I think you are misunderstanding the point I am making. The missed opportunity is that he was playing at that level when he obviously had the talent to be at a higher level.
Either everybody missed how good he was, or he wasn't playing to his potential. The latter seems the more likely but either way it was a missed opportunity.
Bring Back Belfast Celtic F.C.
Yes, I thought you meant Ireland was at fault for not selecting him when he was in the third tier.
Never got this regular substitution of him after 70 minutes in international and club football. I know he used to put in a good shift but still seemed to be going strong.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
He says himself it was due to poor nutrition and conditioning. Essentially, he wasn't on the diet you would expect of a top-flight professional footballer until later in his career. I think it was through lack of education or knowledge than anything.
