Promising players getting unlucky.
Reading something in the Trotters forum regarding an injury to Alan Wardon and how he was 'never the same player again' got me thinking about others who had suffered a similar fate. One of the great shames for me during my tenure as a Bolton fan (since mid 90s) was seeing Dean Holden break his leg against Sheff. Utd I think. He seemed like a good solid right back til then, a great shame. I was just wondering if you can think, Bolton or no, of other promising players who were never the same after injury.
"Young people, nowadays, imagine money is everything."
"Yes, and when they grow older they know it."

There was a guy at Bolton about 1998 sort of time who was highly rated, was it Morrison or something like that? Apparently had a very bad leg injury and never seen again.
What happened to Snorason? I remember when we signed him that Bayern Munich and some other big clubs wanted him. How can someone so highly thought of end up never being heard of ever again? Did he get injured or something?

Peter Morrison that's his name. Anyone remember him? People on a forum I wrote on back then said he was better than Ricky Gardner.Mich Caine wrote:There was a guy at Bolton about 1998 sort of time who was highly rated, was it Morrison or something like that?

Duong Thatch was at FF Jaro in November 2004 - but I can't find anything on him since.
Jeremy Bon seems to have simply disappeared - can't find a mention of him anywhere!
Hafnarfjördur are the champions of Iceland which is rather impressive. Well kind of.sluffy wrote:Playing for Hafnarfjördur of Iceland - player number 19 on their official club site!Mich Caine wrote:What happened to Snorason?

As for Jeremy Bon who has vanished, I just hope they catch whoever did it.

I think Jeremy Bon is playing for Lancaster. Could be wrong.
Away from Bolton...we had a player called Mark Maley. Right back, solid as you like. Had a bright future ahead of him, and had played for England at Schoolboy, U16, U17 and U18 level. The John fecking Oster shot him in the eye. Never played again.

was talking to him about his injury when I played with him in May. Seems he fecked himself up a bit as he broke it will recovering and needed several ops which kept himout way longer than originally planned. He said it wasn't that he was fit to play again it was just that the level of the game had moved forward in those 2/3 years and he couldn't hack it at that level. He went out to play in the states for a while.norm the jedi wrote:True enoughSoldier_Of_The_White_Army wrote:I'm suprised Florent Laville hasn't been mentioned.

The last time that I saw Nicky Spooner play, he came on as sub for Leigh RMI, and went in goal against Boston. Leigh also had the legendary Steve Thompson on the bench that day too, but alas, no 'keeper.communistworkethic wrote:was talking to him about his injury when I played with him in May.
