Charlie Adam:
Another player whose career has seen a downfall at Liverpool, Charlie Adam had an amazing time at Blackpool, both in the Championship and after their promotion to the English Premier League. He scored 19 goals in the 2009/10 season for Blackpool in the Championship and followed that up with 13 goals in the next season in their return to Premier league. His move to Liverpool was always doubted as he was a star of a relegation threatened squad and critics felt that he couldn’t make it big at Liverpool.
Unfortunately, the prediction came out to be true and Adam played a second fiddle to club captain Steven Gerrard. He played just two games for Liverpool the next season and later moved to Stoke City. His career has resurrected a bit and he scored a belter of a goal against Chelsea last season. However, he has never shown the amazing form he once showed at Blackpool.
