Adam Johnson

Johnson is one of those players whose pure talent felt almost too easy. A Middlesbrough academy product who debuted in the UEFA Cup at 17, he had the left foot and the dribbling guile to be an England mainstay. At his best, his close control and crossing were among the most exciting in the Premier League, and I remember being captivated whenever he picked up the ball wide. Football can be a brutally unforgiving arena, and his story is a stark reminder that ability alone doesn't guarantee a clean trajectory. As a fan, I still think of the winger he could have become.
