Signed at 21 on a rumoured 10k a week ( cos he played once for Utd you know).
Couldn't adapt to big boys football yet was given a contract extension ( the riddler) before he who knows everything about football finally realised that Harrop was a show pony and cancelling the contract.
Out of the game at 27 resting on his fat bank balance.
One very lucky boy who made millions.
 
This thread's started because 'The Sun' today flagged-up on (many inc. mine) people's phones today - his sad fall from (any) grace. Yes it's a shame, but many clubs gave him possibly more-than-a-single chance.
The article writes that his Utd goal came from a pass by Pogba. Maybe another one who flattered to deceive ?

Played 39 times in his first season with PNE, September of his 2nd season suffered a knee injury, played some good games and linked up well with Ben Pearson.
 
Frokjaer looks to be the player Harrop should have been.

But either way, there's a former players thread for this.

Glad to say there's not chance anything from that disgusting rag will ever flag up on my fone
 
He's been discussed previously in the Former Players thread.

Pretty sure I predicted back in Summer when he was released from Northampton that I'd be surpised if he was still playing in a year or twos time.

Something missing / not quite right with Josh though. Certainly had some talent in there, but never seems to have consistently 'clicked' for him wherever he's been, particularly in the last couple of seasons.

I wish the lad well though.
 
Strange about how folks are very supportive of mental health issues but in a situation like this which may well be involved with the lad’s mental health people want to stir shit.

These big clubs need to be more responsible for bringing youngsters through and building them up before casting them off to be failures still in their teens….

Don’t know about Harrop but wouldn’t surprise me if mental health was involved.

It's weird that it ( any flippin' "Sun" stuff ) arrived on my phone - instead it's more often than not summat from the LEP ( or rarer than that- the Daily Mirror) - my theory is that it's because an Algorithm has sussed that I open PNE -related articles - and it must be the first time in literally ages, that there's been an article about a PNE player in any "News International" / Murdoch-owned Rag.
So - it came up .
