No way he gets to that ultimate stage in his career to be a man of the match in a WC game (no matter it was Greece) or have that longevity for club and country if he heads to the bright light media spotlight at any big English clubs

Hargreaves had a full pro career that lasted about 8 seasons. I wouldn't apply longevity to describe it.
What exactly are you suggesting would have happened to him if he had went to England?
He would have fallen apart under the pressure? It would have been too much for him?
