Underrated players at other clubs

[the coming of gary]

(as a companion to the other thread)

Mark Chamberlain - Port Vale and Stoke

Beat John Barnes to the England team and was the better player for at least two years
only eight caps though

The guy was a Rolls Royce of a player. There was fuck all underrated. Or overrated about him. He was a quality player.

[The Mercernary]

ALAN HANSEN.!

Turn it in.

You think he was overrated?  

[Pub Bigot]

Denis Irwin ManU left back, a cracking player but overshadowed by the big name players in the squad.

Yep, I'd say he's the best all round PL fullback I've seen outside of Ashley Cole. Never put a foot wrong defensively, never gave the ball away, 2 footed. Top drawer player.

Scored a blinder away at Everton, but that was the only highest of his West Ham career. 

[Pub Bigot]

Alan Shearer is criminally underrated despite the record for PL goals. Unrreal feat that nobody has touched, and therefore in my opinion is the PL's greatest ever striker. 

Robert Huth and Wes Morgan from the Leicester City title winning team - Their partnership is never mentioned despite what they achieved. 

I'll always like Huth retrospectively for doing Upson away at Stoke.

My team's based a bit about how many caps they got versus their talent. I'm sure they were all appreciated by their own fans.

[dealcanvey]

Always rated Jermaine Jenas. Also, Ledley King was severely underrated.

There is a spurs thread now for you to post bait like this.

[Tomshardware]

George Boateng.

[Swiss.]

Mguinn, Watkins, Mctominay, Maguire.

Just a few names have seen on here where people turned their nose up at the thought of them playing for us.

Bonkers!

I was also going to pick McGuin and McTomminay 

[Tomshardware]

Alan Wright of Aston Villa in the 90's.

Kenny Burns is a good example because Clough, apart from paying out record sums for the likes of Shilton and Francis, was also able to pick up lesser rated players and get regular 100% performances from them.

Conversely players who starred for Clough like Webb and Davenport’ never hit the regular heights of their Forest days when sold on.

Clough was a master at getting a team to play at a level above the sum of its constituent parts, the opposite of the likes of Ruben Amorim for example.

John McGovern is another good example, Cloughie took him everywhere it seems

I must have watched a different player, Vinnie Jones is one of the worst footballers I've ever seen live.

And I've watched a season of Radoslav Kovac.

[Takashi Miike]

Vinnie Jones. When he wasn't deliberately being a thug on the pitch he had a great clean tackle that kept the ball at his feet and a really wide range of passing, like Carrick. But he loved kicking and threatening people and the media loved that as well so it overshadowed the skill he had.

I didn't like those wimbledon teams but you couldn't help notice how fit they were. I watched an interview with bassett a year or so ago, and he brought up how their superior fitness and attitude compensated for technical deficiencies. that was a decent leeds team vinnie was in

[Fauxstralian]

Neil Shipperley was later charged with wanking in a vehicle while watching a young girl wasn’t he?
Very South London 

[Far Cough UKunt]

A player I always admired was Willie Carr. Always full of running off the ball.

[zico]

Great shouts on Irwin and Cahill.  Carrick and Solskjaer were in that mould.  Solskjaer would have been a regular started for most other clubs, a cracking finisher and Carrick was never in the England question as they always just tried to shoehorn in Gerrard, Scholes, Lampard and Beckham.  

[Far Cough UKunt]

Neil Shippley at Palace - always thought he was worth a call up

That fat cսnt? *Guffaw*

[Mex Martillo]

Bailey at Villa.

[Iron Duke]

Steed Malbranque when he was at Fulham.
