At one time, Shaun Wright-Phillips was one of the brightest prospects in England. He won the Young Player of the Year award at Manchester City four times in a row and built a reputation for himself. In 2005, after a brilliant season in which he scored 10 league goals, he was signed by Chelsea.

His performances saw him getting a place in the PFA Team of the Year in 2004-05 as well as earning a career high in-game rating of 86 in FIFA 06. At Chelsea, though, he was reduced to a bench player by Jose Mourinho. Since then, his career has been on the wane.
