Chris Eagle came into limelight when he scored his first senior goal for United in a 4–2 Premier League win over Everton; after coming on as a second-half substitute, he scored a 93rd-minute goal to put the result beyond doubt as United went five points clear in their race for the Premier League title. Eagles was born in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire , and was a season ticket holder at Tottenham Hotspur, whom he went to see with his family. Originally coming through the youth system at Watford , Eagles left when he was 14 to join the Manchester United academy . The compensation owed to Watford for this move would later form part of the package which took Danny Webber in the opposite direction. After leaving United in 2008, Eagles signed £1.2 million fee wih Burnley where he spent 3 seasons helping them to win promotion out of the Championship in 2009 . He was sold on to Premier League side Bolton Wanderers in July 2011, where he stayed for another three seasons. He went on to have brief spells with Blackpool , Charlton Athletic, Bury, Accrington Stanley, and Port Vale. Manager Owen Coyle said: "He can play as a striker, or behind the striker or wide or as a central midfielder. He gives you a host of variations, but outwith that he's a talented footballer and that's what we want – young exciting talents to complement the quality we already have." However, Chris Eagles last played for Port Vale. Primarily a winger and attacking midfielder. Source: http://whenhow24.blogspot.com.ng/2017/10/what-happened-to-chris-eagle-by.html?m=1 |
