How "The English Ronaldinho" Sacrificed His Career To Become A GANGSTER

do you know why a shark keeps moving they got to keep moving or they'll die they can't breathe or something there's a psychological condition known as elixia common in certain personalities the individual craves almost ceaseless action which enables them to avoid acknowledging the hor things they do you are the biggest threat to yourself that's what being a human being is but some people are more self-destructive than [Music] [Applause] [Music] others so listen to this the years 2008 and Men United are the best team on the planet yet Sir Alex Ferguson can barely keep an eye

on his players instead he is mesmerized by what's going on on the pitch beside them he blows his whistle puts his arm over Rio fur and shoulders and as him to walk with him a few seconds later they stop and he tells them look at this kid the number seven he's the best kid I've ever seen Fergie had coached kids like Rooney Ronaldo or Beckham and still Ral Morrison was the one but as much as Rio quickly became as mesmerized by him as Sir Alex was he soon realized those weren't just words of Praise Sir

Alex was worried he needed someone else to confirm that what he was seeing was real before his starv vanished like a supernova as Rio locked eyes with him he could tell his soul was vacant it's like he wasn't even there before he had even become an adult Morrison's scars already ran far too deep healing was not even in the Horizon his father had abandoned him as a baby his relationship with his mother had been hanging by his string since he could remember and his grandparents house was the only place he could ever call home at

his local Club the Fletcher Moss Rangers there had never been a match for his talent every one of his coaches could go on for hours about the kiding assisted with one day be as big as David bham but up till the age of nine his one trial at Man City had to be cut short either because his mom refused to drive him to training or because he'd get physical with any teammate who there tackle him or misplace a pass regardless only 6 weeks after the first man united scouted laid his eye on him he was

already joining their Academy in the Scout's own words he was the new Ronaldinho the stand out past among the thousands I've watched but no matter what as he grew older there was one thing no one could look past his behavior was strange to say the least Morrison wouldn't drink her party mostly just hung around his neighborhood writing his BMX he often arrived late to training seeming completely oblivious of what time it was and the strangest of all though he complained of tooth aches constantly with some of his teammates claiming his teeth were just rotten he

was terrified of the dentist so much that the club itself had to drive him to the clinic but that was only a droing hoping to bring some sense of responsibility into his life United locked him into a professional contract on the day of his 17th birthday and only 48 hours later Morrison was arrested on two charges of witness intimidation the sketchy friends that often watch his training sessions from afar it rub someone at knife point and once the victim contacted the police Morris and joined in as a group of 15 people showed up in their

front lawn threatening them with more violence as brakes were thrown to their Windows the family was so trauma TI they put up the house for sale and flly the city yet when the judge locked up both of his friends while giving Morrison a 12-month referral order warning him that if he did not behave it'd end up in a Cell next to theirs it still seemed like he did not understand the seriousness of what he had done after all that was all he knew as much as he kept himself relatively tame for those around him that

sort of behavior was just what you got to do when someone steps on your toes not to mention that the one reason the J G easy on him was that United were partially at fault as not a single one of the club's Representatives ever showed up in court after the on duty psychologist found that though he had been diagnosed with a severe Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder United had stopped him from taking his medication claiming it was banned by the fa who refused to open an exception for him regardless the kid once nicknamed as the Academy's

Lost Boy had already been stemmed with a new label men United want to be gangsters thankfully over those 12 months things didn't just go well for Morrison they went great he started training with the first team as stories went around of him nut magging the Mania vage three times in the space of a minute and by October not only had Sir Alex offered him his first team debut with independent quickly identifying him as one of their five players to watch out four but when he showed up to his office the next morning with a letter

for him thanking him for the chance all he could say was that I was cop smacked the kid had a good heart he was just beaten by his background and now it was time for the fa youth cop look no team is as attached to that competition as United first they won it with their Busby babes who led by Future balandor Bobby Charlton went on to win their first European Cup then with gigs Beckham and skulls the famous class of 92 they won it again and in the blink of an eye those kids were winning

their first travel success there meant success in the future and now in a team with the likes of Paul pgai and Jesse lingard Rooney himself was quick to note that Morrison was Superior to All by a country mile that they looked at him like he was Superman Revel Morrison was their new leader and he did not shy away from making Justice to the heroes of the past in the last 16 he scored their only goal against Newcastle in the quarters with the team two goals behind Liverpool not only did he score Ace to turn it

all around but he made sure to celebrate by kissing the United badge in front of their Rivals to send the fans into absolute Euphoria in the semis he opened the scoring versus Chelsea and once in the final with a game tied against Sheffield he scored the first then won the penalty for the second and pulled an absolute Masterpiece to put them three goals ahead being Head and Shoulders the player of the match and leading every fan to the M's full introduction into the first team however just two days later he was back in court being

convicted of criminal death damaged for throwing his girlfriend's phone out the window of her apartment after she angrily threw his phone on the ground upset over some text message he had received but though this one incident piled in comparison to the previous one this time the media were all over the case blowing everything up with one newspaper labeling him the shame of United and then hounding a member of the staff until he ended up handing them the unfortunate quote right wherever he wants about that is a waste of space eventually digging up one teid story

after the other from the fact his relationship with his own mother had gotten so sour that the police had to be called to his grandparents house just a few weeks before to a story labeling him as a boot Thief claiming he was stealing boots from the packages Nike would send to the star players so that he could sell them off to his friends there was even a whole thing about the Kid supposedly unplugging Rooney's phone so he could charge is inside leading Rooney to smash Morrison's phone to Pieces even though Rio had supposedly told them

that it was okay but even though for a while Sir Alex was still insisting on fighting off his agent who kept coming in with supposed offers from everyone from Newcastle Arsenal Chelsea to even Barcelona and PSG once the press conference in which he should have been celebrating his 25th anniversary as Man United manager was interrupted with questions over tweets Morrison had made a day earlier after being left out of a reserve game he began seriously losing his patience telling them that there is always something with him every day there's something new and by deadline day

he gave up and reluctantly ended up taking a misly offer from West Ham on the condition that their manager Sam allardy would do anything to help him telling him he just needs to get away from Manchester and start a new life if you can sort him out he'll be a genius as well as eventually writing in his own autobiography that there are some players who just aren't emotionally strong enough to overcome the hurts of their childhood those inner demons Rebel Morrison was the saddest case it was very painful to sell him nevertheless that changed nothing

after just one match for West Ham Morrison was already being fined by the fa for using homophobic slurs in the middle of a Twitter argument with a fan and even before that as the club went out for a match in Eastern Europe despite being warned of a possible eating disorder they were all shocked to see that he completely refused to eat any of the local food instead surviving on a diet consisting of only chocolate bars he had brought from home half a year later they were already sending him down on loan to Birmingham where he

baffled Everyone by admitting he had no idea the guy even was after the manager told him he could become the next bgas coin then making matters worse by insisting on using his first name on his shirt inside of his last leading Manny to call him a self-centered breath though really he just didn't want to be associated with his dead beat father had to that to rumored at one point he fled their training grounds through a hole in a fence after sporting the police outside heard the time he sneaked his friends into their pitches letting them

use the other players boots without permission leaving them behind all mudded up and two months in Lee Clark was already being pressured by the other players to terminate his loan but then he did what he does best and dropped a superb performance against Lester in a match he had been told was his last chance then heading a stunning volley a month later and managing to raise his level enough that by the end of the season even if Burmingham wanted to keep him Sam ardise himself demanded he come back to West Ham once there he started

things off with an incredible preseason quickly forcing himself into the starting 11 and even scoring four goals in that first month alone including one nobody will ever forget getting the ball in his own half and going through the entire Tottenham team before chaping it over the keeper with national team manager Roy odson watching from the stands not just taking the club's goal of the Season award but even leading allise himself to claim that one moment had been enough to justify every scent they had paid for him then just 9 days later showing up for the

England under 21s quickly getting his first goal and then going on a crazy run leaving the keeper and both center backs laying on the ground in pure desperation as he slipped it into the net and suddenly even though he still managed to get into a scuffle with Wilfred zaha he had proven once again that even in a team with the likes of Harry K Ward prow and JN Stones it was simply A Cut Above and still before even getting his flight back he made sure to score such a spectacular goal in training that the clip

itself went Mega viral so much so that out of nowhere claims that Morrison would be Roy Aron's shock inclusion for the 2014 World Cup we're gaining massive traction this was his best ever chance to flip his career script around but then it all blew up with Renee millstein the same guy that made better about to the Premier League's best Striker after years struggling to Wi n United came in claiming he could do the same with Morrison using the fact he had previously coach the at United to influence the player into joining him at Fulham before

sending in a misly 4 million pound b not just infuriating the westm fans but leading the club itself to send them to cards claiming they were illegally turning their player against them and negotiating behind their backs ultimately winning the lawsuit but destroying their relationship with Morrison who ended up getting sent out on loan to QPR in the championship where despite five goals in five matches over March he ended up being lefted out of the championship's playoff final watching their promotion celebrations from afar and not only and very obviously losing out on his golden ticket to

the World Cup but quickly crashing out out being sent to jail once more on two counts of assault against his girlfriend and her mother being accused of having slapped her and threatened her with unspeakable acts eventually still being let out on Bale and somehow finding it a good idea to complain on Twitter that West Sam wasn't giving him a proper chance eventually being cleared of old charges and being sent on one final long to CI as Sam Allard I shred and to send him down to the under 21s and have his contract ripped up though

it still somehow end up his loan terminated as they sent him back after only seven matches at 21 years of age Revel Morrison was being let out of his contract with his manager telling the press that you can lead the ORS to the water but you can't make it drink moving between clubs for the seventh time in a desperate attempt to emulate pogba's success at Juventus shocking Everyone by announcing a move to Lazio out of nowhere and I can't stress this enough this was an awful decision Morrison joined the team 6 months before he could

even be registered to play and though he sent their fans into ecstasy scoring twice and providing two assists in the first preseason match then very quickly manager Stefano Pioli came out complaining that somehow after all that time he couldn't speak a word of Italian and a month later Morrison was tweeting out the word January already hinting at a move away from Rome that never happened with Lazio going through three managers in a season and seemingly forgetting the guy even existed which lended him right to the bidon doo list for the worst signing of the season

years later when he finally spoke out about his experience he shared that he was oppressed leaving some of the worst moments of his life completely isolated claiming no one was willing to help him with his mental problems that women they talk for males it's different no one will come out and listen to you even worse yet that his disordered eating only got worse that I don't know if it's a mental thing but in my head I kept telling myself I couldn't eat once he got back to England even when his former United coach Warren Jo

to commit Wigan he ended up having to reject him at the end of the trial claiming he wasn't the same man then after six more months without playing even tried to get back to QPR hoping to replace the infamous ad Del out but even they felt he was too much of a wreck so incomprehensibly he pull the same stunt again and out of nowhere he became the first ever English player to move to the Mexican League but in one way or another it went sort of okay actually pulling some numbers and getting some serious game

time even calling it one of the best seasons I ever had though we'd only cast him even further into the Shadows being sent back to yet another 6 months with no game time at ltio before in burchel came to the rescue bringing him over to Sweden on a free deal and helping him rebuild His Image insisting he was a changed man which eventually ended up being enough to earn him and move back to the Premier League with his new manager at shaffield Chris Wilder even claiming that Morrison could be a 60 million pound player if

he got a good run in their team though in the blink of an eye that already be claiming their formation didn't require number 10 likey him sending him out to Middlesboro where in the middle of a relegation battle with a pandemic at their door and one second after the other it all stagnated again leading him to a social media melt toown following some last and desirable comments made by Wayne Rooney who after watching him go through yet another failed move now in the Netherlands decided to welcome him into his team at turby County once again

trying to rescue the career of the boy who is now 29 years old and somehow it kind of worked playing under his old teammates reval Morrison revived his career impressing enough during the preseason to be put into the starting 11 right from the first game of the actual season scoring a stunner right then and there eventually even getting his first call-ups to the Jamaican national team Since switching his Allegiance a few years earlier and managing to pull off enough jaw-dropping moments that by the end of the year as Rooney moved to DC United he had

to bring him along with him even if the Darby County fans protested a move on social media becoming the first fans to actually be sad to watch him go and once there he actually did finish out the year with some really solid performances in the MLS making it all seem more oill than ever only for the club to be forced to leave one foreign player out of their squad in order to meet the quotas and surprisingly picking Revel Morrison who just disappeared for 2 years now showing back up in the United Arab Emirates second deer

the place where dreams go so they can die
