    What about Dragan Stojkovic, Enzo Scifo, Enzo Francescoli and Lubo Moravcik?

    A few masters who are not well known or rarely mentioned. Everyone would love one in their squad if not team. Not wasted in that they were quality but wasted in that not everyone knew about them and seen them on the big stage.

    Vicente would have been one of the greatest ever if not for injuries. Same as Valeron.

    As a youngster he was extremely highly rated wasn't he? I'm sure Liverpool, Man Utd were all sniffing around him

    Andres D'Alessandro. I remember watching him play for River vs Boca years ago when Argentinian games used to be shown late on the TV.

    When he was younger, he looked to be the same level as Riquelme but probably never had the career he could have.

    Adriano. I remember tipping him to become one of the best in the world. Also Freddy Adu.

    Don`t really think he could count as wasted as he has had a good career but Pablo Aimar could have been something really special if it wasn`t for the injuries imo

    Adriano is the one that really annoys me though. * knows where he would have ended up if he put his mind to it. He just lost it after his father died

    D'Alessandro was on loan at portsmouth for a while wasn't he? always liked the look of his play, wonder what ever happened to him to not reach his potential

    Liam Miller, when he was here he had so much potential then his move to United completly stagnated his progress.
