RAVEL MORRISON had three cars – but couldn’t drive.
The midfielder, 30, came through the youth ranks at Manchester United and there were high hopes for the prodigy.
But after just three first-team appearances under Sir Alex Ferguson, he left Old Trafford in 2012 to join West Ham.
Morrison has gone on to play for a further 11 clubs in England, Sweden, Italy, Mexico, Holland and now the USA – but was axed from Wayne Rooney’s DC United squad.
It was during his loan spell in Birmingham in 2012-13, though, that he left Paul Caddis baffled by his number of motors despite his inability to actually get behind the wheel.
Ex-Birmingham man Caddis told the Undr The Cosh podcast: “He just came with an entourage, a massive entourage.

“Everywhere he went. He couldn’t drive, but he had f***ing three cars.
“They were just full of people, full of people.”
Caddis – who also revealed he used to have to sweep up John Hartson’s pubic hair at Celtic – also commented on how Morrison was one of the most talented footballers he has ever seen.
But he was as “unreliable” as he was “unbelievable” – and once even had to escape from the Blues’ training ground to avoid the police.

Caddis added: “What a f***ing talen. Never seen anything like this on a training ground in my life.
“Unbelievable. I can understand now why Sir Alex Ferguson and all that were buzzing off him. In training, it was as if he had glue. I know people say that all the time but he was a joke.
“He could see things that people couldn’t see, he could make passes, he could dribble, he could f***ing go and get the ball back. It was a joke, absolutely unbelievable to watch.
“But so unreliable, so unreliable.
“I remember one day, [assistant manager] Terry McDermott came up, ‘Right, Ravel can’t leave the training ground. The police are here for him.’
“Something had happened at home or something. Tel’s come up, said that, and then in the same sentence went, ‘There’s a hole up in that fence up there if you wanna go son.’
“Ravel’s f***ed off away in the hole. The police were like, ‘Where is he?’ and he was like, ‘Dunno, must have walked past yous.'”
