I reckon fitness, luck and dedication are generally what makes it and who doesn't to a large extent.

When i was younger i used to play at a top level, i was really determined to make it until i got to about 16/17, then i was busy doing other things. That said, there are premierleague footballers who i don't feel have more technical ability than me, which may sound ludicrous, but true.

None other than John Barnes, one of the most talented individuals of his time, but he said he grew up playing with better players than im, who aren't pro.
