There comes a point in every player's career where a difficult decision has to be made.
Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard found himself in this position when announcing his Anfield exit in 2015, ending his lifelong association with the club. For most individuals, however, defining calls of this nature are often required far earlier on in their development.
This proved to be the case for Liverpool-born midfielder Neil Danns, who signed for the Reds at the age of 12 before leaving at the age of 16. Part of a select group invited to spend two years at the FA's National School of Excellence in Shropshire, Danns was not offered the professional deal he had been holding out for upon his return to Merseyside.
