alpine_saint Posted 18 January, 2011 Share Posted 18 January, 2011 I know i'll get all sorts of moans and groans for this, but Jermaine Wright in our playoff season would get into my top 5. Wow.

alpine_saint Posted 18 January, 2011 Share Posted 18 January, 2011 I think Matt Oakley was one of the most under-rated players we ever had. He was the oil in the engine of midfield, keeping things moving forwards, slick and simple, never appreciated till he was missing. It was no coincidence that our fall from grace coincided with him doing his cruciate ligaments. hehehehehe. Nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithd Posted 19 January, 2011 Share Posted 19 January, 2011 Ronnie Ekelund. Shoot, i agree with Alpen goddammit... Altho my hesitance for not mentioning him was he wasnt underrated we just didnt get to see him long enough, thanks to some dodgy specialist telling him to sort his back out with herbal tea or whatever it was... Paul Williams for me too, and Jones and Taylor as keepers Rich Hall was immense, pants sideways move to West Ham where he got crocked cost him a decent career Hippo ears Deano Richards, altho again not so sure he was underrated...

Papa Shango Posted 19 January, 2011 Share Posted 19 January, 2011 nigel quashie was underrated by saints fans...i thought he gave his all for us...sure he was not the best player in the world..but put in a shift Quashie was popular with the majority of fans while he was here. His energy and drive gave us a fighting chance. However when he left a lot of fans decided he was all of a sudden a useless skate. He was 100 times more useful than Prutton.

Lighthouse Posted 19 January, 2011 Share Posted 19 January, 2011 For me:- Maik Taylor Jhon Viafara Jo Tessem Hassan Kachloul Patrick Colleter I'd have said Jhon VFRR was overrated if anything. We all sang his name and loved his energy when he was here, but you could count the number of succesful passes he made on 1 hand. One of the reasons I think we underpeformed under Burley was players like Euell, JV and BWP giving the ball away too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StVince1966 Posted 19 January, 2011 Share Posted 19 January, 2011 steve williams lovely touch player scored against norwich (i think?) when he jigged around 5 or 6 players and passed the ball in the net! alan ball bless him rated him as one of the best midfielders he ever played with. never got used to him playing for arsenal and never played for them in the manner he did for us!

Papa Shango Posted 19 January, 2011 Share Posted 19 January, 2011 Darren Kenton wasn't great over all, but he had a few games here and there when he genuinely looked like Fabio Cannavaro. Seem to remember games against Chelsea and Arsenal where he was ridiculously good. More often than not though he didn't really cut the mustard. Redknapp bombed him out after he had a shocker against Spurs in that 5-1 game. When David Connolly is fit (which of course is not very often) IMO he's our best striker. He improved the team massively when he came in last year, and it's no coincidence our form dipped when he dropped out of the team. It only picked up again when Barnard was settled in the team. His movement and finishing is top class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlborough Saint Posted 21 January, 2011 Share Posted 21 January, 2011 148 posts and no one has mentioned Kevin Richardson. He came to us in 1997 as a former England international at the very end of his career. He was a holding midfielder who read the game well and through his experience and discipline allowed Carlton Palmer and others to bomb forward at every opportunity. A real team player, never spectacular or flashy but an important part of one of our better seasons in the 90's. does anyone agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
