Arizona Posted 29 September, 2008 Share Posted 29 September, 2008 I'd have said Oakley. Many people ridiculed him on here after he left, saying he had only ever had about 10 good games for us etc. Then he went to Derby, captained them to promotion and looked one of their better players in the Prem. No coincidence that things began to go down hill after he got injured in 2003. Can't really call Niemi "unsung" when he won player of the year in 03/04.

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 29 September, 2008 Share Posted 29 September, 2008 Kevin Richardson was a calming influence when he first arrived and quietly got on with things whilst Palmer, Davies, Hirst, Le Tiss & Egil got the plaudits in Dave Jones' first season with us.

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 29 September, 2008 Share Posted 29 September, 2008 Paul Williams helped steady our defence in Strach's first season, filling the void Dean Richards left, until being displaced by a certain Swedish centre half.

Andy_Porter Posted 29 September, 2008 Share Posted 29 September, 2008 Paul Williams is a good shout. I think it was his hoof against Spurs that set up Beattie for his goal when we beat Spurs on Hoddles return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 29 September, 2008 Share Posted 29 September, 2008 Ken Monkou is a good shout for me. All the times we just escaped relegation from the Premiership and we were so thankful to MLT, there was Kenny at the back putting in some solid displays and weighing in with a few goals, including the 5-4 vs Norwich winner. Chris Marsden was one of those players that we signed that nobody really expected anything from, and yet went on to be the biggest suprise for fans.
