If you look at George Best's career on the wiki page he'd probably be the no1 example of a great career fading into obscurity.

Did you know Ron Atkinson offered him a return to United during his managerial reign

No i didn't know that Dandy.
Given the drinking culture at United during Atkinson's tenure had Best agreed and joined he might have died even sooner.

Most of the Leeds Utd team that made the Champions League semi final - Kewell, Smith, Bowyer, Bridges

Former Aston Villa starlet Lee Hendrie.
First team regular with even an England cap, then lost his place in the team and became a nomad jobber for lesser teams.

Harsh on Bowyer who's done canny despite being the most limited of those mentioned.

The rest i'd fully agree with.

Almost forgot Stanley Collymore - What a waster...
