Good one for this weeks [HASHTAG]#hcafc[/HASHTAG] clip on BT sports Premier League Tonight show. Who is city's most underrated ever player? Whats your thoughts?

This has turned out to be harder than I thought, I thought we didn't play Geo as much as we should have, but you'd hardly call him underrated.

Rosenior seems a popular choice so far.

 

[Amin Arrears]

Simon Walton.

I thought he was very good and under appreciated

 

[Walter Sobchak]

These players were underatted for me:

Damien Delaney, Sam Ricketts, Ryan France, Liam Rosenior, Richard Hinds, Matty Fryatt

Ricketts, France and Rosenior have all got several mentions.

Was Fryatt really underrated, I thought most of us thought he was our best striker at the time?

In more recent times, it struck me that Stuart Green was better than he got credit for.

Sonko - the man was a rock, well I think thats what they were saying!

Got to be Ashbee. Written off every season.

 

[Kempton]

Ash seems to gone up in a lot of people's estimations since he retired.

 

[Kempton]

Got to be Ashlee. Written off every season.

Beat me to it.

100%. Hardly anyone outside the club will have heard of him and he's our greatest ever player.

I always thought people were like 'We've got no one better' whereas I always thought Fryatt was class.

 

[Tigger]

Malcolm Lord. Far more talented than he was ever given credit for. He filled the gaps and allowed the likes of Houghton and Butler to supply the creativity for Waggy and Chilton.

I agree , definitely underrated by a lot of people , he wasn't flashy though , just got on with it

In the box he was probably one of our most skillful forwards. He could turn most centre backs inside out despite not being a very quick player. If he did have proper pace he would have had a career in the premier league.

Ashbee's a great shout.

I've always maintained getting rid of Fryatt was the wrong thing to do as well.

It turned out to be the right thing to do, he's been permanently injured ever since he left us.

Ashbee's a great shout.

Ashbee is surely very highly respected and regarded now? I know at the time he was criminally underrated but most people recognise what he did for the team now.

Depends how you interpret the question.

With hindsight you can say Jon Walters.

If your names Terry Dolan then it's Wayne Jacobs.

The **** him.

Walters was good for us, he didn't score enough, but he was still a good player, he didn't leave because we didn't rate him, he was released on compassionate grounds.
