Most underrated player of last 20 years.

Don't think City ever realised how good Tom Heaton was.

Indeed.

[life on mars]

Less than half a million to Leeds who sold him on for £11m

Overrated.

Yes - Steve McPhail.

It was crazy how many 'fans' had it in for him with the McFail crap. He was quality - and with all his medical problems he added quiet dignity and real bravery to his skill and personality.

I think he was a player we only realised how good he was when he wasn't with us.

Ross McCormack. More of a case that we didn't really know what we had in terms of a footballer as he played 2nd fiddle to Chopra. He was a much better player than Chopra in my opinion, he could drop deep for the ball, had really quick feet and a fantastic touch. He didn't help himself though, and we sold him on for **** all.

Fantastic forward who was forced wide when we resigned Chops. Bargain signing. For years much of our support took the piss out of him. God, we used to alienate the wrong players.

Great shout.
Would have preferred him being the focus than resigning Chopra.

Ralls. Easily. People have been slagging him off for years.

I’d go with Ralls, and even as time and injuries catch up with him, I’d rather have him in our squad next season to come on and close the game out.

Very underrated, as probably Ledley was by sections of the crowd

Ex pros on this board slag him off.

I don't think Scimeca was underated, quietly appreciated i would say. Never have i seen a midfield player in Blue stay on their feet so well in a tackle. He was half crocked when he came to us as well.

[Lord Worcester]

Totally agree. Not sure why our fans never really took to him.

I did. Loved McPhail. Too many kav comparisons from too many, focussing on what Mac couldn’t do rather than what he could!

Him and McPhail were brilliant together.

I used to really rate Ross McCormack, whenever he played I thought he was one of our best payers. Gutted when we moved him on, and he was a top Championship player for years.

I'd agree with Ralls though, great servant. We're seeing even now in his twilight years how much he's missed when he doesn't play.
