[Football] Genuinely underrated/forgotten footballers who were class

[ozzygull]

Peter Beardsley he was one of the football players when I watched MOTD after getting home from my shift at Ritz video that I would have loved to have playing for the Albion. Zola was another but I don’t think he was underrated/ forgotten.

 

[Lenny Rider]

That`s just plain embarrassing,i honestly believed he was Welsh Revie ruined England`s chances of a second world cup,apparantly wouldn`t pick players like Stan Bowles because of his long hair,or Frank (gotta love the guy) Worthington because of his social life,shoulda been Cloughie.

Or Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison?

Dave Thomas ,little Welsh left wing wizard he with the socks round his ankles ,played for Q.P.R. ,absolutely loved to watch him play , can you imagine a new model of him with us know ?

The little Welsh winger was Micky Thomas who - coincidentally - was also underrated.

Lee Trundle

How could anyone forget Trundle when he's still doing stuff like this:

Ken Charlery.

Leon Britton & Nathan Dyer (in the brilliant Rodgers team that took Swansea to the EPL in 2011.

Arjan de Zeeuw - quality CB. Plus utter class after sewer rat Diouf spat in his face, not reacting.

I'm going to get Robin Friday out of the way.

Mad as a brush.
Was good friends of an old mate of mine in Reading, back in the day..

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Malcolm MacDonald, an absolute goal machine with 204 goals in 421 appearances but only 14 England caps in a 12 year career.

 

[lawros left foot]

Kevin Beattie.

And yes, he could play left back.

Peter Osgood

A good old fashioned target man but very skilful. Should have made more of his career.

As should Stan Bowles and Rodney Marsh, all three playing far too little for England

Fruitnut Le Tissier too

Which reminds me, has anyone mentioned Tony Currie on this thread?

Me in post #7.

Hudson, Currie, Worthington, Marsh, Bowles, Right Wing Loon Le Tiss, are always mentioned as being entertainers cheated out of England caps.

I think he was once manager of the Wigmore Arms pub in Worthing and the pub name was changed to " The Far Post " at the time .

Boy, do I need to practice more. Those skills are insane, regardless of the level of the opposition.
