Let's not forget his world cup winning team mate Kevin Großkreutz. Won the world cup and lit up the Bundesliga with Dortmund before falling from grace. Now he is playing in Germanys 3rd division and has been awful the last few years when he should have been in his prime as a defender.
Retired at 29! Definitely should have carried on playing somewhere or anywhere that could challenge for trophies, not a high profile club but one of the smaller/other leagues, a in club somewhere like Belgium, Austria, USA you get my drift, obviously depending on injuries he’s had or could get 🤷🏻♂️
People always say Bojan was the natural heir to Messi. There's like three years between them and Bojan broke into the first team at 16 and Messi at 17. In Bojan's first full season in the Barca first team he scored ten goals and Messi who was in his second full season at the time got fourteen. I hardly think the consensus in the Barca board room at that time was "We've got a guy ready to step in after the Messi era." It's just like calling Mason Greenwood the heir to Marcus Rashford.
You can say the same thing for Christian Tello too, although he was a few years after, he would of had to stay at the club for all his career to be considered an heir to Messi
@@tomjesty3992 I was referring more towards the age gap than the talent. People still call Bojan the Messi successor that never was but how could he have been? Even if he lived up to his talent, today he would be at Barca at 30 years old and Messi is still playing at 33. They're from the same era. If Ronaldo was still at United you could make the argument that Greenwood could be his successor. Not from a talent perspective. But in the sense that he's a young guy in a similar position who can play that position at a high level when Ronaldo leaves. That wasn't Bojan in 2007. In 2007 Messi was 19/20 years old and Bojan was 17. If anything they were both successors to Ronaldinho and Eto'o. So that's where I got the Greenwood/Rashford analogy. How can a teenager become a successor to a player just a few years older than him? A successor is a guy who comes in and replaces the older guy like Ronaldo did for Beckham. If you play together with someone for almost your entire career you're not replacing them.
@@SonnyK248 if Messi had decided to play for Spain as a boy and been sold by Barcelona after a 10 goal season because a guy 2 years older than him scored 15 I don't think he'd have a single golden ball.
Towards the end of his Liverpool career Torres was riddled with injuries. He was told to miss the World Cup and to recover but he choose to go, only to make the injury worse. He lost a yard of pace and just like Owen his game was dependent on pace. So it was really clever business by Liverpool to sell a injured player who was never gonna be the same as a couple of years back.
As a Chelsea fan it was clear we signed him during his injury recovery, but he is cherished due to his UCL heroics, injuries were the reason behind his career slowing fizzling out, still World Cup winner and two time Euros winner and a UCL
The biggest career collapse ever in my opinion and one you completely missed. Adriano who was an absolute monster for Inter, and was destined to become one of the best strikers we've seen, before the passing of his father which resulted in depression.
Pato, Robinho, Hell even Ronaldinho could have been much much bigger ... Thing is, when those young people that came from extreme poverty get the taste of money and find themselves in the middle of a ruthless world, they lose track of the most important thing that is their career ... they get exploited and sucked dry by their "entourage" and then they get tossed aside
Even in the 2014/2015 season joe hart was still pulling off incredible stops and commanding from the back, I think today’s football fans forget this too easily:/
Royston Drenthe seems like someone who stuck in a child like state. When he was at my club, Reading, he actually met 2 of my friends in a casino and invited them back to his home to play fifa. He was a very nice guy but sadly it felt like his heart was no longer in football and I can understand why. He had been rushed into Real Madrid too soon and was tossed aside at the earliest sign of poor form
Someone you missed is André Schürrle, such a great player, had a fantastic world cup 2014, and then it seems like he didn't have a single good transfer. Ironically he retired today, at 29.
It's sad what happened to Schürle and Götze after World cup 2014. They were never the same afterwards. Actually there are a lot of good German footballers who experienced a downfall
@@parham8279 Großkreutz, Howedes, Gotze, Schurrle, Mario Gomez, even Schweinsteiger when he went to Man United, Muller revived himself and Boateng hasn't fallen that much, but he did compared to before

Micah Richards’ decline is pretty straightforward: He picked up an injury and nobody foresaw Pablo Zabaleta taking to the right back role so well. Micah was never able to get a chance to win back his place as Zaba was so imperious in the role. We’ll probably never know if injury made it harder for him or not, but it wouldn’t have helped that Zaba turned out to be pretty much irreplaceable, turning in the type of blood and thunder performances that made him a hero at the Etihad.
As soon as he had a falling out/refused to play at Newcastle and joined Manchester United he lost all of his statuses with Newcastle and Liverpool 🤦🏻♂️

Michael Owen won the Ballon d'Or and was league top scorer. After achieving such pinnacles, your career is a success. Yes, it declined afterwards, but overall it was a success! Same for Joe Hart. At his peak, he won three Golden Gloves in four years and two league titles with City, I mean, if that's a "career that collapsed"... please, most goalkeepers would love a career like that. When it comes to "collapse," it should be in the context of unfulfilled potential (or overrated potential), like Fernando Torres on club level.
Adriano, from inter the number 1 decline. He was probably the best striker in the world, but his father died and he got depressed. Even Zanetti said he got goosebumps from that day that he witnessed Adriano when he heard the passing of his father.
If you had told me when KSI had made that Beast Video about Akinfenwa, that Joe Hart would be playing at a lower level than Akinfenwa, I probably wouldn't have believed you
He didn’t fit how Pep wanted to play, Hart is a good shot stopper but his passing isn’t that good and isn’t comfortable coming out of that box and sweeping when balls are played over the top of Man City’s defense
Personally I don't like the way Hart was treated by Pep, but that is really unfair, as I recall he trained with Pep for less than a week before the season started(ironically because of being away with England), was dropped and loaned before the following week was up. Clearly Pep didn't like him as a player, but he didn't ruin him
I remember Micah Richards from FIFA 08. I would always buy him in manager mode because he was rated 83 at age 19 and his potential was through the roof. FIFA always seems to overrate young English players.
I used to watch every game and I think he really was great and just peaked super early. Some players rely on physical ability and dont develop the technical side well as their sheer physical dominance starts to fade
first time i've ever disliked a video. you said at start of vid only players not ravaged by injury. then went on to name several players whose careers were ended or damaged by injury. disingenuous
Maniche. No one ever talks about this guy. He was instrumental for Portugal's deep runs at Euro 2004 and World Cup 2006 (making the dream team in each) and also won CL with Porto in 2004. Yet after 2006 he disappeared. He was 28 then and after a bad spell at Chelsea never found rhythm with other team.

But then inexplicably after 2 seasons of almost perfection, he changed overnight into a weak bumbling defender who was constantly getting caught out or making mistakes. It was almost like he had turned into a different player!

You started the video by stating you aren't including players plagued by injury but then put Micah Richards in there? He was shipped out of City because of a recurring knee injury which he himself has said he played through most of the times he actually did get on the pitch. Then has said he couldn't ever get consistent time on the pitch at Villa because the same injury forced him out.
Not sure how common it is these days, but 15-20+ years ago the most talented youngsters in the biggest leagues werent properly managed or protected. Waay to many games week in week out for someone who was not yet fully developed and so they started struggling with injuries when entering their 30s
A lot of these players' declines were from injury, including Owen, Torres, Richards. No LFC supporter regards Owen as a hero ever since he moved to ManU
As a Liverpool fan I loved Michael Owen when I was growing up but can't stand him now because of that move to United. Dont know many, if any Liverpool fans who like him now
In the alternate reality of my W11 2008 ML team; Drenthe is a strong, reliable ball playing CB and my skipper for many years while Richards started out as a RB and moved to DM What might have been.......
Drenthe is not playing in the first division in the Netherlands. Moreover, he hasn’t since 2007. He returned to sparta but once they promoted, he was released. His career is a Shame. Royston Drenthe left the Netherlands way too fast. Could have been an amazing player. Great person tho.

Benteke was good for almost 3 seasons he was good at genk even better at Aston Villa shit at Liverpool and for the first season was good at crystal palace but then got bad 2nd season
Actually Owen is largely hated by Liverpool fans who remember his glory days at Anfield, (I'm not one of them). His switch to Man United later in his career destroyed his relationship with Reds fans.
torres score in 2 euro's finals owen is one of england top scoring strikers wouldn't call either gerrards poacher only bother were just down hill due to age and injury
Seeing joe hart on this list really upsets me, was a top class goalkeeper one of the best ever in my opinion. Hope he finds himself again or it might just be time to hang up the boots. Either way I’ll always remember him as top class
Owen went and won the premier league at Man U I’m a city fan it’s common knowledge in Manchester that Owen is a ledge for going Man U and winning premier league He was worth it just for the goal against citeh” they say

torres score in 2 euro's finals owen is one of england top scoring strikers wouldn't call either gerrards poacher only bother were just down hill due to age and injury
You missed out Robin Van Persie lol and Mario Balotelli
Torres? he won a champions league medal and went on to reach another final
Seeing joe hart on this list really upsets me, was a top class goalkeeper one of the best ever in my opinion. Hope he finds himself again or it might just be time to hang up the boots. Either way I’ll always remember him as top class
Whenever a player gets called the next Messi, he is cursed. No player can get near to Messis achievements
Jack butland, mignolet, karius, ferdinand, lescott?
Edited Title: Side effects of transferring clubs.
We all knew Bojan was gonna be in there didn't we ;)
Torres was never the same after that injury he sustained before the world cup
Honorable mentions : James, goetze, schuerle maybe coutinho and griezman if their struggle continues
All of those besides James maybe but all the others won’t even struggling
Hey there is a person named Jack Wilshere as well
Alex Pato, Gorëtzka, Renato Sanchez, Januzaj, Wilshire, Jake Butland, Kagawa,
Goretzka is still doing good at buyern
@@abdullabayya155 sorry I meant to say Kevin Grosskreutz
Mario Gotze springs to mind
Joe Hart has to be the only player ever to actually give off the impression he’s intentionally trying to end his own career
Owen went and won the premier league at Man U
I’m a city fan it’s common knowledge in Manchester that Owen is a ledge for going Man U and winning premier league
He was worth it just for the goal against citeh” they say
No united fan actually cares about city so no they don't say that
Do they not
funny that my ears must have made it up
Just outta interest, are u a Manchester lad
As a United fan when ever I think of Owen I think of that goal he scored, he was worth it just for that one goal
You put Hart but another GK that could have been was Víctor Valdés
I think honourable mentions for this list should be Adriano and Saviola
How about Mario Balotelli? Fabio Coentrao? Oscar? Jackson Martinez? Daniel Sturridge?
Expecting to see Winston Bogarde
It’s quite sad but it looks as though there to pampered them as soon as something goes wrong they can’t recover or they are acting spoilt
Would love to have Joe Hart at Leeds, Bielsa could get him back on track and he’s not old for a keeper
I think your in drugs bruv illan meslier is a beast.
Danny b DJB that was loan
Richards is a bit harsh.
How about a video featuring players who have had great careers despite bad injuries? E.g. Ronaldo, Kompany, Cazorla, Aguero
Aguero?not really
Roy Kane was a passion merchant
Adriano is another crazy story
