JawD 31 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Totally, Nobby and Dyer worked great together. Nobby didnt have the legs but since beardsley has prob been our most intellegent player with the ability to pick out a pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shackbleep 0 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Think it was Stevie who mentioned Goddard and Acuna earlier. Both great shouts for most underated player. Also, Aaron Hughes. Criminally underated imo. Always thought Speed was a fantastic player. Provided much needed defensive cover when Bernard/Robert were flying down the left. Goddard is a brilliant mention - saved us from the shit in 86/87 and when we sold him in the summer of 88, we ended up nose-diving out of division one the following season. Mark McGhee was another underrated player in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Shearer shirley? we had him as a young 'un and let him go to Southampton. We never had him on our books like. Played in a trial match in goal or so the legend goes but he was never an apprentice here or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I underestimated just how much of a girls blouse Andreas Andersen was. Ha. Forgot about him. Shocking player with a shocking haircut to match. Up there with Daniel cordone He looked class in pre season! You not thinking of Joh Dahl there?

Asprilla 96 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Has Saha been mentioned? He scored a blinder for us when Gullit was here. Probably would have been worth keeping hold of with hindsight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I thought it was a tap in. (away to Blackburn in a cup?) It was the FA Cup I think (got to the final that year) but I thought it was a good goal from the edge of the box. I wouldn't say he was underrated though as I think he wasn't ready and was only a success later at Fulham because he went back to France and learnt his trade, as it were.

Guest Tuco Ramirez Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 David Mac - agreePeter Jackson - totally agree Ray Ranson - he was fuckin shite Andy Thorn - as was he fuck knows why we spent 850k on him, to be fair he was ok at Palace Kevin Brock - one good game in 10, total luxury imo Kevin Scott - pure shite Mark McGhee - magic player when he wanted Paul Bracewell - rated highly I think, probably more than his contribution merited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4015 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 In defence of Kevin Brock I remember thinking at the time what a ridiculous percentage of Quinn's goals were made by him. He was a complete wimp but a canny footballer imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell you some others I think were underrated: Darren Jackson Michael O'Neill Bjorn Kristensen Liam O'Brien Thought Ranson was a really good player for us. Agree Scott was a clown and Brock was far too lightweight (had some really good games though). I think personally I underrated Speed the most and it wasn't til he left that I appreciated his contribution. His attempts at crossfield balls always used to get on me tits. Milner is another that used to wind me up but tbf I still don't think that he was good for us and I'm still not convinced he's much good on the wings. He has proved to be a good player in the middle but the money citeh have paid is scandalous. The money we got for him was still good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Kevin Scott was bobbins man. I cried laughing the day Spurs actually paid us real money for him. Ardilles obviously rated him as he had him as a player up here. You'd think he'd have known better. Not sure if you'd say he was underrated/underestimated as such but David McCreery was such a steady player for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For years he was linked with a move to Man City for £1m, always baffled me too. Benny was a much better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCOREBOARD1 0 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Aye granted Scott wanst great but I thought he did a job for us. Always rated Ranson. Brock on his day and when he wanted was a canny player. Scored a few cracking free-kicks. One at home to Chalton when they beat us 3-1 midweek was a good un.
