10 One-Trick Footballing Ponies Who Made It At The Top Level
8. Aaron Lennon
Aaron Lennon was one of English football's great hopes when the then-19-year-old earned a spot in Sven Goran Eriksen's 2006 World Cup squad. In the decade since, though, his gains have only been marginal.
The ability to float effortlessly through crowds of players and emerge at the foot of the opposing penalty area is one of which many players can only dream, but the nippy winger has never been able to combine it with the vision to pick out a pass or anything more than a teasing, hopeful cross.
Despite playing more than 200 games for Tottenham, Lennon's services were promptly dispensed with when the incoming Mauricio Pochettino decided to take his new side in a different direction in 2014 - and so too has the former Leeds man struggled to find his place at Everton.
