@@asphetto i rlly want to discover what talent i have, i feel like i am not interested by anything in life, i'm an african 6'4 ppl ask me if i play basketball everyday i say yes but i never really played it, the only thing my parents trained me for in my lifetime was studying. I really wish i would have had a sporty lifestyle but my life is boring af and i guess it's too late now to start any sports im 19 already.
As a Newcastle fan myself, most of us expected him to become a major part of the first team, but his temperament and his poor behaviour obviously meant that didn’t happen… He was on True Geordie’s podcast and he admitted the Newcastle night-life was a huge temptation for him!
This chod had the world at his feet......playing for Newcastle United.... most young Georgia lads would dream to play for them. But what can I say the guys is a prick threw it all away
I was raised by a single mother with 2 other siblings in one of the most dangerous places in Rio . Father figure it's important, but we never got in trouble with the police so it's in your DNA .
@OffThePostYT a lost loads of friends to crime and had numerous opportunities to join a gang and make Ps but that was the education I got in my house , nothing in this world is free, if you wanna something you gotta work hard to earn it , but for some people taking a short-cut is cool , what about the trauma and distress he brought to his victims? Why not mention it , I don't feel sorry for him and he was gifted with a talent that load of us wanted but let's blame the fact the was raised by a single mother the biggest BS .
Morrison could have potentially been world class, but ranger… no way. Ranger could have been a half decent premier league or good championship player, but never world class.
By the amount of chances they gave him, this guy could’ve been the best player ever. Such a shame he’d rather steal a £700 then use his talents to become a multimillionaire 😔
Rewarding bad behaviour is something I am dead against. It upsets pupils who work hard and behave well to see these idiots being given every opportunity that they are being denied. It is soul destroying.
Stop I remember a class mate being horrible to teachers every class, his punishment? Trips into town for food during class time and being brought on days away…. When our year didn’t get to go on a year end trip…Didn’t matter he was making it impossible for everyone to actually learn
I started supporting Newcastle Utd in around 2009 so obviously I saw his breakout season in the flesh and honestly when he first broke onto the scene he looked like one of those players who would make it uno. Could imagine him leaving us and winning league titles with Chelsea. He was still flawed them but remember this was the era of Ballotelli, Adebayo, Ben Arfa, Taarabat etc so that didn't really seem to matter. My Dad often compares him to Saka saying that if Nile Ranger had that household that he could thrive in he could have reached similar heights. It is a shame however he seems, with age, to have matured and is doing good for himself so i wish him all the best. Players like him are why I fell in love with football
Innit, I knew a kid who was playing at youth level for a premier league club and when he told me he took the day off because his Mum said he could, I said you're crazy, another kid could take your place. I later heard he thought I was just jealous, (of course I was lol) BUT I wanted him to make it. Sadly I heard an injury finished any chance he had.
Top 5 biggest wasted talents in England’s football history. Had a cousin that played with him and will never shut up on how Nile was the best young player he’d ever seen. Shame how shit friends can ruin your potential
@@CristanioPeweyyyyou can certainly be born that way. People don’t learn to be sociopaths. They are just attracted to people who encourage that kind of behaviour.
Can’t remember the year but I was randomly at the Wireless Festival one year; largely forgettable, but for one moment where I saw a group of like 20 dudes chasing after one guy in order to do harm to him… the person they were chasing… Nile Ranger. Crazy scenes.
So basically the clubs overlooked that he was a career thief and a loser because he could play a bit. Doesn’t say much for football really. Anyone else would have been put away years ago.
Hearing that Colocinni was trying to help Nile was nice to hear. He was a really good guy and a proper captain. Nile was set to be our next big thing and it was always such a shame things went the way they did.
@@OffThePostYTNiles always been cool and popular, i grew up with him to a certain extent, his family and my family are like family due to the generations growing up in church - including us. The only bad thing to say which nile will admit himself to, is that choosing his friends/family he grew up with as a pose to taking football and the blessing it actually was at that time and for life it is really, was the wrong choice. None of us know deeply accept him and whoever, so we shouldn’t judge. I have a feeling it could be something darker than most imagine. Niles only a few months older than me and i have a feeling what I suffered from to this day is what could be the case with nile. All im gna say is, the devil is a liar, and we know better cmn from a christian background. Big up my bro tho and god bless, last saw him at church on new years eve/day💯
I lived in his garden shed for a year and he would practice kicking the ball against it a thousand times a day. I knew he was a prodigy. I even taught him how to properly slide tackle. Sad to see his descent
So many athletes In The states grow up rough!! Some make but some don’t, so many stories of super athletes ruining their career because of their environment and dumb decisions! Saddest thing in the world is wasted talent!
Great content... Very very well put together!! Wow, its clear from the clips that Nile had it!! Great touch, strong on and off the ball... If only.. If only 😢😢
When Shearer looked like he was going to get the Newcastle job permanently after Newcastle had been relegated he did not want to buy a new striker because he had full faith in Ranger's ability, above Andy Carroll. I often wonder if Shearer had got the job and made Ranger his main striker that season would it have ended any different, probably not.
Got to know Nile well over the years, unfortunately it was all about image and hanging about with the wrong crowd, me and a x-player tried and tried to turn his career around and send him far away as possible, a team was gonna give him a chance, 1 year deal with an option for another year but it did not happen, simply because of greed and he just simply could not get out of the circle.
i was a footballer one time.. the city knew me very well and they loved me, till my brain decided to go on the other route not a safe one and know i regret that i didn't keep my mind right and worked on my dream my life is not that great.. i still have people who telling me to start working again in the football field because it's never too late and i have a lot of talent but i feel like i can't go back in that mindset i don't know it's a weird feeling and in the present time i'm lost, very lost..
Sorry to hear you feel like this for real if you have the talent don’t waste it a mind is a precious not to be wasted you always have time to turn it around.
Is it fine if i ask some personal questions? Logically one would go the football career path and focus on it and preserve it since it makes the most sense.

Bloody shame, he will certainly live with an eternity of regret and shame for the path he walked, the older he gets the worse it will be because he'll understand better and better, and his life might well be quite the struggle by then.
UK legal system is a joke. This dude would be doing ten years in some states in the US. Habitual offenders never stop unless they’re in prison. That’s why they got the 3 strike law, 3 felonies of the same type of crime and your doing life. It has to be class A felony though and violent crime.
The start of Rangers problems was that many of his closest friends were gang members in Wood Green. Throughout his career he would regularly come back to London and hang out with them.
@@OffThePostYT Indeed, Wood Green has one of the most notorious street gangs in London as well. Friend of mine who lived in Wood Green used to tell me he regularly saw Rangers flashy Range Rover in one of the estates that gang members hang about in. I met Rangers mum a few times and you couldn't have met a nicer woman.
He had the type of talent we all wish we had, the talent to make it to the Premier League.... And this fool kept fucking it up, despite a multitude of chances.
I am sitting peacefully (with all kinds of stress and things to deal with in my daily life) on a bus. And then someone takes my phone out of my hand and ran off. 😡 I would be angry and hurt 😔
His dad didn't care about him? The start of so many of these stories. If men can't be there for the kids, they shouldn't be making babies. This guy had *so* much talent. Incredible that he just couldn't keep it together eh? Massive sense of entitlement, though.
let's not exaggerate - Nile Ranger is not one of England's biggest criminals nor was he ever one of England's biggest stars. Small time crook, possible decent Premier League player.
After all is said and done he still has a net worth of 5 million. More than most of us will ever see in our lifetime and that is the most disgusting part of his story.
@@presacanariox2558 damn the misinformation on the web. I checked again since “I’m fried” (wish I was btw). One site says 61 mil but no way. 1-5 mil seemed to be a number multiple sites said. Then I found one saying it’s 100k-1mil and that’s the lowest I could find. The last one seems the most realistic. Do you know something, is he flat out broke? Enlighten instead of insult
I’d like to know if any one of his friends told him to cut the stupid behaviour. It seems they dragged him down at every opportunity, albeit he is ultimately responsible for his own actions
run the streets for some is an addiction, the fun and excitement, the feel of the adrenaline. addictive personality doesn't always mean drugs. then u have the mental side, seeing, hearing and participating in all that violence, u know there has to be teens suffering from PTSD.
Very sad man is baller. Indiscipline. Seems like he is troubled by some trauma from young.. Pops leaving him and his mum must've had a profound negative effect. Easy to judge the brother, but you haven't lived his life. In hindsight we would all make different choices previously. Love ✨ & Light Salaam 💙
Behaviour and listening to your peers is everything. Unfortunately for Nile, he constantly did the opposite. He had virtually everything handed on a plate. People like him always learn too late. Very few people get the chances he got. He just wasted it all away. He's not the only one grown up without a father figure. Could have had it all if only he behaved. Once you have a police record, you are marked and they never leave you alone.
Nile was a gangsta posing as a footballer smh he used his talent to take advantage of the clubs that wanted him smh he was being spoiled and he knew it which is why he kept doing bad and unfortunately they as well rewarded his bad behavior with more signings, more money and of course more chances lolsmh unbelievable
I can see now why alot of footballers dont reach their full potential. Realistically you can fall many teirs below the Premier league and still live a very comfortable lifestyle.
Just to play armchair psychologist, he seems to be seeking dopamine fueled activites. Be it buying expensive cars or getting off on dangerous activities, they should have made therapy conditional part of his contract. Seems to have a big impulse control problem as well
Yes but succeeding at something is all about 'deferred gratification' i.e. I could eat one cake now or wait half an hour and have 2 cakes to eat (the marshmallow test) i.e. twice the reward. Therapy can't teach you self-discipline, having role models (e.g. a father) to guide and direct behaviour can.
@Databrokersarethedevil Yes but he clearly hasn't got any self-discipline so he's just going to flunk out of therapy because learning to defer gratification is uncomfortable.
Look at what Mcgoldrick has managed to do and think about how this guy was supposed to be better. Don’t blame the people around him, he was his own enemy.
Southend fan here, I know we had a woeful season in 2021 but when we were desperate for players and saw we brought him back, i was fuming and immediately thought that hes gonna come in and fuck up the mentality, but it was already fucked. Was only a kid during his first stint so I didn't know the bigger picture until he was gone, and I liked how he played for us becasue he was a talent. The second spell was terrible as it was the one ex-southend player I didn't want at that time.
Unfortunately some parts of the video are so horrific they had to be cut out, I hope you understand ❤️
Yeah
He wasn't ever England's most promising player.
He’s from Wood Green in North London, not West London, and that picture you used is from South London lol. Some confused guy
Like what?
@liamjones9115 Well said.
I think he is doing this documentary while being threatened by Nile.
misbehaves > gets in trouble > apologies > gets rewarded > wonders why he's still a menace
Exactly
"How to become a fraud with wasted potential"

As you can see my mind isn't right, i don't know what happened to me bro.. but know i hate the streets because the game is rigged and real persons are like diamonds.. very rare. I'm still young, over 25 years so i still have hope something good will happen for me :) now i just don't want to die without having a house and a family, i have a plan to get out of this situation i have God on my side so it's all good. :) I hope i answered your question, i tried to say it as short as possible and cut some dark parts. :)
Yes, it's fine :) @Dee-yj1im
i don't blame anyone for my actions, my parents really had a lot of money when i was a kid but they were not interesed in my football carrer because they had something else going on like work and stuff like that. Almost all my club colleagues had good shoes and equipment for training and for the official games even they where poor most of my collegues very poor.. but they was pushed from behind by important persons, me i had to sell my phone to buy 1 pair of shoes fvck the phone i said, i buyed the best predator instinct shoes and i showed how happy i was for that decision to someone very very very important in my life and i was expecting that person to be happy but it didn't go very well.

Wow brother thank you so much for sharing!
I’ve never seen someone be given so many chances, there are people who would die for that kind of opportunity
'nile ranger was England most promising wonder kid' said literally no one ever.
👆 facts
He was 🔥 when he played for Newcastle??
Maybe not England's most promising wonderkid, but definitely had enough talent to make the first team.
Dude was living like he’s in GTA
Bloody shame, he will certainly live with an eternity of regret and shame for the path he walked, the older he gets the worse it will be because he'll understand better and better, and his life might well be quite the struggle by then.
He could be well enjoying his rewards by now but chose the wrong path
A truly talented player csn not play for 2 years come back and play like he never left.
Nile is obviously a menace🤣
Haha definitely
😂 nile go gangster with his bb gun
UK legal system is a joke. This dude would be doing ten years in some states in the US. Habitual offenders never stop unless they’re in prison. That’s why they got the 3 strike law, 3 felonies of the same type of crime and your doing life. It has to be class A felony though and violent crime.
Well said 💯 right
THIS DUDE HAS THE BEST LUCK IN THE WORLD HE GOT CHANCE AFTER CHANCE
20:35 That is a hilarious tattoo considering he literally got handed everything to him by others and he fucking failed everyone of them. 😂
The start of Rangers problems was that many of his closest friends were gang members in Wood Green. Throughout his career he would regularly come back to London and hang out with them.
It proves your circle can really make an impact on your choices
@@OffThePostYT Indeed, Wood Green has one of the most notorious street gangs in London as well. Friend of mine who lived in Wood Green used to tell me he regularly saw Rangers flashy Range Rover in one of the estates that gang members hang about in.
I met Rangers mum a few times and you couldn't have met a nicer woman.
I went to the same school as him. He was a few years younger than me. It's true Wood Green is still rough
He had the type of talent we all wish we had, the talent to make it to the Premier League.... And this fool kept fucking it up, despite a multitude of chances.
Proof of a good vid as I don’t even like football but I’ve just subscribed after watching this 👍🏻
Absolute legend mate!
I am sitting peacefully (with all kinds of stress and things to deal with in my daily life) on a bus. And then someone takes my phone out of my hand and ran off. 😡 I would be angry and hurt 😔
He was NEVER englands Brightest star,thats a plain lie
Exactly. A nobody
Why how tragic. Imagine being that talented that so many clubs want you this bad.
FOR MORE THAN ONE REASON, THE WORD WANKER COMES TO MIND
Defo has scummy moments
Walker squared. The clubs were delinquent in giving him any games at all.
His dad didn't care about him? The start of so many of these stories. If men can't be there for the kids, they shouldn't be making babies. This guy had *so* much talent. Incredible that he just couldn't keep it together eh? Massive sense of entitlement, though.
I was expecting Quincy Promes 😂
Same😂
let's not exaggerate - Nile Ranger is not one of England's biggest criminals nor was he ever one of England's biggest stars. Small time crook, possible decent Premier League player.
Gotta get clicks by any means necessary
After all is said and done he still has a net worth of 5 million. More than most of us will ever see in our lifetime and that is the most disgusting part of his story.
5 Mill? You’re fried 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@presacanariox2558 damn the misinformation on the web. I checked again since “I’m fried” (wish I was btw). One site says 61 mil but no way. 1-5 mil seemed to be a number multiple sites said. Then I found one saying it’s 100k-1mil and that’s the lowest I could find. The last one seems the most realistic. Do you know something, is he flat out broke? Enlighten instead of insult
Loop wow really?
@@OffThePostYT are you referring to me saying “I wish I was blank”
I highly doubt that.
His "friends" obviously just wanted to see him fail. He probably realises that know or if he doesn't he will do. Wasted talent like Ravel Morisson.
Football teams are enablers. They'll look past anything as long as there's goals scored
I’d like to know if any one of his friends told him to cut the stupid behaviour. It seems they dragged him down at every opportunity, albeit he is ultimately responsible for his own actions
If someone is determined t ruin themselves against all odds, then leave them b an concentrate on those who want to better themselves
Used to see him at Wood Green north London with about 7-8 people, always up to no good! They used to go cinema and rob the place!
Scum bag bunny
You used to see him in the bookies in wood green back in the days
Crazy honestly
3:53 lmao sitting on each others laps yeah, they were very close friends I can see
Really enjoyed this video. Great Job!
So glad to hear it!
run the streets for some is an addiction, the fun and excitement, the feel of the adrenaline. addictive personality doesn't always mean drugs. then u have the mental side, seeing, hearing and participating in all that violence, u know there has to be teens suffering from PTSD.
Very sad man is baller. Indiscipline. Seems like he is troubled by some trauma from young.. Pops leaving him and his mum must've had a profound negative effect.
Easy to judge the brother, but you haven't lived his life.
In hindsight we would all make different choices previously.
Love ✨ & Light
Salaam 💙
It’s insane that just because someone is good at a sport they’ll be forgiven again and again
THIS GUY JUST KEPT DOING CRIME AFTER CRIME AND HE KEPT GETTING BAILED SO HIS MOM WAS COMPLETELY USELESS. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE NEED DADS. SMH 🤦♂️
This guy sounds crazy. He still made it to the Prem. Hope he sorts himself out.
This guy was Ravel Morrison on steriods
💀
😂
Behaviour and listening to your peers is everything. Unfortunately for Nile, he constantly did the opposite. He had virtually everything handed on a plate. People like him always learn too late. Very few people get the chances he got. He just wasted it all away. He's not the only one grown up without a father figure. Could have had it all if only he behaved. Once you have a police record, you are marked and they never leave you alone.
Nile was a gangsta posing as a footballer smh he used his talent to take advantage of the clubs that wanted him smh he was being spoiled and he knew it which is why he kept doing bad and unfortunately they as well rewarded his bad behavior with more signings, more money and of course more chances lolsmh unbelievable
Yeah fam smh man
Huge shame
I like how you used smh as a full stop
More thug than gangster.
Great vid - what an unbelievable tale of self destruction. Sad...
This is why the UK should not give these criminals so many chances, Nile was a lost cause and needed to be in prison for a long time.
He never wanted it. He was never hungry. His talent didn't work hard.
I can see now why alot of footballers dont reach their full potential. Realistically you can fall many teirs below the Premier league and still live a very comfortable lifestyle.
It’s so sad to see man
Irony is during that time phones were crap !!
Still worth some pounds to a Year 7 though!
Sad 😢 he was a good footballer. I remember him at Newcastle Utd, people have to be careful out there.
He joined a team.called Broadwater Farm? That will keep him out of trouble lol
I remember when he first broke onto the scene at Newcastle. Feels like a lifetime ago
Just to play armchair psychologist, he seems to be seeking dopamine fueled activites. Be it buying expensive cars or getting off on dangerous activities, they should have made therapy conditional part of his contract. Seems to have a big impulse control problem as well
Yes but succeeding at something is all about 'deferred gratification' i.e. I could eat one cake now or wait half an hour and have 2 cakes to eat (the marshmallow test) i.e. twice the reward. Therapy can't teach you self-discipline, having role models (e.g. a father) to guide and direct behaviour can.
@Databrokersarethedevil Yes but he clearly hasn't got any self-discipline so he's just going to flunk out of therapy because learning to defer gratification is uncomfortable.
Oh boy. I remember Nile Ranger. I had so much hope for him at Newcastle. Sad story. Too many chances.
Way too many sadly
West London? He’s from North London, at least get your facts right.
Was born in West London.. Obviously moved.
He was born in Wood Green, which is North London@@Cube146
remember an 18 y.o ranger VS Arsenal, he looked so promising! but then the problems came! a criminal rather than a footballer!
And he still managed to rack up 50 G/A in 180 games, what couldve been
Crazy man!
"Was caught in possession" I appreciated that!
Nile is an absolute waste of talent!
How far could he have gone?
@@OffThePostYTHe would be a top striker in the Premier League. 30 goals a season
@@GeGeHD😂😂😂😂
@@GeGeHDTake it you no nothing about football top striker 30 goals a season he hasn't scored 30 in career 😅😅😅
@@skye8493 take it you know nothing of sarcasm...or spelling apparently.
This guy got soo many chances in life that its crazy...
Could you do one on Gavin Grant? The footballer convicted of murder.
I'll add it to the list!
All this because he didnt have a father figure as a child! The value of a dad is very understated
I’ve never facepalmed so much in my life 💀
remember being at wireless festival once and seeing him fighting about 3 guys lol
No way for real?!
This could be a very entertaining feature film
It could be an interesting black comedy.
Look at what Mcgoldrick has managed to do and think about how this guy was supposed to be better. Don’t blame the people around him, he was his own enemy.
Nile doesn't deserve a foot ball documentary rather something else..
Southend fan here, I know we had a woeful season in 2021 but when we were desperate for players and saw we brought him back, i was fuming and immediately thought that hes gonna come in and fuck up the mentality, but it was already fucked. Was only a kid during his first stint so I didn't know the bigger picture until he was gone, and I liked how he played for us becasue he was a talent. The second spell was terrible as it was the one ex-southend player I didn't want at that time.
He’s 32. I sure hope he has time to turn his shit around. I’m 36 i gotta believe
He has so much time
No chance. He's barely played more than a handful of EFL games in 6 years.
Better to take the risk with a young lad who has discipline.
Brilliantly made video, subbed
