tonight.
I personally, would love to see Bolton back in the premier league.
@@pleasantville4529 hopefully in the future we could be, I miss the premier league when it was full of northern teams like Bolton Blackpool Wigan Blackburn and few more
How do you put a shoulder around someone 😕…😜😝…🤨
Berahino next? I saw him live in the fa cup once lol
Putting an arm around him would have been much better then a shoulder..
Lol
Tapping up is just the way it is now. Weird how that changed
I dont think it would be a good idea if ravel joined rangers back then only because ravel is very cocky and alfredo morelos has the temper of a little child and i dont think cockiness and temper of a child would mix well
Robbie you’re probably right mate
Rangers died in 2012
He has had more clubs than Tiger Woods.. What a total waste of talent smh 😕
great video but jus too lengthy to keep me watching even on speed x1.5 jus my two cents. cheers
Damn top video again. I remember watching a documentary on Netflix about the qualifiers to the 2022 WC. Alot of the Jamaican players didn't feel well with the British players because of the style of play and Ravel was in that squad.
What a load of nonsense
Imagine having all that help during a young age and still f*cking your life up, destroying your family and hurting others. I don’t get it. So ungrateful. Undeserved. Glad it never worked for him.
He completely took it for granted until it was gone. He could have been a millionaire premier league regular.
Why you showing pictures of Tony whelan and saying his name is Phil brogan?
Rafael Burke was another one. Was in the Class of 92 and was absolute quality. Bad attitude threw it all away. Ferguson didn’t put up with him for long. Ended up player tier gutter league in the suburbs of Bristol before finding god and becoming a pastor.
ravel story makes me sad man
It’s really upsetting
The denial of medication is.. wow.
you dont know anything about medication for adhd, its evil and turns u into a zombie
i mean tbf he wouldn;t of been allowed to play if he took it so would mean no career then what would he of done?
Another example of be careful who you let in to your life and who you hang around with cause you could end up getting in some ish that's detrimental to your life 😓
I’d take him at wounded knee FC, we play at the Hackney marshes but he’d still have to pay his subs.
Did you do the original day in the life of a British geezer?
Did I? 😂
You sound just like him especially how you say futbol 😂@@OffThePostYT
A day in the life of a true Brexit geezer wake up and meet the wife Suzan ,my little princess isn't she beautiful,jump in the Bugatti gotta to George to football
Classic 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
blue badge for 50 pounds? lmao he could have just paid for the parking or is he that broke?
Every sports team should have a sports psychologist if they don’t already, so much wasted talent that probably just needs the right guidance and support
All the talent cannot assist you when you have no mental strength and resilience with self control or you refuse to cultivate this
I'm sure I'm not alone in having no sympathy for him at all . The ADHD excuse is just that an excuse . He just didn't have it mentally to do the things needed to become the very best unfortunately but that's on him MC D's at 3 AM over the balon dor awards I guess. I wonder if he still has the same set of mates !
When hardly bothering to show up at the training ground, and even if he eventually did, he would head home with his team-mates shoes in the bag, Well enuff said then.
Yeah it was his arrogance not illness.
As bad as Ravel's conduct was at WHU,. Alardyce's was reprehensible; offering a contract only on condition that Ravel dump his own agent and sign with Fathead Sam's - for which the latter would undoubtedly received payment - was disgusting and immoral, if not illegal. Nonetheless, Ravel destroyed his own career.
Ravel needed AFC Richmond and Roy West as his manager
Imagine he is signed in the show 😂
@@OffThePostYT 😂
Him and Lingard could have been special
fantastic player, such a shame. piss take he couldn't get medication. Stockport should sign him up
There are many players that play premier league that aren’t brilliant ballers, it just goes to show how important mental strength and determination are in the game
Plus being a team player. It was interesting that Ravel made his senior Man U debut coming on for Ji Sun Park. In those successful sides under Fergie, the squad guys like Park, Butt, Dublin, Van Der Gouw etc were just as important as the stars!
I think Ravel Morrison, Paul Pogba and Paul Scholes had more potential the Pirlo, Pogba and Vidal trio that Barca over ran.
Ravel Morrison had more potential than anyone his age
@@OffThePostYT I agree, Ravel Morrison/ Pogba/ Scholes has more legs than any midfield in EPL history.
After he was sold, Pogba was in his prime as an explosive box-to-box/ centre-mid - as was Vidal (who wasn't as good as a young Ravel imo).
Scholes was also playing deeper as his career went on. Against Barca he scored the winner that got us to the final in Moscow. We wouldn't have lost two CL finals in (the next) three seasons if we had that trio.
Ronaldo might have stayed at least until Ferguson retired - he'd have 3 or 4 Champions Leagues Winners Medals.
Plus if United hadn't sold Pique, they could have played him with Ferdinand and Vidic in a back three (like the Juventus system Pogba and Evra played in). Hargreaves, Carrick or Fletcher can help Scholes anchor the midfield.
THEN you've got Rooney/Tevez/Ronaldo/Giggs/ Park and Berbatov in the attacking rotation. It would have been absolutely frightening for any defense - Busquets, Abidal, Alves and Xavi wouldn't have coped! Tiki-Taka would have simply capitulated with a counter-attack at that speed. They can play possesion all they want - on stray sideways pass and they concede.
The players United had spare, sold or injured in that era were ridiculous (especially compared to now). If G.Nev wasn't injured, he'd be a regular starter. Ronaldo's 38 and was our top scorer last season. We never replaced his goals (both times he left). We had to pay a world record fee to get Pogback - only to loose him again - on a free - to Juventus. Johnny Evans was also deemed surplus to requirements back then. Now in his mid 30s, having re-signed as a free agent because LEICESTER released him, he's our best CB 😑
Never mind beating Barca, we're not even playing Barca anytime soon and they're in the Europa League half the time!
So obvious that he has ADHD, didn’t know he was diagnosed whilst at United though. Fucked up that he couldn’t take his meds because of anti doping as it clearly had a massive impact on his behaviour.
The talk about this plum is ridiculous! He thought he was a rapper and couldn't make it at the top
7k subs is crazy for a channel producing better content than tifo.
Means a lot man ❤️❤️
UNDERRATED AS FUC-
Underrated? Everyone agrees he was an amazing talent. How can he be underrated?
@@jez2466 the guy who
Made yet video
Incredible waste of a rare talent. He’s clearly gifted beyond the normal.
He is another example of if you mix with lice you become itchy.
Fool to himself...pissed his talent away. So frustrating for those trying to help him.
Nothing wrong with turning up to training on a bicycle!!!
He was so washed up when he played for Derby. A shame.
He scored a few clutch goals tbf
The original Football Manager wonderkid
he wasn't even known on fm tbf not sure where you're getting that from
FM had many earlier wonder kids, what do you mean?
What's with these talented footballers with daddy issues abusing girls and women in their lives. You don't need a dad to be a good person - You just make a choice.
never heard of him 😁😁😂😂
Thought he was a gangster but was well known to be softer than butter that the boys kept around to spend his money
why is this video 30 mins? forgotten player him can be summarized in just 5 mins.
yup, i don't bother to finish this video
Se stava a Bham diventava un bosss della mafia 😂
Robin Friday, anyone
sounds like his “friends” from manchester was a massive part of his downfall. obviously ravel’s fault as well but how are you continually going and distracting your mate from his football career, should’ve been supporting him instead.
mate ravel is the one who chooses his mates, its not like your mates is something forced upon you have no choice over. If someone's friends are all bad and shady character that usually means they will be themselves. Peoples friends are nearly always a relfection of themselves, bad people are friends with bad people, good people are friends with good people.
see no matter how many money u end up earning if u had no father your destine to be a failure.
Big 🧢
loads of footballers didn't have fathers and people in general thats nonsense.
hence those footballers are in jail, example, ronaldinho, robino, fat ronaldo got some jail time too, father figure was missing hence they go nuts.@@sponish0
Yeah they should take greenwood back..
