I wholly disagree that Hendrie wasted his talent. He played 250 odd top-flight games. So what he only got one cap, so did Brian Little and he is still revered by some. I think he made the most of his talent and I don't share the view that anymore application would have made any difference. maybe he has carried on playing because he needs the money, maybe its because he genuinely loves the game and he's still young enough to continue to play. Maybe he got annoyed at Walsall because we turned on a player because decided that they didn't like him.
He's a product of youngsters being paid lots of money to play football. We can't sing their praises, celebrate their goals, laud their abilities and then criticise them and demonize them if they don't turn out to be what we decide is acceptable.
