10 Players Who Didn't Fulfil Their Potential At Spurs

5. Jamie O'Hara

Jamie O'Hara started his footballing life as a kid at Arsenal before joining Spurs as a seventeen year old in 2003. In his time at White Hart Lane, he made 34 league appearance for Spurs - fifteen of which were from the start - scoring two goals, and played a further 22 times in other competitions, scoring an additional five times. A series of loans to lower league clubs like Chesterfield and Millwall saw him return to Spurs a better player and he earned England Under-21 recognition - gaining seven caps between 2008 and 2009 - and a lot was expected of him at the club as he became a starting player. Indeed, he won both the One Hotspur Junior Player of the Year and the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters Trust Breakthrough Award for his performances. However, Harry Redknapp's arrival at White Hart Lane saw him dramatically fall from grace, losing his place in the starting line-up and being loaned out to Portsmouth and Wolverhampton Wanderers - and a £5 million deal that saw him join the latter on a permanent basis soon followed in 2011. He still plies his footballing trade at Molineux to this day.
