The End for Trundle

He had the essence to be the star footballer, he had the skill, the looks, even the luxury of a decent looking WAG but he has failed to live up to any of his promise. It was meant to be the move that defined him, make him the better player but striker Lee Trundle left the homely feel of Swansea City and he has not ventured on to much more.
He seemingly moved across the river to Bristol City for a bemusing £1 million pound and failed to find any form, as the goals dried up quickly. He initially joined in 2007 has only 7 goals to his name in the red of City and the fact he could not master the step up from League One remains disappointing to say the least for him and his huge following.
He was certainly flamboyant and a joy to watch when playing for Swansea, scoring 78 goals in 146 games in quite an amicable record as Swansea fans will remember him in high regard. Trundle was a player full of skill and style, so much so that he was a known regular on TV show Soccer AM broadcast his host of tricks and flicks, it was this confidence and cockiness that drove him on to be the player he wanted to be.
He was very much the big fish in a small pond in the lower leagues, and as soon as he took the step up, he was swallowed completely. The Championship is not for the light hearted, Trundle simply just got out done and a better class of defender took no nonsense as there was no time for his tricks. This is an omen for any lower league player out there; don’t follow greed and money as it may look like Trundle will have to take two steps back before he can enhance his career once again.
He went out on loan to Leeds United where he was pretty much mediocre and unless he gets a good pre-season under his belt he will fall without a trace. He’ll maybe stuck watching reruns of his Soccer AM exploits more fondly than he possibly anticipated.
