'Freddy Adu bags his 12th hat-trick of the season, days after collecting the prestigious Player of the Year award. The American wonderkid will go down in history as one of the greatest players in the history of football, scoring 623 goals in 520 games. Sensational.'

Ah, Football Manager 2008 was a great game, wasn't it?

What happened Freddy? The boy touted to become the next Pele instead once ended up advertising handheld vacuums on Twitter to obviously try and suck up some cash in the process. Banter.

Here's the picture of Freddy, looking extremely happy with his brand new, top of the range 2-in-1 cordless Vacuum. Jokes aside, this is a very sad picture - what could of been.

Unsurprisingly at the time Twitter users did not sympathise with the American, who is now 27 and without a club after failing his latest trial with MLS club Portland Timbers.
