Having been pressured and forced to not be medicated for my severe ADHD during my teen years, this brought me to tears. I always knew I saw something in Ravel, and with stories like this I am just happy to know that he wasn't entirely abandoned, and can still contribute to the wider football world. Bravo man, great video.
@@chrisdiaz9011 and? either you haven't watched the video or you're lacking in the emotional depth to understand its contents and his story. too bad. good luck.
Sadly, if you know about these things, Ravel is highly likely sociopathic (given his troubled upbringing). The impulsivity, inexplicable self -sabotage, inability to consistently listen are great indicators. The point is having genius talent doesn't mean you automatically you have a fantastic mentality. Ravel is who he is and it just needs to be understood / accepted - good or bad.
This made me drop a tear. Please if you watching his videos and you go through some shit do not give in come back watch some more, enjoy life watch some dive more into soccer or football trust me it can get you through rough storms. Also if you can get help or accept it if you feel its bad it doesn’t make you weaker it will make you stronger. Sometimes pride is something to swallow not uphold.

I remember being so excited about him at the time-I was a kid too so probably couldn't understand some of the stories that came out about him. That interview with Rio was really moving. You could feel the humility in his words.

It's always nice if you can just point to circumstances to deflect responsibilities, but at the same time, you dismiss the fact that you are part of the circumstances and therefore do have an impact aswell.
I’ve met kids from the same estate he came from, you could almost say they were one step behind in evolution to being human beings with no concept of right or wrong. Very sad
What a sad sad story....I wish him well and that he finds some peace somewhere in life... Clearly a guy searching to be normal and accepted. But the universe has not allowed this.😢

Reminds me of Marcus Edwards from Tottenham Hotspurs. Marcus says he's move to Portugal saved his life and career, I feel like Ravel needed something similar in a move away from England pretty early on
Ravel Morrison is the classic story of talent and no control, discipline ergo 12 years of car crash after car crash...obvs no one took him aside, thing is he probably didn't listen even if they did...Ballotelli comes to mind.
He did occur to me, though Balotelli seemed more like a wilful child. But, huge waste of talent there and inability to even last as long with a team as Mourinho. To Balo's credit, he did provide us with far more examples of his talent in the major leagues than did Ravel.
It’s always a combination of nature and nurture. He wasn’t solely a victim of his circumstances. Players all over the world that have very unstable difficult upbringings
One of the most random signings my club ( Atlas Guadalajara) has ever gotten in 2016 and he played well when he was given minutes I remember a good game of his against pumas UNAM and Puebla fc. But I believe the language barrier made it hard for him to adapt to Mexico.
Just went back down the rabbit hole you can see him score some nice goals during his time in mex against Toluca and Querétaro. Gotta admit when I was younger I used to think he would be out ginac since he was English and came from the United academy. Wish he could’ve stayed longer in Mexico
Sad. Personally, would love have his talents with the since I practiced for years and never came close to pro debut and moved on with my life professionally. I made peace long time ago and still absolutely love football, but always wished I had that spark that these kids had.
I disagree about being the product of your environment. I grew up in one of the worst boroughs of East London at the time and I've made a successful, respectful life of myself without getting into trouble. Plenty of opportunities presented themselves to cause trouble, but at the end of the day, you're the one that makes the choices
I'm with you there. But you're still a product- you just made good choices. There are reasons for why you made those choice (seeing people doing things you disagreed with/agreed with). I don't know, I guess it depends case by case
Congratulations on your successes.. But that's you, and you must definitely be part of a select few.. Some are capable of making the positive steps. Some are incapable. Everyone's different.
Thank you for this video. It was a sad video but nonetheless very informative. it's always sad to see someone so talented, not reaching his seiling for whatever reason
He's neurodivergent and wasn't given the care he needed, of course that doesn't excuse his actions but as somebody who also has ADHD but wasn't diagnosed as a child because I was 'Too smart' and as a teen because the doctor said 'You don't want to be on medication or anything' and have subsequently made some really stupid impulsive decisions as an adult largely because of this I can empathise with Ravel, shit back when he was at United and West Ham I used to heavily criticise him for wasting his talents, little did I know he was just like me.
There is an exemption for athletes to take necessary meds with a doctor’s note. Simone Biles has ADHD and has been on meds since childhood. But maybe football has standards other than those of intl gymnastics (FIG) or Olympics? Thanks for the video! I feel kinda bad for this player whose name I have never heard before. Why don’t clubs assign a mentor to a player with “attitude problems” but loads of talent? 🙏🤔
As a football fan first and foremost it makes me so incredibly sad that he got to showcase his immense ability. As someone with severe adhd i can say that im lucky that i had good people around me in my teen years, without them i would have probably ended up either dead or incarcerated. Having a diagnosis like adhd is never an excuse for whatever shit you do but it sure explains alot of why you end up in situations that a "normal" person would understand is bad. Try to remember that its after all is a disability, its not a character defect and although you can treat the symptoms with medication and therapy the core issue is something you are born with :)
Ravel got called up to Jamaica, and he initially did well, however, just like his club career, he fell out of favour and has not been called up in about a year. 6 months to a year
One day scouts and managers will start to value things like hard work, determination, bravery etc as the MAIN qualities before even caring what the player can do with his feet. If Morrison had any of those qualities he’d have done a lot better
Despite all his troubles Ravel Morrison has made a lot of money from football. I just checked his networth and it shows $90 million dollars. Some successful players have not made that much money at 30 years old. He should live confortably with that amount of money.
I did not know he had ADHD... wow. makes sense. This kid was a wild one. Always in the papers for the worst reasons. If someone has a mental issue and is stopped from taking them because of doping rules is sickening.
He probably just wasn't as good as people thought he was, just a championship player at best. Alex Ferguson also thought Bebe was the next Ronaldo, and Bellion the next Henry.
One is a victim of circumstances because one choose so. Everyone, rich or poor, violent or non-violent is a victim of circumstance. What we do with the given situations is what sets us apart. In my opinion, Ravel Morisson has no excuse for not succeeding. As harsh as it may seem.
It doesn't seem harsh so much as moronic. If you really believe that the children of millionaires are "victims" of circumstance in the same way as children who are trying to concentrate in school having not eaten in a few days and having had a few hours sleep due to being the primary carer for an addicted parent, I suggest you give it a try. That example is from real life. From kids I have worked with. According to you, they chose that.
@@VelvetMetrolink what I find moronic is how one can read something and not understand it. I could give you thousands of examples like the one you have just given. I was a child coming from a poor family, struggling to put food on the table. But I CHOSE not to remain like that. And no one told me - Hey, do this, it's going to help you. But to keep it in the right context - Ravel Morisson had probably the best football players next to him as examples and he CHOSE a different path. Now go think about that moronic, pal.
oh man that's so sad. Honestly players need a better health network, especially when they are dealing with mental health problems. Here in Germany we got caught completely off guard when Robert Enke committed suicide due to his depression.
The background thing is a cop out. Some of the best players to have kicked a ball, have come from slums/favelas, where there are shootings, drug gangs. War torn areas of Africa or South America. Stop making excuses for him.
Of course the main (and i believe the only problem) is his attitude. But when speaking about it we have to consider the circumstances that he grew up with.
Ravel is a warning to players suffering from ADHD. Ravel was never allowed to meditate his condition. It would mark him positive for doping. The FA refused to make any allowance for Ravel. Manchester United pleaded his case for years. Ravel went unmedicated since 14 years old and it showed in his career. Untreated ADHD and a large salary, at a young age, is a deadly cocktail. Imo The English FA fail and continues to fail players with ADHD!
You have to be careful with the very young wonderkids. A lot of the time they are just incredibly advanced for their age but stagnate. I remember the highlight videos of 12 year old jean Carlos chera. Kid looked like a kid Maradona but never became anything
As someone with adhd who in high school was just starting to get medication, I was explicitly told by doctors that I should give up on the prospect of going to university, because the environment would be too challenging for me to succeed in. They were almost right but I have since graduated, although I need to get back on the medication for the other reasons stated in this video and more lol. I feel for this guy, I wonder if he would've been allowed the medication, what kind of player he would have been.
Hey Tinashe, I love your videos, I love the music, I love your style. You have a great way at presenting yourself, and editing the videos. However I feel recently you have spread yourself a bit thin… You still do a great job, and you are posting a lot more than usual, but I feel videos like this fail to reach the depths and analysis I’ve seen you achieve (the video about Son being considered in the same bracket as Salah being a case in point as one of many). I appreciate you want to get as much content out as possible, but don’t feel like you need to appease us on a regular basis. You’re great, just be you. 👍
I bet nobody stopped to look into his home and personal life until he was on the verge of the first team. He probably disappeared after training day after day, and no one at United had a clue where he went or what he did. Maybe its about time clubs who sign children to their academies take more of an interest in the childs all round life as well as their football.
just look up u-17 wold cup teams who got 1-3 from the last 10 years and you will see barely anyone of these players got to be a great player. doesnt matter how talented they are the step between youth and adult sport is massive so if you cant take that step you are somewhere in the semi professional leagues at best
Used to see Ravel round Warrington, one time just randomly running through traffic on a rainy day when he was technically injured when contracted to a team in Mexico. The guy is just... A total unknown. There's talk of him having an IQ that is technically rated as "stupid" and below 50. There's talk of him having oppositional defiance and Autism/ADHD. He seems to have straightened himself out now but he was robbing phones from senior players in the changing rooms and all sorts at our absolute pomp under Fergie. He was barely raised nevermind being raised right... Ritalin definitely is not a PED though and is a clear exception, that's a false story. One thing is for sure, at 14/5/6 he was above Pogba, Keane, Evans, Lingard, all of them. By a mile.
The ADHD and the background of poverty can explain some of the behaviour, but assaulting his girlfriend and threatening witnesses with bodily harm is rather behind the pale. There are numerous stories of kids growing up in the barrio or the projects or overcoming the misfit between cognitive diversities and the ethos of the modern system. One thing missing was hearing from him. Did he ever even feign contrition? That said, it is a tragic story, and the fact that ADHD meds are not allowed seems pretty ridiculous. I know that many of the ADHD drugs are counter-intuitively stimulants there should have been a way to get pharmaceutical treatment without violating WADA.
Thats like saying "funny how everyone who commits suicide seems to have depression, what a coincidence" things lik e ADHD make young people more likely to be compulsive and not fit in with society. Not that everyone with ADHD is like that ot its an excuse just is more likely.

You have to be careful with the very young wonderkids. A lot of the time they are just incredibly advanced for their age but stagnate. I remember the highlight videos of 12 year old jean Carlos chera. Kid looked like a kid Maradona but never became anything
there isn't a link for the snagalo website in the description
its almost like him, Dele Alli, Sancho and Lingard have the same mum..or dad!
It's getting cold 🥶 literally COLD
I thought Sir Alex said the biggest talent he's ever seen at Man Utd was *_Phil Jones_* 😅
He probably still earned more in his troubled, under achieving career, than most people do in a life time of a desk job.
So what? I doubt he's got much left of it. I would rather earn peanuts in desk job and be a decent person than a waster who burned through his talent
Great video so sad to see and her about the adhd part
Appreciate the dembare jersey
Sancho following in his footsteps 😅
As someone with adhd who in high school was just starting to get medication, I was explicitly told by doctors that I should give up on the prospect of going to university, because the environment would be too challenging for me to succeed in. They were almost right but I have since graduated, although I need to get back on the medication for the other reasons stated in this video and more lol. I feel for this guy, I wonder if he would've been allowed the medication, what kind of player he would have been.
You should do one on adel taarabt
hey Tinashe you should do one Pablo Aimar and one for Enzo Francescoli as well blth were great players
Hey Tinashe,
I love your videos, I love the music, I love your style. You have a great way at presenting yourself, and editing the videos.
However I feel recently you have spread yourself a bit thin…
You still do a great job, and you are posting a lot more than usual, but I feel videos like this fail to reach the depths and analysis I’ve seen you achieve (the video about Son being considered in the same bracket as Salah being a case in point as one of many).
I appreciate you want to get as much content out as possible, but don’t feel like you need to appease us on a regular basis.
You’re great, just be you. 👍
Such a crying shame. 🙏🙏
The Dynamos shirt… he knows ball💪🏿💙🤍
Jamaican people still love him
Im expecting an utd video soon after that shambolic performance at st james park
I can't believe his upbringing was any worse that any a hundreds of Latinamerican or African players. Don't know if it is a good excuse.
Anyone know what name of the 1st background song is in the video please? I’ve been looking on the prod pink channel for ages and still can’t find it.
I bet nobody stopped to look into his home and personal life until he was on the verge of the first team.
He probably disappeared after training day after day, and no one at United had a clue where he went or what he did.
Maybe its about time clubs who sign children to their academies take more of an interest in the childs all round life as well as their football.
Incorrect. At that time, Fergie and co knew EXACTLY what his young players were up to.
But you can’t always control people you know.
@_Tricky_ you can kick them out of the academy if they're refusing to accept help and change. The threat of that might actually make them change
Huh! Forgot he even played. Poor kid.
dropping allegations/charges doesn't mean he didn't do it.
Just goes to show you that all the ability in the world is worth nothing unless you have a work ethic to go with it.
good video
We have the same problem now with mo ihataren.
just look up u-17 wold cup teams who got 1-3 from the last 10 years and you will see barely anyone of these players got to be a great player.
doesnt matter how talented they are the step between youth and adult sport is massive so if you cant take that step you are somewhere in the semi professional leagues at best
Used to see Ravel round Warrington, one time just randomly running through traffic on a rainy day when he was technically injured when contracted to a team in Mexico.
The guy is just... A total unknown. There's talk of him having an IQ that is technically rated as "stupid" and below 50. There's talk of him having oppositional defiance and Autism/ADHD. He seems to have straightened himself out now but he was robbing phones from senior players in the changing rooms and all sorts at our absolute pomp under Fergie. He was barely raised nevermind being raised right... Ritalin definitely is not a PED though and is a clear exception, that's a false story.
One thing is for sure, at 14/5/6 he was above Pogba, Keane, Evans, Lingard, all of them. By a mile.
Great video!!! I'm gonna need a deep dive on Tanguy Ndombele... As a spurs fan he was the biggest waste of talent I've ever seen.
The funny thing is Ravel was an Arsenal supporter,
Know to Jamaican fans as 'Lord Ravel'.
My mates lad played with him and pogba in the Man Utd youth team and he said he was unbelievable and far more talented than pogba
If you dont get your mind right, its gonna be difficult
What happened to the career of Yaya Sanogo?
I wish Ravel well but this is a "Man Utd" story.
His a free agent now
What a video
The ADHD and the background of poverty can explain some of the behaviour, but assaulting his girlfriend and threatening witnesses with bodily harm is rather behind the pale. There are numerous stories of kids growing up in the barrio or the projects or overcoming the misfit between cognitive diversities and the ethos of the modern system. One thing missing was hearing from him. Did he ever even feign contrition?
That said, it is a tragic story, and the fact that ADHD meds are not allowed seems pretty ridiculous. I know that many of the ADHD drugs are counter-intuitively stimulants there should have been a way to get pharmaceutical treatment without violating WADA.
Next video - dele alli
What’s with all these Manchester United players beating up women? 😢
Whats with all these man united haters making cringe comments on youtube for zero likes 😂😂what a life you have😂😂
Imagine a multiverse where Morrison and Pogba had the mentality of CR7 😭😅
To anyone slaggin him off try growin up like him
Better than Djemba Djemba? Ridiculous!
No one comes close to Eric
Funny how anyone who is a wrong un' these days has 'ADHD' and anyone thick as mince has 'Dyslexia'. Seems awfully convenient.
Thats like saying "funny how everyone who commits suicide seems to have depression, what a coincidence" things lik e ADHD make young people more likely to be compulsive and not fit in with society. Not that everyone with ADHD is like that ot its an excuse just is more likely.
Whereas you're just a massive 🐓, Israel.
your name is Tinashe like the singer?
When I first looked into his eyes I knew he’d flop. Just look at the eyes, there’s nothing there.
He kinda looks like Mateo Kovacic
