Daffy Duck
Stop bloody moaning!
I know I'll probably get slated on here, but Theo Walcott is my current under-achiever.
IMO, he's not improved one bit since he joined Arsenal.

I would say Iniesta, Puyol and Xavi are at least as good as Messi, Ronaldo, Rooney, Van Persie. They do not become mega-stars as they don't play in positions that score goals, and players who score goals become mega-stars as the press big them up all the time.
Maldini is one of the best players to play the game but rarely gets mentioned as he was not an attacking goal scoring player.
Never given the chance:
Matt Le Tissier
Dennis Tueart
Stan Bowles

I respect your opinion (always said before I completely disagree) but he has improved greatly in my opinion and the stats suggest it.
Last season he scored 14 and assted 11 which put him 4th on the league assist table and 4th on the overall Goals+assists table just behind Gareth Bale and Luis Suarez. Those two were lauded for their contribution.
This season he has an assist in the league and I think 2 already in the champions league. It may even be 3.
Think Dean Ashton should have been given a chance with England earlier...probably while he was at Norwich when it was clear that he added something that no other Englishman could (size AND technical ability). Shame his injuries came when they did.

His performance when we got well beaten by Crewe at Withdean stands out to me as one the best performances by an opposition player that I've ever seen against the Albion

remember it well...and I agree, I'm not sure I've seen better. He single handedly destroyed us.
Could have led England's front line for years...he's still only 29 ffs
He did his ankle in 2006 didnt he? 7 years ago, meaning he was basically done (as he never fully recovered) at 22/23
Crazy.

I know lots of Arse fans, and none of them rate him.
Alan Hudson, Frank Worthington,Tony Currie, Le Tissier, Alan Clarke, Malcolm McDonald, Rodney Marsh, any of these would walk into the present England team
How about every England player since 1967?
