Players less appreciated than they should have been. 13:38 - Aug 9 with 12285 viewssolemio

Seeing posts from stewartm and wkj on the other thread made me wonder about under-appreciated ITFC players who were really very good.

Like Stewart I'd certainly have Paul Mason very near the top of that sort of list. Looked good in the top division. Never really seemed to be a fans' favourite at the time.

Who else?

Matt Richards and Westy. Worked very well together and good enough for a play off pushing team.


Westlake won the POTY award. Hardly under appreiciated at the time.

Paul Goddard, his legs had gone a bit Jonathan Douglas in his time with us but was such an intelligent footballer. Always finding space and using the ball well. Chipped in with a few goals too.

Lee Chapman should have had a bit more appreciation for loaning out his wife to most of the old North Stand....... supposedly.

Of course I do.

Had several games in late 1968/69 and early 1969/70 in the early times of SBR.
I remember him scoring in night matches at West Ham and Spurs.

Murphy was a standout player for us under Mick and yet, rather strangely in my opinion, never seems to get any respect from our fan base.

My hobbies include being quiet during trips, clapping with songs, and diabetes.

I will migrate my point from the other thread, Bobby Petta seemed a good player but the fans never seemed to be that close with him


Nope, only ever played well against very poor opposition see under ITFC 5 scum 0

Whenever we neede him to step up against decent opposition he went missing

I'd forgotten that. But even more surprising that he's a name that's almost never been repeated since.

People who rate Pablo over Kuqi don't get the Championship. They also love "tekkers" videos on Youtube made by "footballers" who never made it.

Def info.

If Pablo's there as a bite I can live with that. Sums up his career.

Oh i still meant it. One was quality and our top scorer this millenium even though his fantastic touch and holding up of the ball were his primary qualities, and the other who had one lucky season. I just called it a bite because it was an obvious steal from what he had already written

If he hadn’t been 5 ft 5in and used as a punchline to mock Mick McCarthy’s appreciation of him, then Jay Tabb would be a shoo-in for this prize.

I remember Naylor being singled out by the boo boys, and Scowcroft before him. Because they played alongside much more prolific strike partners (Mathie, Johnson, Stewart), they didn't always get the respect they deserved even when they were a big part of reason their partner was so prolific.
