Surely Kerlon is another flash in the pan player. Played brilliantly at an under-17 World Cup,moved to Inter and completely ruined his career (or any hope of a career).

Wonder goals against Arsenal and Spurs and a good one against Fulham on his debut. His full career was slightly flash in the pan to be fair. Started with great promise which lead to Barcelona signing him for £20m, after a mixture of not living up to the hype and falling out with their manage he ends up on loan at Benfica. Ends up playing quite well there and Benfica take the gamble on him paying £15m. He won Benfica player of the year two seasons running before returning back to Cruzeiro due to family problems. After sorting things out (average enough season at Cruzeiro) he left for Europe again this time to Man City, he started well scoring a few goals then soon fizzled out and to my recollection didn't start a lot towards the second half of that season thus meaning he was released. Then we took the punt on him, he scored our first ever Premiership goal (Fulham) went on to score something like 7 out of his 8 goals in the first half of the season then fizzled out again. Before doing the same the following season (started with 4 in his first 7 games) then ended up a free agent. Then he fucked off to the MLS for a season, then back to Brazil. Just always seemed knackered by time we hit December onwards haha. Classic fat Brazilian with a traction engine, one of my favourite player archetypes.

Michael Johnson? Looked quality when he first burst onto the scene, now a full time fat guy.

Serhiy Rebrov. Was our record signing and scored two cracking goals against West Ham in the FA Cup and then just sort of disappeared off the face of the Earth.

When exactly did John Fleck ever 'flash'?

What happened to him? One minute he's looking like a pretty good prospect, and the next I look, he's dropping down a division.
