senorsoupe Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Feruz is a cautionary tale about the fickle nature of football, and a tale that could very well point to struggles with mental health. The football world has a lot of work to do in that regard, I wonder what support he got, if any. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Chic would have had a career at Celtic had he had better discipline. 8 hours ago, senorsoupe said: Feruz is a cautionary tale about the fickle nature of football, and a tale that could very well point to struggles with mental health. The football world has a lot of work to do in that regard, I wonder what support he got, if any. It would be interesting to see what advances have been made in this regard in the last 5 years. From a hard nosed business perspective, if you can make sure you support players so they become well rounded individuals at the same time then you must substantially increase the likelihood of developing top level players. Easier said than done though - how many of us can say we were well rounded mentally as teenagers? Any latter and you've missed the boat as a top level footballer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was given every opportunity, a hell of a lot more than some that deserved it more than himself. Because he’s a young black kid from Scotland in London with more money than he can count, not the right friends and nobody to guide him. It’s like people think young kids should be mature beyond their years because someone puts a bit of money in their bank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Is that actually his account? Whether he likes it or not, we'd need to be the worst side in Europe for a 24 year old with about half-a-dozen senior games to his name to be Scotland's Greatest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Och, we'll no doubt be updating this thread in 2045 to celebrate his promotion to Regional Manager with B&M Homestores It would be lovely to see him resuscitate his career, but then you read bollocks like that tweet and realise he's living on another planet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 What a story this boy had at the start of his career. Was all set up to be an inspirational tale of triumph over adversity, even if he didn't end up making it at the top. Shame that he now is such an unlikeable character that nobody has any sympathy for how his career went. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanton Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I'm sure I remember him scoring a fabulous goal in an age level international. He looked like he would be a decent player at that time, but unfortunately we all know what happened very much a case of talent wasted 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens all the time. When it comes to knuckling down, improving physically and mentally to deal with mens football, many fall short and believe their talent will see them through. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Inexplicably, four years after retiring, he’s rocked up in Serbia playing for Radnicki Nis. Get him in the squad, Steve. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
