Good shout. I used to listen to the United games on BBC GMR back then as a youngster and I remember Wilf McGuinness (the United pundit on there) really speaking highly of him while in the youth ranks. Just never really happened but coming through it appeared he’d be a cert.
Players you had forgotten existed
- Thread starter Smoking_Owl
- Start date
I forgot that Martin Hinteregger had a comeback until I read today that he got caught driving completely drunk.
Why am I not surprised by this?
Iturbe, or whatever he was called. ex Roma, still plays, still shit.
I keep forgetting Mount plays for us.
Luke Shaw…..what happened to him?
Danny Cadamateri.
Totally forgot he existed until being reminded in some random article about his kid being a prospect somewhere.
I remember Evertonians making out he was going to be better than Owen, they then said the same about Jeffers.
They finally got it right with Rooney.

Then followed James Vaughan, Jose Baxter and Victor Anichebe.
as usual during the weekend, I placed couple of bets yesterday, one of them including the Zenit - CSKA match.
well, Igor Akinfeev is still playing. probably one of the last one-club players around on that level.

Marco Verratti
Is he still playing?
Yeah he plays in Qatar
Jadon Sancho

Aubameyang
Shocking
Hirving Lozano. Only 30, currently in MLS playing for San Diego, a team that's only two years old.
A player made of glass goes to the desert. Only natural I guess
Henry, Brentford
Neymar! 
I thought he was still in South Africa.

Guillermo Ochoa - FM Legend.
S Milinkovic Savic- one of our many elusive midfielders links back in the day
Just saw that Marek Hamsik is now into coaching....another case of what could have been.

Morten Gamst Pedersen just popped into my head. He's still playing.
Saw David Batty’s name mentioned in the papers today, wonder what he’s up to these days?
Is that the same Wilf McGuiness who played for and managed United?
Eric Bailly
Apparently lives a low-key life. Hated the limelight and apparently according to his teammates, hated football too. Just did it because he was good at it.
Heard the same about that Spurs right back, Assou Ekoto or something. Used to really like him actually, but had completely forgotten about him, so guess he fits the thread to.
Not exactly forgotten, but I just realized that Nathan Aké is 30 years old. I seriously thought he was no older than 23-24. Does my head in a bit.
Donny van de Beek
M. Upson
V. Grella
Brett Emerton
C. Bocanegra
Sylvain Marveaux

Como release Dele Ali. You gotta feel sorry for him. Never been the same player since Poch left spurs. I only now realised about his awful childhood. Poor bloke.

Izaguirre, that Celtic fullback we were frequently linked with in late Fergie years.
Jamaal Lascelles, on for 13 minutes against Arsenal today.
Played 6 minutes last week but I wasn't aware of that, didn't play at all last season.

Lammens, a goalkeeper for some small club in the north of England.
