Who knows? we need to remember that he was starring for us in the Championship though, not the Pemier League. We'll never now whether a fit Buckers would have graced the Premier League.
He played for Sunderland in the Premier League.

Often went missing for 50 minutes, then randomly did something brilliant (not unlike Mitoma in the back end of the season). I liked Will, as others have said shame about the injuries. Made a healthy profit on him when he was basically at his peak, and sadly for Will it was all downhill from there performance wise.

Yes his fall from grace was pretty rapid, played in all four divisions of the league in quite a short space of time.

Has he retired now? Shame that his legs gave up as he should have had a solid top flight career

He retired after the 2019-20 season. He set up his own football agency business and handles a number of young prospects in the north west.
