Adu is currently plying his trade in Sweden after representing no fewer than 13 professional clubs in a journeyman career that was extinguished before it ever got going. The man himself never hit those heights though. Seriously, FM Adu made real-life Lionel Messi look like Ali Dia. He was easily lured to the Premier League early in the game and he soon developed into the best there ever was. That promise was reflected on Football Manager 03/04, with creators blessing his 15-year-old virtual counterpart with near-perfect scores for pace, acceleration, dribbling and determination, as well as a maximum potential forecast. In real life, Adu earned a million-dollar Nike contract at the age of just 13 and appeared destined for superstardom as a kid breaking through at DC United in the MLS. Freddy Adu remains the poster boy for unfulfilled dreams a player against whom all other dashed hopes are measured.
