Why The "New Wayne Rooney" RETIRED at 24 to Sell Hats 

the comparison with Robertson was an excellent point. Talent alone cannot make an elite professional, it’s about hard work, determination and attitude!

A striker having more loans than goals is hilarious.

A legend for any lower league team on football manager. Three promotions in a row with him as star striker for the mighty Clyde FC.

Never even heard of this guy. Surely he can't be classed as a wonderkid if he couldn't score for Swindon

All these years later and I still cannot fathom why young players sign for Chelsea? Surely other clubs are prepared to pay them the same money?

Apparently once they saw Castlemilk they begged the authorities to return to Somalia...

Money grabbing family that had little to no respect for what tommy burns actually did for them , disgraceful so they were

Never knew about his story, thanks for the education. Loyalty and respect are paramount for Islam and Somalis. As a Somali, I’m sorry to Celtics fans for this guys horrible disrespect and disloyalty.

I watched that 2009 debut game and was excited about him for Celtic and Scotland...little c%&t got what he deserved in the end

Imagine being unlucky enough to leave war torn Somalia and ending up in a scheme in Glasgow 🤦🏻‍♂️

Watched him live at old Trafford as Chelsea youth beat Manchester United youth 2-1, he scored first, Nathan Ake also played

"Just as Scottish as anyone"...

Celtic looked after him too well as a kid, he had no struggles, only got the best and everything was done for him, he got far too big headed and thought he was bigger than the club so went to Chelsea, while at Chelsea he did well but as soon as he went down a level on loan and had to actually apply himself and put the work in it all fell apart over and over again.

"Karma is a bitch" as the old saying goes !!

Wow am stunned. Tommy Burns done everything for this young lad before he passed away .What a waste of talent

They sent an 18 yo black kid with an attitude to Russia? Doesn't sound like a good plan

One of his first loan moves was to some random club in Russia. Just how bad was his attitude to get sent there! 🤣

I remember being worried this exact thing would happn to Billy Gilmour when he signed for chelsea from Rangers, but i didn't realise just how bad Islams attitude was

Tommy actually helped his family get asylum in the country as they were to be extradited, he done celtic dirty snd reaped what he sowed, HH1888 YNWA

Satisfying downfall

I'm a Rangers fan but I was absolutely disgusted at how he acted at Celtic. Especially after what Tommy Burns did for him. Tommy was a gentleman of the game and did not deserve that

n how did wonder kid repay "Tommy Burns" ???? i for one am GLAD at how it turned out.. !

0:41 The culture shock of moving to a third world country like Scotland must've been hard for the lad.

He was 5 years older than he pretended to be that's why he fell off so fast

Love the robertson part st the end

randomly came across this and its very well done

Entitled garbage. This story ended exactly as it deserved to. Take, take, take and repaid it by spitting in the faces of those who did so much for him. He's the John Daly of football, hawking tat out the back of a van to make ends meet. Bravo.

He found his forte in selling hats 😂

When he was playing for Hibs at the time, he came into our workplace with his team-mates (who were regulars and absolutely sound and no ego at all) and he was just incredibly arrogant, carried himself as if he was king and we were peasants. It's a shame because he had great talent but his attitude was appalling.

Great video and perfect timing! My brother a massive Chelsea supporter and I just saw them play v Real Madrid on their pre season USA tour. While watching warmups we were discussing former players and remembered Feruz.

The fact he was from Somalia should have been enough of a red flag for Celtic!!

Lad your videos are great .

Mate I think your channel is fantatstic. Brilliant content, brilliant narration. Can see you put a lot of hard work into what you do unlike the waster in your video

He betrayed Celtic & paid the price

I mean if he ever thought he was getting near the Chelsea frist team he was Delusional

What a horrible horrible person he is

I'm not a football ⚽ fan but I remember this kid, what a wee fud 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A waster who’s parents just wanted money. To say that about Tommy Burns is unforgivable.

Every young player should see this and be very wary of agents and non football money men!!!

I knew the guy personally we spoke the same language "Swahili" and there had been some issues, but if he had practiced more he would've did better since he had a lot of opportunities.

good riddance to bad rubbish

He was shite .... That's all this video needed

great video mate! hadnt heard of this player... feel sad for him what a waste of talent!

It seems once these shitty agents get involved. They fill these kids heads with greed and little respect for anyone or anything.

He may have betrayed Celtic but he was a Champ manager hero for about 3 years and then nothing

I still remember having a fifa 15 career and letting him play. Despite him having no potential in the game, I managed to give him an 89 rating. I always thought he’ll be a great striker, but things turned out bad for him. Very sad

Andy Robertson is the perfect player comparison for anyone through this era... when everyone is focused on headlines and price tags... how underwhelming is the headline ; Liverpool pay 8 million to releagted side Hull City... how miraculous is it he is consistently one of the highest for assists per year, highest clean sheets, highest successful tackles, forward passes, retreiving the ball after his team loses possesion, etc etc, the stats and numbers that actually matter, Robertson is always high on the list every year... you could add more details to that, about the amount of injuries he has had during that time, about the amount of games played some years, like when Liverpool had to qualify for the champions league and 18 months later were playing in the community shield and super cup after winning the competition, i think it was something like 63 games that year.. a leader for his national team, a leader on and off the pitch at Liverpool... mentality monster, when Klopp said this team are animals, it was because he seen Roberston in the corner of his eye 😉

This guy went to my high skl but he’s much older

A lot of the blame needs to go the parents and agent and also on modern football and their greed. The big clubs back in the days of having 56 first team members, they would swallow up any promising talent so nobody else can get them. The same almost happened to Odegaard, luckily he got himself out of it, appears at 15 in Norway snapped up by Real Madrid. Apart from financial regulation now we also need regulation on development years and more regulation on squad sizes. Is Doak going to end up in the same frustrating situation as Odegaard?

His downfall started when he hired that new agent, I’m pretty sure he put ideas in his head.

He was given the chance to completly change his families lifes , not only did he let down the country that took him in , he completely laughed in the face of tommy burns ! ✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

what a title 😂

Too much too soon

Remember potential superstar Dembele? We are too quick to claim players are superstars whilst pushing them too hard.OLD FIRM are worst offenders!!😏😏

Fantastic video. Thank you.

Great made wee piece mate

Stories like this fella and Ravel Morrison are tragedies tbh, two fellas who couldn't get out of their own way

So he isn't Scottish at all.

Serves him right

He came to Hibs on loan with loads of hype. He was absolutely useless.

Slight mistake at about 4 seconds with "Poential" btw

He wasn't fit to lace Toomy Burns boots as a player or a human being.

WOW. Never heard of him, but really enjoyed the video.

I had such high hopes for this kid when he was at Celtic and Tommy burns raving about him I remember how raging Lennon was when he fucked off for Chelsea. What could have been had he had a better work ethic

Would love if you do a video about Andy Robertson and his journey

Sorry but he was a somali living in scotland not a scot.

People think he fu×ked up leaving celtic I think the opposite would he have stayed he still wouldn't have been good enough at least by moving south he got paid until he is 24

Ryan Gauld was the Scottish Messi

Some players do and others don't. Just like with regular people in life outside of football. It's all about personal choices and actions.

He should’ve never betrayed Celtic the way he did

What a treat 🎉

Partially, agents, the family and money are to blame for how this turned out. But yes his attitude seemed to be really bad. It's depressing to see a minority in the comments openly being racist (and describing themselves as racist, as if that's something to be proud of).

He said he wanted to play for Somalia in 2019

we kept waiting for him to stop being a tit and get it together but i just didn't happen. Could have been great

Feruz-😭 Robertson-🎉😂

His parents and agent are more to blame for this, he was just a kid and needed his parents and agent to step up, they are the ones who didn't manage him well and didn't keep him grounded and protected from himself.

Never heard of this guy, but his story reminds me of Fábio Paim. He was a bigger and better promise compared to Cristiano Ronaldo at sporting youth academy and after his mode to Chelsea he disappeared.

Ben Doak is better player, so is Billy Gilmour. Scotlands have produced much better players, and lost them, this case is nothing special. The lad Celtic invested all this time and energy in was shite anyway.

He was also going around with the gangsters 😊

Had he stayed at Celtic, would he have ever made it? Celtic refuse to give youth players a proper chance. Look at Dembele more recently, among many many examples. It's hard to reject a move to Chelsea (who were at the time one of the best teams in the world). However, his attitude was horrendous. But, can we judge him? He had an extremely tough start to life and then had years of praise and money thrown at him at a very young age. It's overall, a sad story, and who knows what could have been. But, maybe it was all hype. Cherno Samba, Freddy Adu etc.

Dont piss of Celtics 😂

Please make one with Michael Laudrup. The Brian story was fantastic

Banger video as always

Celtics youth squads have a few of these players that have left. Vata and Kelly for example

I'm gona look him up I wonder if I can get a celtic fc hat in swahali off him 😂

I remember him being great on a Football Manager game

Great video!! Any chance of a video on Alan macinally

He blew it by leaving Celtic too early rather than bide his time and build up in SPL first, bit disappointing to be honest as the greatvTommy Burns actually helped the family become UK residents, first sign of cash he jumped, Chelsea gave his mum and dad jobs and got them a house, should have stayed and he probably thought at point while he was nit playing at Chelsea

I blame Chelsea more than any other factor. Most of the players they've sent out on loan multiple times have amounted to nothing either. Probably the worst club for him to go to. Lack of culture is a huge issue there.

poor guy was probably better off in Somalia than castlemilk

Just goes to show that talent alone won't get you to the top . Dedication and hard work is also needed. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy 😂

Damn, just imagine if he'd had a good mentor after Tommy Burns.

All too familiar story, a talented kid from an impoverished background and his head gets turned by the promise of wealth and riches by greedy agents and representatives. He falls down the ladder and they move on to the next one, it's a tale as old as time.

Castlemilk Mentioned 🗣️

The loan moves given to him were ridiculous tbf

I never heard of thiis guy, and i'm from Glasgow. What a shame; in terms of the waste of talent. If he could've made that step up to senior level and play upfront for Scotland

Don't know why he didn't feel at home in Castlemilk, it's very similar to Somalia.

Shame the other wonderkid who ended up in France didn't work either, can't remember hia name but would love a video on him

Gers top! Cursed! A bit of a dafty😢

Sadly, I remember his time at Swindon. He got dropped for all those games because he was telling everyone that would listen that he was too good to be here. He even tried telling a group of fans that, and threw a strop when he was asked why, if he was too good for us, he'd been utter shite every time he played. He's still considered among the worst signings the club has ever made. At a club that not only signed serial rapist Nile Ranger, child killer Luke McCormack and, well, all of last year's squad. Bet he still believes he was too good for us, though 😂
