List of players that looked like their careers were over, but managed to claw their way back to the top.
5. Gareth Bale
Bale was nearly shown the exit door at White Hart Lane after initially struggling to make an impact.
Tottenham were ready to part with the winger with Nottingham Forest and Birmingham touted as potential destinations.
As many will remember, he went on to win the PFA Player of the Year and the Young Player of the Year award for the 2012/13 season.
4. Daniel Sturridge
After initially struggling to get in to Manchester City's star-studded line-up, Daniel Sturridge opted to move to Chelsea. He again struggled to get in to the team and a lack of playing time and was lucky to get the chance to sign for Liverpool.
Since his move he has scored a wholly impressive 18 goals in 20 Premier League starts and currently tops to scoring charts with eight goals.
3. Aaron Ramsey
Aaron Ramsey's struggle to reach his massive potential can be blamed on the horrific injury he suffered at the hands of Ryan Shawcross.
Before the leg break, young Welshman had been making waves for the Gunners and had broken in to the first team at the tender age of 18.
After spending many months out, Ramsey returned and looked a shadow of his former self.
2. Michael Carrick
With the massive price tage of £18m luring over his head and fans hoping for the next Roy Keane, the simple, unglamorous play from Carrick went unnoticed.
As a defensive midfielder, Carrick has gone about his duty in the United midfield making over 200 Premier League appearances and picking up five winner's medals.
It was only last season that his contribution was truly recognised for a PFA Player of the Year nomination.
1. Fernando Torres
The infamous £50m price tag has hung on the shoulder of Fernando Torres ever since he moved to Chelsea.
Such was the weight of the added pressure, the Spanish international failed to produce his best at Stamford Bridge.
But Jose Mourinho has proved why he is the Special One once again by revitalising Torres.
Against Manchester City, Torres missed an absolute sitter on par with the famous miss at Old Trafford.
The old Torres would have cut a dejected figure for the rest of the game but the new Torres fed off the anger of missing the chance and inspired Chelsea to a 2-1 win.
Not only did he create the first goal with a great run but he drew a mistake for the second and capitalised.
