It's crazy to think now, but there was a time when Francis Jeffers was considered one of England's next big hopes for the future. Imagine Jeffers as the Harry Kane of his generation, only without the 30-goal season, he was simply hyped up to be the next big thing in the English game. Such a burgeoning reputation during his stint with Everton led to a massive, £8 million move to Arsenal in 2001, but he would flop spectacularly in London, being largely found out as a player who simply couldn't match up to what people were saying about him. From there, the man started to dwindle down the pecking order of the English game, before Rangers came calling, loaning Jeffers from Charlton in 2005. Perhaps this run was the nail in the coffin of what had once been such a promising career - during 6 months in Glasgow, the striker notched 8 games, largely sitting around doing nothing and not scoring once.
