i was with nile ranger at protec (Barnet) academy in 2007-2008 season, literally did pre season and saw how talented he was, i remember sitting next to him in the training facilities at potters bar and told him how much of a baller he was and that i couldn't see him staying at barnet, few weeks later news break out at the academy that he was signed by Southampton! he was a real beast at 17.
He mentioned Pete, Pete Edward’s! Absolute scum of a coach, he stopped players from getting transfers to teams like Tottenham and westham from pro tec.
@@Musthecrazygooner yeah I was at pro tec 2004/2005, and Pete Edward's was a horrible bully ,treated me appallingly when I just needed a arm around shoulder, I had a trial for Watford and when I didn't get in he ignored me and then started to make rude comments about me to players horrible horrible bully tbh amazing how they are allowed around children tbh
@@theosworld941 I agree with you bro, most players did need an arm round the shoulder, we expected one to one management, all we got was shit attitude and coach’s that favoured certain players because of their ethnicity. I’m sorry you experienced that bro, he ruined a lot of youngsters, and the other losers that were side by side with him.
I would like to see a 3 man sit down with players like , Nile Ranger , Ravel morrison and another similar young talent that never hit full potential due to their issues on the rise. Let them all dialogue about similar hurdles and vices and self reflection
I'm not hearing any accountability. He said from his own mouth that he turned down 2 contracts because he thought he was worth more. My friend, you have to earn your success.
u must be deaf, he said multiple times they gave him a lot of chances, then he said he probably had ADHD that he shouldve gotten tested for, if you dont like him thats fine but ya comment is BS
That's a bit like saying the so-called indigenous British people with no education are entitled to earn more than the low skills jobs are paying, and you hear a lot of that. We don't want immigrants of colour, but we are too good to do the work they do. If it's good enough for the so-called indigenous British, it's good enough for Mr Ranger.
GRATITUDE AND CONTEXT NEEDED HERE. He has still done better for himself than he would if he followed his peers. He still did better in life than if he stayed on the roads selling food. Well done brother! Still here to tell the tale! And he tells a good story too!!!
Niles was a true baller man. It’s crazy to imagine being in his shoes, life like a movie😅 very humble🙏🏻 you can tell he truly changed and strives to help others prevent committing the same errors.
Comes across like an honest soul. The lacknif structure, boundaries and discipline, as he alluded to, when he was a kid was the foundation of all his issues.
go on my bro 🙌 you still made it in life you’ve played premier league football don’t ever let no man get you down my bro 👊 man like you inspire me i’m adhd mad and if you get it you get 🙏
People don’t realise Nile is actually a cool person, never walked around the academy thinking he was bad or better than anyone else, all this media stuff was always going to happen. I played ball with his cousin the triplets, all talented, and good boys, life unfortunately can get in the way.
I he just went around toon thinking he was king pulling up to young lasses in random streets because he had a rangy I could go on but RUclips delete comment everyone who was on job in toon around that time knows the crack
he has said at school he used to steal his classmates phones from there coats then sell them... he'd also go around all day with his mates in london robbing people.
Massive case of adhd, if he could have been able to understand what adhd is and how it effected him a long time ago things may have been a little different adhd isn’t an excuse and if you don’t have it your never understand it but if you do have it and you do some real research you start to see where it stops you from excelling in places and ways that you very much have the ability to Nile’s was a wonderkid I told him so in the past on instagram as I see a lot of myself in him and were similar age he responded he’s a real guy he’s not a mouse like most men who manage to crack on and become things but behind closed doors are mice.
Yup you’re 100% correct. His constant lateness, his lack of impulse control which kept having him do stupid stuff without a care or being able to stop, his fidgeting, his lack of drive, his bad memory, his lack of being able to explain in detail, are all symptoms. People don’t really understand it so they just deem the person as lazy but it’s really a lack of dopamine entirely or a lack of dopamine in the brain firing properly. He really needs to get diagnosed by a medical professional & get medicated. It would help him tremendously in his life.

Initially says he regrets how his career went followed by absolutely no self-reflection for an hour and a half. Apparently, "absolutely 'smashed' it" everywhere. Scored 28 goals in 170 games - last seen at Boreham Wood. Couldn't even wake up on time. Waster and delusional.
How many of you searched his highlights of his goals after watching this? Click like, good luck brother appreciate life bro and be happy father etc some people have nothing at all but u smashed it g and your still here all the best 😁
This guy.... Unbelievable Footballer.... Something he should've done a long time ago..... Gone abroad.... If he does that I think he could have a second win... Baller... God willing I hope he gets there, as it would be a shame for him to waste the God given talent he has.... Go abroad son 💯
Always remember to keep working hard. Never think you are 'too big' Let this be a lesson to all of us who are pursuing greatness in our personal lives. Humble yourself.
Nile Ranger, where...Nile Ranger how.....always an enigma... every fan loved him, beast of a striker, remember him giving certain defenders nightmares before games (if you know you know..)... pleasure to have met him, hopefully one of these League 2 and high powering National League teams can give him shooting boots to push them up....Nile you never lose..LETS GO!!!
Nice to see this guy seems somewhat grounded and understands what he’s done wrong etc. I’ve seen a few interviews and podcasts with Nile over the years and for the most part he’s always seemed like he was still cocky, arrogant and up his own arse. This one’s changed my mind completely, looks like he’s grown up and understands and takes responsibility for what went wrong. Gained my respect 🫡
Scored 2 goals in over 50 games as striker for newcastle! Was never good enough and now not wanted by any professional or non league club! But still goes on like he had a good career
Whats messed up is that he still doesnt understand himself. Not sure how he can help others, when he doesnt know himself. Hoping he can find inner peace and understand why he was like he was and is.
There is soo much talent that never gets a chance to prove themselves and make it. He made it to the top and then failed to stay at the top. That’s a failure. If it was ability that made him fail I’d keep my mouth shut. This dude was in the police station more than the starting 11.
At 8.38 I muted to comment. I previously watched a commentary of his career. Every other word is like. He had a promising future and threw it all away. I felt his grand/mother pain to the core. I prayed that he has learnt from his pass and how self destructive he was. He has no one to blame other than himself. I will not continue to watch because I'm spitting 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. I wish him and his family peace of mind.
Fair play to him for telling his story and being honest, commend him for that. When minors are coming from nothing and being given life changing sums of money, maybe the clubs need to do more to support player transition. It’s too easy for keyboard warriors to say that they would do differently. @rising ballers, get ravel Morrison on for his perspectives.
Swear bro you are spot on People keep saying it’s discipline but this guy shows a strong pattern of self sabotaging behaviours seems deeper than discipline if you ask me Needs to do some deep introspection or maybe see a shrink Clearly comes from a dysfunctional background
You're concentrating on the wrong thing, listen to what he is actually saying and talking about, it might be a little distracting but he has a very interesting story to tell
He could honestly do quite well in the 5th division or the level below. But he keeps holding out for a top 2 division club. The last time he played at that level was in the 2nd division for Blackpool 10 years ago. And even then he seemed to be average at best. Even if he thinks he could do better. He should at least sign a contract with a 5th or 6th tier club in order to show people he has talent. He is not proving anything to anyone just sat at home feeling sorry for himself.
Jah Jah bro sorry to hear how it went but just know no one is perfect ok. Just know that the creator is real and you’re still here so just continue to be strong if you meant to be a millionaire you will. Hopefully you’re right now. Stay strong ok
Remember him coming on v Arsenal when we were 4-0 down at half time. Changed the game. Absolute handful and wish he'd knuckled down and stayed. Was miles better than Andy Carroll.
Nothing but a clown. He got offerd a last chance at Oxford after all he had done on 52k a year basic to kick start his career and said NO tells you all you need to know about the fella he is just a bottler who thinks he is way better than he was
Real talk about 10 years ago he was a handful in league 1. He should have been a championship or league 1 level player for 10-15 years. Instead he messed up due to lack of discipline. He had good stints at Swindon and Southend that fell away. A waste of talent.
Always support Nile Ranger but i feel like hes told his story too many times in these interviews about how he kept messing up his football opportunities growing up 🤷🏾♂️ (havent watched it yet) but imma still watch hopefully it wont be the same stories and some different conversations & im suree he wears this same NY hat in every interview over the past 5yrs 😅
Newcastle still owed him 3 years on his contract, they with held it until he was older im sure i read 30, was close to a few million quid, that with interest be a nice nest egg for him, in away newcastle still looked after him
@@REALCrazyCritic read up on it instead of commenting, you one of those prople that calls things shit but hasnt got a valid explantion as to why its shit? With thee amount of emojis you have left in the comment you can tell you are thick
This lad could of had it all! The dream all us lads as kids growing up who love footy would do anything for yet he threw it all away and for what!! 🤬 i really can't get my head around it how when someone knows they could make it and they throw it all away!
Everyone is quick to talk about what he didn’t succeed but let’s appreciate what he did 🙌🏽 17 years old playing for Newcastle, looking after his family, not selling drugs like his peers. Although, his career didn’t pan out he achieved what 99.9% of men dream of in their life and achieved it! Played in the premier league
Yeah but he never scored many goals as a striker. I vaguely remember him at Newcastle, he was like a poor man's Asprilla. The guy can't even hit the net in lower divisions or keep his head on straight. If you are generally a great baller, people in higher divisions will sit up and notice,.you come bottom of the pile.if you cant hold your head at Boreham Wood and fail to hit the net past the dog shit.
He understands his issues but he just cant help himself. Needed someone to help him properly back then. Didnt seem to have that someone in his life at the time. Interesting conversation.
Nile ranger is currently a big scammer. He scams women on social media and uses the money from them to live his life🙄 pathetic and sad that he could have and should have been so much more then the man he actually is.
Great story! I don’t want to say what a waste of talent because that would be unfair but Nile could have done much better being managed in the right way!! It’s like he won the lottery and lost it all! Anyway Good luck to him in the future 👍
He seems like a nice guy but I don’t think he’s 100% alright upstairs. Football is not just about talent so people really need to put a lot of respect to Ronaldo and Messi equally.
U know this guy !!! Threw away his dream not once not twice ,not even three times ,more actually lost count ryt ,and even got put in jail a couple tyms which would and should of shown him the end result or where he would 3nd up but still done super Dum things and could of thought felt for him !!! But wen he was asked does he take any responsibility for his actions ect just showed he didnt and still dnt give a shit rly and like he was targeted more than others or like it wasnt his fault ect ,it was all him frm always if any of his ppl frm young kr while he was on his pro contracts would have made sure he never got himself into the shit he did and again always managed to choose the type of ppl he was around wif lived and craved wanting to be the main man ,the center if anyfin good or bad he didnt care as long as he was in the spotlight is all that mattered and tbh couldnt mentor any1 or ever b allowed to vos rly think he would do more damage there are guys that rly rly wanted to be where he was,with even 1 opportunity he was given more than once also had the talent but rly didnt have no choice the family they were born into. Rly didnt learn frm any of it a d that says 2 things either mental health issues ,or my belief that he just didnt give 1 fuck let alone 2 waste MAN a d hope he wakes up every morning and regrets and feeels that wasted talent he threw away like nuffin and is the last thought every night B4 he went to sleep ,cos as much as he plays it like IT IS WOT IT IS ,TRUST ME WEN HE IS LAYING THERE WITH THE SUN UP OR DWN HE SHEDS MORE THAN A FEW TEARS OVER IT COS PISSES ME OFF AND HAS BECOME NUFFIN ANY YOUTH SHOULD LOOK UP TO OTHER THAN A CAUTIONARY TALE OR A DCART BED TIME STORY !!! WOT A WASTE 😤😡😤
Story is dead and played out keeps showing my man on different podcast singing the same song... he fucked up regrets it wasted his life .. Life goes on ..
This guy says he was “banging in goals” here and there yet I just checked his all time career stats and his TOTAL goal count across ALL his clubs is 25. 🙄
Your mental focus is absolutely everything. Talent will only take you so far and this is a prime example of that.

Yeah but he never scored many goals as a striker. I vaguely remember him at Newcastle, he was like a poor man's Asprilla. The guy can't even hit the net in lower divisions or keep his head on straight. If you are generally a great baller, people in higher divisions will sit up and notice,.you come bottom of the pile.if you cant hold your head at Boreham Wood and fail to hit the net past the dog shit.
He understands his issues but he just cant help himself. Needed someone to help him properly back then. Didnt seem to have that someone in his life at the time. Interesting conversation.
Frustrating because we all know the potential he had!
Jesus still loves you Nile.
Once I press that snooze ! 😂😂😂
Good luck nile it aint over till you decide it chance will soon come
Real interview. Good luck for the future.
Could've been worse.
Could've ended up like the triplets.
Nile ranger is currently a big scammer. He scams women on social media and uses the money from them to live his life🙄 pathetic and sad that he could have and should have been so much more then the man he actually is.
He never had that kinda money to spend. I was on the YTS with him
He should write a book
Life is what you make it ✝️🙏
Great story! I don’t want to say what a waste of talent because that would be unfair but Nile could have done much better being managed in the right way!! It’s like he won the lottery and lost it all! Anyway Good luck to him in the future 👍
How many chances does this guy need?? Waste of talent
He seems like a nice guy but I don’t think he’s 100% alright upstairs. Football is not just about talent so people really need to put a lot of respect to Ronaldo and Messi equally.
He doesn’t seem very bright
World at his feet and blew it . And still talks like his 15
U know this guy !!! Threw away his dream not once not twice ,not even three times ,more actually lost count ryt ,and even got put in jail a couple tyms which would and should of shown him the end result or where he would 3nd up but still done super Dum things and could of thought felt for him !!! But wen he was asked does he take any responsibility for his actions ect just showed he didnt and still dnt give a shit rly and like he was targeted more than others or like it wasnt his fault ect ,it was all him frm always if any of his ppl frm young kr while he was on his pro contracts would have made sure he never got himself into the shit he did and again always managed to choose the type of ppl he was around wif lived and craved wanting to be the main man ,the center if anyfin good or bad he didnt care as long as he was in the spotlight is all that mattered and tbh couldnt mentor any1 or ever b allowed to vos rly think he would do more damage there are guys that rly rly wanted to be where he was,with even 1 opportunity he was given more than once also had the talent but rly didnt have no choice the family they were born into. Rly didnt learn frm any of it a d that says 2 things either mental health issues ,or my belief that he just didnt give 1 fuck let alone 2 waste MAN a d hope he wakes up every morning and regrets and feeels that wasted talent he threw away like nuffin and is the last thought every night B4 he went to sleep ,cos as much as he plays it like IT IS WOT IT IS ,TRUST ME WEN HE IS LAYING THERE WITH THE SUN UP OR DWN HE SHEDS MORE THAN A FEW TEARS OVER IT COS PISSES ME OFF AND HAS BECOME NUFFIN ANY YOUTH SHOULD LOOK UP TO OTHER THAN A CAUTIONARY TALE OR A DCART BED TIME STORY !!! WOT A WASTE 😤😡😤
Say what you like the guys honest fair play bro
Story is dead and played out keeps showing my man on different podcast singing the same song... he fucked up regrets it wasted his life ..
Life goes on ..
Yup. I remember watching him on a pod 5 years ago. Watched this for 5mins and it’s still the same thing
@harden1362 it's played out still can't lie! From what I grasp the bredda never grew up was immature
@@hustleno-filta5373that’s why he’s making a interview to warn others
Don't want to be mean but I do not think you should've given him a platform.
Infuriating to listen too
Like like like, ya get me, clearly he hasn’t grown up like ya get me like
Classic case of a poorly developed pre frontal cortex.
You see this story so many times. Same thing with Mike Tyson he did what he wanted because he knew he could get away with it until he couldn't
This guy says he was “banging in goals” here and there yet I just checked his all time career stats and his TOTAL goal count across ALL his clubs is 25. 🙄
As a youth dummy
@@HazeFC. is this you Nile?
@@thisizebztv7199 yes, you caught me
Sounds as though he shook off the worst now he needs to return to the Lord and he’ll be fine. N22 boy !
What a bum
I think 5 more years is in Nile he needs to go get it 💪🏾
26:46 that might be James Troisi.
No it's Bradden Inman. James Troisi had already left the club by then.
Oh ok wasn’t sure if he was still United at that point.
Wasted his career, could’ve easily been a decent level prem forward
Waste man
Have you prem goals and appearances?
Jowkah😂
I’m surprised Tottenham never scouted him he’s from Tottenham
A Tottenham scout never saw him..
Nile ranger wasted his talent it’s sad nothing more to say. Shoutout to him for trying to be better now
I’ve never known someone to mess up and be given so many chances and blessings. It’s actually crazy!
Borrowing money from players is disgraceful tho.
If I was in his position you know I would work damn hard man as I am already doing so without the opportunity and reward
Waste of talent
He couldn't score though for any of the teams regular.
