Simon Webster, another one that got a bad injury after leaving us and failed to fulfil his potential.
Though we had quite a few that got injured and had their careers terminated early: Rufus, Hunt, Mendonca, Holmes, Rowett to name but a few.1 -

Arry Addick said:Ahmed Kashi.....he looked immense in his first few games. Covered every blade of grass and had a great range of passing.
Going back to the mid 80s - Jimmy Loveridge.
Igor would be another for me, same thing as Kashi, was never able to recover from injuries.
I guess we can say JFC as this point as well. Remember watching him in England youth sides and for Brighton and thought he had a bright future. Thought when he came to us he'd either be a mainstay for years to come or would use it as a springboard back up the divisions. When he was healthy he was very good, but it's so hard to come back from two ACL injuries.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Graham Tutt whose great future was brought to an end by another no mark.3

Thought they were both really good signings but neither lived up to my expectations.1 -
Simon Walton is another one who was surprisingly terrible. Made 30 appearance for Leeds when he was 16/17 years old, England u19 caps and then proceeded to never make a competitive appearance for us before going down the leagues collecting more red cards than good performances. 18 clubs after us, 7 of them non-league. He was supposed to be the next David Batty and he was a total nothing

Always thought Kyle Reid was exciting to watch.
Ricky Holmes as well.2 -
Christian Ceballos. One dodgy corner later and the dream was dead.

I thought Paul Walsh would do better, even though he did have a good career.0

I thouht Paul Walsh, who had a more than decent career, was going to have an even better one. I think the same could be said of Scott Parker. Both players ended up playing for England but they looked like they could be absolute superstars at one point.0

Sean McGinty, Went to Utd as a teenager, fell in with the wrong crowd. Last player shown the door by Ferguson.Was head and shoulders above his cohort in the academy.5

He looked promising for us that last summer in Ireland during Pre-Season0 -
Peter Shaw. The word "Colossus" is seldom applied, and rightly so in his case. He wasn't as great as the sum of his parts.

Lewis Page but having played barely 100 games in 10 years it answers why.0

Poyet for me - I thought he was Parker with more technique . Speaking of the latter , he had the career I thought he would have . Outstanding for us and West Ham, decent for Spurs0

Quite a few discussed had their progress checked by injury, and I'd add Kevin Nicholls to that list.
