I'm not sure anyone on here has ever really considered him before.

I've just read an interesting article on Michael Johnson and his problems he had as a professional footballer. Here is an extract from it; "Johnson himself has stated that mental health issues were the reason behind his decision to call it a day. His last appearance for City came as a second-half substitute in a Carling Cup-tie against Scunthorpe United back in October 2009. It is fair to say that very early on in his career, Johnson had the English game firmly by the balls. At the age of only 18, he was tipped by Sven-Goran Eriksson as a future star of the World Cup and was the subject of a £10 million bid from Liverpool, the European champions. A friend at City told me that the older pros referred to him as “FEC”, Future England Captain – a nickname that must have felt like a cruel joke by the time that he left the club." (if you wanted to read rest you'l have to go on the Secret Footballers main site: http://www.thesecretfootballer.com/arti ... destroyer/) Johnson is almost the forgotten man and this author explains what mental issues he may have been going through. let's not forget he was tipped to be the next big thing! What a shame. What do you guys think of it? Cheers |
