Under-rated players of yesteryear

Andy Cole HAS to be in there.

Case for Neville Southall being the goalie as well, everyone knows he was good but not many people realise he was the greatest of all time.

ROnny Johnsen, DEnnis Wise and Mancini shouldn't be there.

I get what you're saying about Scholes but still think most people would have him in the all time PRemier League xi. Or at least as a sub.

Nigel Winterburn
Tim Sherwood
Darren Peacock
Warren Barton
David Weir (still playing but meh)
Andrei Kanchelskis

DAVID MAY

Rod Wallace (lmao honestly, class little player i reckon)

That reminds me of two more.

Chris Fairclough and Chris Whyte (his head used to scare me when i was a kid).

Gary Rowett
Bergomi (forgotten his first name, Inter Milan defender, class and underrated)

Ivan De La Pena
Craig Hignett
Pep Guardiola
Jim Magilton

*pretends that i remember who Chris Whyte was

It's ironic cos he's black lmao.

darren anderton

yeah he's the ultimate one, first one on my list class player

he had such good technique. that volley in the 3-3 draw against sweden is probably my favourite england goal in my lifetime.

his injury record was exaggerated as well

My mum LOVES Jim Magilton

Rob Lee. In a day where the likes of James Milner cost over £20m it would be interesting to see how much Rob Lee would be worth today.

Carl Cort
David Ginola

Everton Left back, used to take penalties.name escapes me.

David Unsworth. thanks google.

Mark Bosnich

*i'm listing players who were technically very good but who many still don't fully appreciate just how good they are/were. The other way of doing it is listing under-appreciated players

Matthew Le Tissier
Marian Pahars

Giuseppe, probably not that underrated in Italy but over here when people talk about great modern Italian defenders he never gets a mention which is odd as he sits quite comfortably up there with any of them.

Slightly off-topic but on the subject of Inter greats, someone who spans yesteryear and er, modernyear Javier Zanetti. I know he doesn't scream 'underrated' but when you consider the reputation someone like Maldini (deservedly) has, then Zanetti who is still putting in genuine star turns (like marking Messi out of games) as he approaches 40 probably deserves as high regard as Maldini who, let's face it, was filling in and doing a job in his last few years.

Neville Southall, Craig Hignett and Marian Pahars are all ones I'd second, which is not to say I disagree with any others (well OK Andy Cole and Le Tissier, very good but I can't think of either as particularly underrated) as my memories of some of them are pretty sketchy. Club bias here admittedly but Steve Howey was a cracking centre back
