danoafc Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 There are many posts on here about players - etc.. if you had to play a team of in your opinion the most overarted player to play for us - i.e in others fans opinions etc who would your team be. I can't believe (as far as I can see) that nobody has mentioned Neil McDonald. £500k! £500,000!! FFS Everton must have been laughing their balls off as they banked that cheque!

FFS Everton must have been laughing their balls off as they banked that cheque! Aye 500K for one inspired tackle and cross for Olney???? to score that late winner against Villa. Oh and anybody who reckons Bunn was over rated is quite obviously bonkers Edited September 4, 2007 by StipeTripe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc0000 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! You are aving a giraffe! What this lad lacked in ability he more than made up for in pure spirit and effort. He made chances out of nowt by harrying defences and scored quite a few goals. He wouldnt however have scored against the OWTB dee-fence though I am sure!!! Carlo Corazzine never ever stopped running for this club!!! Yet people get away with having a dig at him all the time. Very similar players.....both run there hearts out all day long! Yet in the end, produced very little! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Paul Murray. A decent player but some folk go waaaaay overboard raving about him. Half a good season does not a legend make, and the way people talk about him keeping us up that season is madness - he wasn't even our best midfielder IMO, that honour going to the old bloke with no knees. Murray was plainly turning it on because his contract was coming up and nobody (or nobody he fancied) came in for him in the fire sale.

Defo overated....but at the same time he was good, just not as good as some think. I think what he went on to achive shows this. Failed to get promotion with us, played for a relgated team in portugal (i think) and then back to the UK to play in the lower leagues..... Hardly legendary...

DerekWilson_1968 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Darren bloody McDonagh. I thought he was . KtF, Derek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekWilson_1968 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 And another, David bloody Fairclough. If I am not mistaken, debut at Norwich on the opening day of the season 1985/86. First touch missing the ball and upending a corner flag. It was all downhill from there for the pillock. KtF, Derek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oa_exile Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Darren bloody McDonagh. I thought he was . KtF, Derek. Aye , but Derek he came through the Youth and we sold him for how much to Luton ? I played against him a couple of times when he played for North Chadd (School).

wanderinglatic Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 aye, no big deal at all ( I am right though and you are very, very wrong ;) ) What footie is all about, one man's Geoff Hurst is another's Geoff Thomas. How dare you bismurch Geoff Thomas' name! I'll never forget seeing him at Wembley (T'old one) against France; when we got seated with all the French fans; and Geoff was one on one with the goalie and managed to hit the corner flag!!!

footy68 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 How can Forbes be overrated? I never thought he was rated at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latics4Ever Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) A few players I'd include in the list of overrated players, some of whom have already been mentioned: Nicky Banger Paul Moulden Ian Olney Ian Ormondroyd - BOTH TIMES Andy Goram - His 2nd Debut Mike Milligan - When he returned. Chris Killen Chris Day Terrible Forbes Chris Machin - Believed his own ego when he went to Marseille. Sean Garnett Rob Lee (All 62 minutes of his 2 appearances - First & Last) Paul Kane (Paul) Beavers Michael Clegg Edited September 4, 2007 by Latics4Ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
