- The Most Talented Footballer That Never Made It
Ravel Morrison should have been the best footballer in the world but his career spiralled out of control due to constant arrests and personal battles.

That's not Robert savage. SMH.
"he stole 13 pairs of boots and would sell them for £500, he did this so he could buy his family a cheap take away meal" umm thats not quite adding up?
Indeed!
He actually said "treat takeaway dinner" but the statement still stands, I've never racked up £6500s worth of domino's.
yeah i don't agree with that trying to make it as if he was only stealing to feed his family, and not for any selfish reasons at all@@trentnealgrove9931
must have been 500 all in not each pair,but even at that he must have had a few guffies in the family to get through 500 quid of chow mein
@@user-pw6gm1tu6q I don’t like this narrative acting like he was only stealing to feed his family, and not all for selfish reasons
Diehard Liverpool fan. Morrison is easily the best player at youth level I’ve ever seen. Joe Cole was mental before his fifa street flair was coached out of him but Morrison was sublime. He did stuff players don’t even dare to dream of doing.
First team players went to watch their games in numbers, to see him play. Just think about that for a moment.
I know what you mean. I used to go Carrintgton few times a week, it really felt like I was watching a computer game sometimes.
Watching this and the video about Nile Ranger one thing they have in common is the absence of a father figure in their lives. Many people succeed in life in the same situation sonits not an excuse but it seems to have had an impact on both players
Well spotted!
Perfect example is Adriano he could’ve been the greatest footballer in the world but when his dad passed he completely fell off even Zlatan said he was an animal.
Common with the blacks you mean lol
That's what black families do, abandon their kids.
@@dazzaMusic he got very badly injured. he was a ridiculous party animal though
He signed for Derby County under Rooney and he was no problem at all, he responded to Rooney and the crowd and whilst at Derby he was first class scoring some great goals and displaying sublime skill, then it was a shame he followed Rooney to play in the USA instead he should have stayed at Derby as the fans adored him.
100%. From a United fan
Peter my guy I’m from derby we should link at spoons for a pizza and pint 😂😂 if you’re feeling saucy we could end the night in Baby Plat?
I know someone who played with him during his time with England U16s. To this day, he says he easily could of went on to being in the worlds elite, but he was uncontrollable. Apparently it was so bad that players didn't want to joke with him for fear he'd take it the wrong way.
Shame his own nut fucked him.
That's crazy
They didn't want to spend the money. TLC, comfortable surroundings and stability etc is all he needed. They do it with the foreign talent - throw enough money at the problem, surround him with good people, keep him away from the night life, the problems soon dissipate. What they did was mask the symptoms and make the problem worse in the end with false hope. Ferguson obviously has some guilt about the situation.
As far as I know every single club he went to provided him with stability and only signed him after he promised to sort himself out. He always failed within days and it was always because his ''friends'' from Manchester followed him everywhere. To compound things he very rarely showed up for training, even when with England. This was all Ravel's doing pal, not the clubs. @@rickenfatania
@@rickenfatania I don't think so. Every club knew the problem, none of them could stop it.
That’s why Male role models are so important in childhood
That's a load of simplistic nonsense. There are a lot of people in the world who in general lead a positive life who have grew without a so called male role model. The reason why people usually get off track is because of economic or psychological reasons and not because of the absence of some male.
@@straighhtNo, it's backed up by decades of data. There's a reason certain communities face the same issues across the world...
@@lewismckenzie236 definitely not because of the absence of a male in the house. Cut that crap. When people are going off track it's most likely psychologically or financially rooted.
@@lewismckenzie236 by the way, point me to the data.
@@straighht why dont you look for yourself you utter div?
I became obsessed with him as a player, when i saw some of his youth club highlights back in 13/14, but i could never find enough footage or enough on his story (other than a couple articles of his recent bump ins with the law). so to come back and find a whole 30min video on him was a real treat, and also serves as closure lmao. thanks for this !
If you want the 5 second version:
He was a talented scum bag that was given chance after, chance after chance.
And spat it back in everyones faces.
Yep
Lol
Sounds about right
These gangs know you have potential and will do anything to make sure you don’t.
Makes 'Lord Bendtner' look like a model professional.
That’s saying something 😂😂
ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY LORD BENDTNER. King of the goal hangers.😊😊😊😊
Been diagnosed with adhd at 38 , mad some horrendous decisions ad choices in my life ! I can’t sit here and blame adhd though ! Is that how this works now ? We find excuses for our actions instead of taking responsibility ? I made changes to my life the years ago , left my whole life behind and stated again - that’s how you get away from trouble and beer yourself ! This guy could’ve had it all 🏴✌️
Thanks for sharing man 🙌
Just diagnosed at 42!
Having adhd makes school hard. It doesn't make playing football hard.
@@michaelh878of course it does don't talk nonsense, to be top level athlete you need to be disciplined and focused. adhd is gonna make this task a lot harder
@@sponish0 You have a misunderstanding of what adhd is. It makes you hyperfocused on things you enjoy. It doesn't make you unable to concentrate on anything.
Played with him at 5 asides and played against him when he was at united and he was unbelievable. He was actually a decent lad. Spoken to him lots of times and seems very nice. I wish he had good people around him, he would of been competing for ballon D'or
I am from Östersund, you could clearly see the talent, ridiculous technique, and way above Swedish standard. But he was so lazy on the pitch. Sad to see
I think the problem is when guys like this slip down the levels, ultimately they think it's beneath them. But in reality it's the only level that they're fit to play at. If he'd treated every game at Östersund like a cup final, which is what it is to the fans right?, maybe he'd be playing at a higher level now!
hard work beats talent when talent does not work hard. There is a history of Man U attracting hugely talented players who fail to reach their potential because they could not apply themselves eg George Best (if not for his playboy booze filled lifecycle could have been the undisputed GOAT), Mason Greenwood, Jadon Sancho, Paul Pogba, Falcao
Mason greenwood is doing well in Spain
Let hes profesional rape accusations to rest…
I know many talented football players who never made it to anywhere and who claim „I could have made it if I just had put the work in“. And I know a couple of players who reached 2nd Bundesliga level who were completely unimpressive during their youth football years but consistently put in their work.
I see a common problem here in Morrison, Lingard and Pogba. Attitude.
He couldn't dance though 😉
Pogba has won it all in football lass
@@johndover3594 On the back of great teammates. Luxury merchant, couldn't lead a toddler to a nursery.
@sureduck world Cup winner ; 4 serie A titles, europa league winner......all cos of his team mates.
It's a team game you fckg muppet.
Excellent video, some brilliant information and a great watch. You deserve a lot more subscribers 🙌
Talent alone will not get you success, the road is littered with talent that never makes it, attitude and focus is everything.
This is my new favourite channel. Keep it up mate!
Such an underrated channel this, one of the best about
Thank you algorithm. This is a banger channel and video! So underrated! 8.37K/10K I was here before 10K, I subbed last week from this video keep it up!
probably one of the most informative videos i’ve watched. Great stuff
Appreciate the kind words my friend!
@@OffThePostYT awesome video once again.
How do I get in touch with you??
I have a great football story that I believe you would love
Really appreciate your efforts in your every video the way u explain everything is just so good im telling u that u gonna blow up soon and plz never stop this type of content OTP♥️
Excellent video ,loads of information thoroughly enjoyed it ,thank you
Love these vids man keep it up
Great coverage man!
Netking appreciate it bro 🙌
We blues (birmingham) had tried to resign him a few times. One player who fecked himself and can't blame anyone else. Some people fall into a bad crowd and never leave.
I thought he was gonna resign for Birmingham when Rooney joined
@OffThePostYT think he was training with us before going to Derby as well
Absolutely brilliant video lad. I’m currently in hospital and this video has been so well put together. l loved it ❤
I hope everything goes well lad ❤️
Its unfortunate of how many players you hear of that could've been the best in the world with the talent they possessed but their mentality,attitudes or laziness destroyed them. I would say i felt bad for him but after the 7 or 8th club i cant say i did.
Agree with you on the waste but would also put Nile Ranger up there, he was England at every youth level but was more interested in being a gangster than a footballer.
I’ve actually done a similar video about Nile Ranger. Massive waste of talent! 🙌
Thousands of players have been capped by country at every youth level and never made it.....multiple reasons why. Doesn't make them extra special.
Rooney was playing u18s man utd aged 14. That's special.
@@russell7054Lol Not sure how that works when Rooney was at Everton at age 14
There are many mistakes Ravel Morrison made and many things he could have done better. But leaving Derby was one of the biggest. He was in last chance saloon and mad it ! He had finally found a club and fans who loved him. Went to the US and failed again.
Amazingly researched!
Thank you, it took a lot of time to make! 🙌
Thanks for telling his story. Always wanted to know how he flopped. I was hearing really good things about him for years. I’m surprised united couldn’t sort him out….. a lost cause 😢
That's crazy. I'd an unconventional upbringing but i'd be starstruck if Rio Ferdinand was taking interest in my development & had Gary Neville offer me to stay at his house, what a waste.
What a waste !!!!! NO what a W-------r. Leopards never change their spots Pal.
A massive waste mate
Top tier video, keep it up
Thanks, will do bro!
great watch mate!
If CZcams not show this video on my CZcams front page I might still forget him..
It's been long long time ago... He was great young talented player (at that time)
Excellent video and research
Great video... 👏👏
There are a tonne of people who were absolutely shocking off the field but still managed to at least have a top level career because their talent carried them. Look at guys like Antonio Cassano, Hatem Ben Arfa, Ricardo Quaresma, Gazza and Mario Ballotelli just to name a few. Even Adel Taarabt played a season for Milan and three for Benfica in spite of being considered a complete write off for about half a decade leading up to that. Morrison is a bit overrated mostly because he was English. If he was that talented he'd have made is regardless of his attitude.
Mindset is just as important as ability at that level
My respects and kudos from Chile 🇨🇱
The research and passion displayed in the video really shows, looking forward for more 🖤
I've watched football for over 35 years and literally never seen him play one game.
All I've ever heard is his name and claims of how great he could have been,
That's the difference between watching it on the telly and living near the club.
@@sureduck I pretty much know every player. Including Nial Ranger. I have a complete black hole on hearing about Ravel Morrison until he after he left the league. Even in FIFA the game past 10 years I played as every team and don't recall seeing him.
@@alexojideagu The fact you mentioned FIFA says it all. If you actually went to see games or lived in England, you'd have heard about Ravel. Not dissing you, just a fact.
@@sureduckI was born in London. I know more football history in my little finger than you. I saw players in the late 1980s I bet you've never heard of.
@@sureduckThe fact you ignored the fact I mentioned Nial Ranger shows your presumptions and ignorance. I would destroy you in a football quiz of Worldwide football history
Amazing vid!
Issac thanks mate!
Absolutely brilliant player gutted that it work out for him at West ham 👏🏽
Typical : bring money into a dysfunctional household and you'll get nothing but drama.
👍
He may of had talent but he was a nasty person. The same as mason greenwood but worse. People like that shouldn't be allowed a career in the spotlight, they should be in prison
In the UK, someone is sent to prison IF they are convicted of a crime. It does not matter if you are a 'nasty' person or Pope John Paul II - you need to be convicted first. No point in sending all the nasties to the joint - there would be a waiting list for prison beds.
@@haatpraat2993 and that's why these people do it because the system allows them to get away with it
How on earth is he worst than Greenwood who is literally a rapist and abuses women ? Explain that to me
he had convictions mate...@@haatpraat2993
@@haatpraat2993He seems to have fulfilled that condition on numerous occasions ;)
That famous picture with Pogba and Lingard I honestly believed if anyone was going to make first it would be him but it’s the mental side that let him down.
I hope anti-doping regulations are different now when it comes to ADHD medication now, cause going through it without meds I can’t imagine what it’s like
Facts. Impulse control is a major issue with ADHD (speaking as someone who has it and is medicated)
Nah, that's making excuses for him, he simply lacked the character and discipline.
Mental health issues ir a reason, if not an excuse. @@iangreenhalgh9280
ADHD 'meds' are literally performance enhancement drugs so I don't think (or hope) that that would ever happen :)
(not criticizing the meds, I actually have a prescription myself and have noticed the amazing positive effect they have on playing football. Luckily, they don't care at my level ;))
@@ellemarr7234 Impulse Control is a major issue with his demographic too,they have none.
The generation of players who were coming through when I was a child/ young teen all said that Joe Cole was hands down the best player they ever saw at youth level. The generation who were coming through when I was a late teen all said Ravel Morrison.
Your very underrated👏👏👏
Fr man? ❤️
how can have a argument in their native language when ones English and ones French Paul is French
Do a video on Andre Gray.. I’m is dad and would be happy to set the record straight…
Another one with a chip on his shoulder but never had anywhere near the talent of ravel
Putting an arm around him would have been much better then a shoulder..
Lol
Berahino next? I saw him live in the fa cup once lol
How do you put a shoulder around someone 😕…😜😝…🤨
Damn top video again. I remember watching a documentary on Netflix about the qualifiers to the 2022 WC. Alot of the Jamaican players didn't feel well with the British players because of the style of play and Ravel was in that squad.
What a load of nonsense
Can you do a rise and fall of Bolton? Hopefully we start our new rise with a promotion to championship this season
We're Bolton, we're barmy, we're on the piss tonight.
I personally, would love to see Bolton back in the premier league.
@@pleasantville4529 hopefully in the future we could be, I miss the premier league when it was full of northern teams like Bolton Blackpool Wigan Blackburn and few more
Tapping up is just the way it is now. Weird how that changed
Why do troubled kids have to be so talented 💔
Imagine having morrison, ranger and barton in the same team😂
There are many players that play premier league that aren’t brilliant ballers, it just goes to show how important mental strength and determination are in the game
Plus being a team player. It was interesting that Ravel made his senior Man U debut coming on for Ji Sun Park. In those successful sides under Fergie, the squad guys like Park, Butt, Dublin, Van Der Gouw etc were just as important as the stars!
He has had more clubs than Tiger Woods.. What a total waste of talent smh 😕
great video but jus too lengthy to keep me watching even on speed x1.5 jus my two cents. cheers
The denial of medication is.. wow.
you dont know anything about medication for adhd, its evil and turns u into a zombie
i mean tbf he wouldn;t of been allowed to play if he took it so would mean no career then what would he of done?
Another example of be careful who you let in to your life and who you hang around with cause you could end up getting in some ish that's detrimental to your life 😓
If Morrison was talented, he would have become a top player. 'Talent' extends beyond the field of play. Look at Bellingham. The guy is an example OFF the pitch as well as on it. Morrison in my book, does not even come close to being talented.
You don’t any of these players personally to be talking about how they are off the pitch
@@tomnbg3048 I think you missed a word in your comment, rendering it incoherent. But I think you meant to state I do not know any of these players off the pitch to make comments about them. Well, it is documented Morrison is a thug and a petty criminal. Anyone who is at the top of their game, be it a doctor, a nurse, a fireman, whatever, tend not to be a thug nor petty criminal. When was the last time you heard about a heart surgeon beating up his own mother?
@haatpraat2993 you've redefined the meaning of talent- it means skill.
Off pitch discipline, life style choices has fa to do with footballing skill.
Any other words you want to redefine? Please send to Webster....thanks in advance.
blue badge for 50 pounds? lmao he could have just paid for the parking or is he that broke?
Imagine having all that help during a young age and still f*cking your life up, destroying your family and hurting others. I don’t get it. So ungrateful. Undeserved. Glad it never worked for him.
He completely took it for granted until it was gone. He could have been a millionaire premier league regular.
UNDERRATED AS FUC-
Underrated? Everyone agrees he was an amazing talent. How can he be underrated?
@@jez2466 the guy who
Made yet video
I dont think it would be a good idea if ravel joined rangers back then only because ravel is very cocky and alfredo morelos has the temper of a little child and i dont think cockiness and temper of a child would mix well
Robbie you’re probably right mate
Rangers died in 2012
I'm a United supporter and remember like yesterday when sir Alex Ferguson spoke about him. He was special, don't mean he would have been a great player. Attitude is paramount in football, this fella ravel had none...
Wasted talent like Nile Rangers....
Why you showing pictures of Tony whelan and saying his name is Phil brogan?
I’d take him at wounded knee FC, we play at the Hackney marshes but he’d still have to pay his subs.
Did you do the original day in the life of a British geezer?
Did I? 😂
You sound just like him especially how you say futbol 😂@@OffThePostYT
A day in the life of a true Brexit geezer wake up and meet the wife Suzan ,my little princess isn't she beautiful,jump in the Bugatti gotta to George to football
Classic 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Every sports team should have a sports psychologist if they don’t already, so much wasted talent that probably just needs the right guidance and support
fantastic player, such a shame. piss take he couldn't get medication. Stockport should sign him up
Rafael Burke was another one. Was in the Class of 92 and was absolute quality. Bad attitude threw it all away. Ferguson didn’t put up with him for long. Ended up player tier gutter league in the suburbs of Bristol before finding god and becoming a pastor.
ravel story makes me sad man
It’s really upsetting
He is another example of if you mix with lice you become itchy.
All the talent cannot assist you when you have no mental strength and resilience with self control or you refuse to cultivate this
7k subs is crazy for a channel producing better content than tifo.
Means a lot man ❤️❤️
Ravel needed AFC Richmond and Roy West as his manager
Imagine he is signed in the show 😂
@@OffThePostYT 😂
Fool to himself...pissed his talent away. So frustrating for those trying to help him.
I think Ravel Morrison, Paul Pogba and Paul Scholes had more potential the Pirlo, Pogba and Vidal trio that Barca over ran.
Ravel Morrison had more potential than anyone his age
@@OffThePostYT I agree, Ravel Morrison/ Pogba/ Scholes has more legs than any midfield in EPL history.
After he was sold, Pogba was in his prime as an explosive box-to-box/ centre-mid - as was Vidal (who wasn't as good as a young Ravel imo).
Scholes was also playing deeper as his career went on. Against Barca he scored the winner that got us to the final in Moscow. We wouldn't have lost two CL finals in (the next) three seasons if we had that trio.
Ronaldo might have stayed at least until Ferguson retired - he'd have 3 or 4 Champions Leagues Winners Medals.
Plus if United hadn't sold Pique, they could have played him with Ferdinand and Vidic in a back three (like the Juventus system Pogba and Evra played in). Hargreaves, Carrick or Fletcher can help Scholes anchor the midfield.
THEN you've got Rooney/Tevez/Ronaldo/Giggs/ Park and Berbatov in the attacking rotation. It would have been absolutely frightening for any defense - Busquets, Abidal, Alves and Xavi wouldn't have coped! Tiki-Taka would have simply capitulated with a counter-attack at that speed. They can play possesion all they want - on stray sideways pass and they concede.
The players United had spare, sold or injured in that era were ridiculous (especially compared to now). If G.Nev wasn't injured, he'd be a regular starter. Ronaldo's 38 and was our top scorer last season. We never replaced his goals (both times he left). We had to pay a world record fee to get Pogback - only to loose him again - on a free - to Juventus. Johnny Evans was also deemed surplus to requirements back then. Now in his mid 30s, having re-signed as a free agent because LEICESTER released him, he's our best CB 😑
Never mind beating Barca, we're not even playing Barca anytime soon and they're in the Europa League half the time!
Him and Lingard could have been special
Nothing wrong with turning up to training on a bicycle!!!
So obvious that he has ADHD, didn’t know he was diagnosed whilst at United though. Fucked up that he couldn’t take his meds because of anti doping as it clearly had a massive impact on his behaviour.
The original Football Manager wonderkid
he wasn't even known on fm tbf not sure where you're getting that from
FM had many earlier wonder kids, what do you mean?
why is this video 30 mins? forgotten player him can be summarized in just 5 mins.
yup, i don't bother to finish this video
I'm sure I'm not alone in having no sympathy for him at all . The ADHD excuse is just that an excuse . He just didn't have it mentally to do the things needed to become the very best unfortunately but that's on him MC D's at 3 AM over the balon dor awards I guess. I wonder if he still has the same set of mates !
When hardly bothering to show up at the training ground, and even if he eventually did, he would head home with his team-mates shoes in the bag, Well enuff said then.
Yeah it was his arrogance not illness.
The talk about this plum is ridiculous! He thought he was a rapper and couldn't make it at the top
Se stava a Bham diventava un bosss della mafia 😂
Thought he was a gangster but was well known to be softer than butter that the boys kept around to spend his money
never heard of him 😁😁😂😂
Robin Friday, anyone
So man utd couldn't home one young player away from his gang? Shame on you man utd
You can’t really blame the club in this case
What's with these talented footballers with daddy issues abusing girls and women in their lives. You don't need a dad to be a good person - You just make a choice.
Enzo, a little information and advice. An EFL football match is 90 mins plus any added extra minutes for time-wasting and substitutions. So playing better for an estimated 80 minutes just doesn't cut it 🤷🏼♂️.. You arrogant divvy.
Not as buckwild as Nile Ranger but then again who is
I think his son snuffed it last year in a car crash.
sounds like his “friends” from manchester was a massive part of his downfall. obviously ravel’s fault as well but how are you continually going and distracting your mate from his football career, should’ve been supporting him instead.
mate ravel is the one who chooses his mates, its not like your mates is something forced upon you have no choice over. If someone's friends are all bad and shady character that usually means they will be themselves. Peoples friends are nearly always a relfection of themselves, bad people are friends with bad people, good people are friends with good people.
