The rise and fall of James Maddison: Out of form for Tottenham and overlooked AGAIN by England, the £45m man has been usurped by younger stars… and he's running out of chances to fulfil his vast potential

James Maddison was a guest on BBC's Football Focus in the early days of the Covid lockdown when Dan Walker was presenting the show from home.

On bookshelves behind Walker was a framed photograph of Moustapha Hadji playing for Coventry City. In the same spot in the previous week, there had been a photo of Youssef Chippo also in action for the Sky Blues.

Maddison, who was born in Coventry and came through the club's academy before joining Norwich City at the age of 19 was asked if he wanted to extend the theme.
