BP1960 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 We have all heard about the Latics legends, but there were many unsung heroes from the past who haven't really been given full credit for some sterling performances in a Latics shirt. One of these that springs to mind is Gary Hoolickin, a fine defender who made over 200 appearances for the Latics and always gave his best. There were many more like him who have done the club proud, let's have your nominations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsLee Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Pogs never got the credit he deserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc2002 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Tony Carrs, Jon Eyre, Carlo Corazzin, Big Les, Neal Eardley there has been loads down the years, and they would probably all get into the team we've got at the min. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_b_100 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 The most undertalked about player of all time is Nick Henry ........ An absoloute star in the middle and the most determined player I have ever seen. Mr Whittaker please take note. Arise Sir Nicholas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigfinLatic Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 SUPER DEAN HOLDEN Latics' best ever right-back. And my all time favourite player. Fact.* *and in no way behind Gunnar Halle on both counts. at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think any of them were UNDERrated tbh? Eardley went for a decent fee and was well rated by most, and the rest had at least their own cult followings whilst they were with us.

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Andy Holt. Never a Latics legend, but a good, solid player for this level. Always chipped in with a few goals and didn't do all that bad really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always chipped in with a few goals and didn't do all that bad really. Paul Rickers and Scott McNiven, suffered dogs abuse but made hundreds of appearances for the club - McNiven from making his debut aged 16 away to Barnsley and I lost count how many times Rickers scored vital goals, particularly the second vs Reading on the final day escape in '99.

Lee Sinnott. - Scored a brilliant bullet header in a Pre Season fixture with Stockport. Steven Whitehall - Scored some crucial goals including a late winner on a Tues against Milwall and had a lot of work rate. John Eyre - Hard as nails.

An absoloute star in the middle and the most determined player I have ever seen. Mr Whittaker please take note. Arise Sir Nicholas +1, harrased an opposition player off the ball with him in Midfield with Milly we commanded the centre, biting at the opposition ankles, threading the ball through to oooooo Roger and Mr Ritchie and the delighful ricky holden on the wing And if you dare stood infront of a Denis Irwin free kick then you'd best get your life insurance in place if one of them caught you sqaure on.. Aww...days when latics players tackled and scored screamers from free kicks. Sob...boo hooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Some choices here I'd question - were Holt, Henry and Armstrong really underrated? I'll second Scott McNiven. I'll also volunteer David Beharall, who never seemed a bad player when I saw him play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Sorry, I also meant that I never felt they were unappreciated by the crowd. Thought they were all reasonably popular, particularly Henry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) Ron Futcher possesed sublime control of the ball and was indeed very underrated, maybe because most of the attention was given to his brother.
