The one-time wonderkid left to train alone in a concrete wilderness of city towerblock staircases.

Ranger was a 17-year-old "wonderkid" when Kevin Keegan named him on the bench for a match against Arsenal in 2008.

The latest Norwegian wonderkid, winger Nusa joined Leipzig from Club Bruges this summer - despite being a target for Chelsea, Tottenham and Brentford.

Touted as the next Diego Maradona, the wonderkid had his legs insured for £1m, filmed McDonald's adverts, appeared on television shows and in magazines, did promotions for Coca-Cola and signed sponsorship deals with fashion and sports brands Paul Smith and Mizuno.

In real life he also joined Real as a teenager, aged 18 in 2010, and he was another wonderkid, who I thought was the next best thing.
