Another who has struggled to play a full season for most of his career.
This is probably why:
“Butterfield missed the rest of the 2011–12 season through injury following a shocking ‘tackle’ in the New Year’s Eve derby encounter with Leeds United bringing his “amazing” form to an end. Scans taken after the match showed it to be torn anterior cruciate ligaments. He finished the season – albeit prematurely – with five goals to his name and a growing reputation in The Championship, described by his manager Keith Hill as the best midfielder in the league.”
Obviously a decent midfielder, but still not a CF.
