The Top TEN players ‘tipped for the top’ who failed to live up to the hype

As part of the feature on FootballFanCast.com this week looking at the bright future of the beautiful game we have highlighted some talented players who have the world at their feet, however things don’t always go to plan and of those tipped for stardom some will inevitably fail to fulfil their promise.

Before the start of the season I wrote a piece about the young Premier League starlets to watch out for. Amongst these much heralded and discussed youngsters were the likes of Marc Albrighton, Jack Wilshere, Jack Rodwell and Phil Jones.

Whilst these players undoubtedly have promising futures, football is full of talented players tipped by managers, team-mates and fans who did not make the grade. Below are ten of those who were lavished with praise but failed to match expectations.
