Alan Shearer? 283 goals in 559 games in the Premier League and 30 goals in 63 games for England, I wish I'd underachieved that much.....
Not saying shearer wasnt the best striker the prem has ever seen..but if measured in silverware a man of his talents seriously underachieved,fergusons still shaking his head at big als decision to turn man u down.
Fair enough, I suppose one PL winners medal is not very representative of what his ability warranted.
I can't open the link on my phone , is it Diamond Lights by any chance ? I remember bumping into a lad in town who was in the year above me at school at the time this ' song' in the charts . I remember we both had Sid Scarbrough carrier bags and the conversation turned to what we had just purchased . I'd just bought Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division and Songs to learn and sing by Echo and the Bunnymen . When I asked him what he had bought he said, "Diamond Lights by Glenn and Chris " I didn't know whether to laugh or cry . I just walked off dazed and confused without saying anything else . I made a point of never speaking to him again .
this is what i meant about waddle too...should have graced more big games for his talent, titles and european finals etc...whenever people talk about greatest england players of all time, he rarely gets a mention, yet hes one of the most talented players iver seen.
Was working with a French guy a few years back and he raved about Waddle, think he achieved things in France, pretty sure Marseilles were fantastic back then, but not over here, I remember watching Marseilles in the European Cup final but not sure if they won or even if he played.
