I don't know if there is such a thing as an underrated player
But whatever you call them they remain the players that do all the work and get none of the credit
or get very little for their big contribution. One name pops to mind is Surin (Villareal/Argentina)
It upsets me he never gets mentioned around big names

Thierry Henry!!!!
How can a player like him not win the FIFA Player of the Year Award at least once??

Scott parker

lampard most over rated

Titus Bramble, he's better than you all think, Boumsong on the other hand...

good 1

How about Marc Overmars
I don't think he is well appreciated neither in Holland nor in Arsenal

I always thought he was a great player on his day although a little inconsistent, but thats normal for wingers

How about Fernando Redondo?.Outstanding player , great thread too.

Compared to most wingers you could set your watch by. He was always looking to get involved even if things werent working, and the mixture of sheer pace and ball control made him one of the fastest and most effective dribblers EVER. And i have to agree, not really rated that highly.

My vote goes to Paul McGrath, though with much pushing and shoving, his name is getting more and more in peoples ears and mouths around here anyway!!

Overmars, hmm he is highly appreciated by Arsenal fans i think, or atleast by me, he didnt stay for too long though, and injury cut his career short unfortunately , i think he is only 33 now

Yes he is
He retired on July 26, 2004 after being continually troubled by a persistent knee injury
It's always the injuries cutting careers short

Robbie Keane, Steve Finnan, John Arne Riise, Scott Parker, Joey Barton, Kevin Nolan.

dont agree wif riise, and nolan is god in bolton bt accross country i agree

Hleb,Xavi and Robinho

Only Arsenal supporters truly appreciated his brilliance, his talents were overlooked by a lot of other Premiership supporters. Most Arsenal supporters would rather have Overmars on the left than Pires while both were at their peaks.

i second that and gilberto silva is slightly underrated

Yeah well your an Everton supporter so maybe Pistone is better

me, myself and I!
just kidding!
maybe deco is underrated

Yeah, I have thaught of it myself.. Personally I think he is one of the greatest midfielders I have seen playing football, when I watch Barca, but he is never mentioned as one.

I think Xavi is highly rated in Barca and he is worth it when he was out of injury I think I remember most commentators saying that
Robinho too he is highly rated when it comes to european football but when it comes to Brazil.....?!
and so is Cicinho
I agree though about Hleb Great player but hasn't been getting a lot of attention

Senna from Villereal, great defensive midfielder.

Robinho was very over-rated by the media before he came to Madrid and before doing anything spectacular. Xavi isn't under-rated. Hleb isn't under-rated by Arsenal fans, but maybe he is by the others.

Milan Baros

Zambrotta and maybe Pirlo..

Pirlo
Tevez
Park
Nakamura

I would say Juninho Pernambucano,Maniche and Toni...

Well William Gallas, Steve Finnan, Marcos Senna, Nuno Valente, Deco, Van Bronkost (sp), John O'shea, Rio Ferdinand, Ryan Giggs, Scott Parker, Ameobi etc.

jay jay okocha is underated. he's like the ronaldinho of african football.
how many time do you see somebody do a rainbow in a game
he's done it a bunch

Fernando Meira from Stuttgart...solid center-back i guess and one of the best in the World Cup!

Francisco Javier Yeste, Ji-Sung Park, Gary Nev, Phil Nev and Marcos Senna.

the whole hibs team.........and Steve Finnan

id say Juninho...maybe because he plays in france and sits the bench becuase of the best midfield in the world...but i think he should be talked about more as one of the best midfielders in the world! Agree?

Iniesta, Ramos (19 and one of the worlds best defenders, yet not even mentioned in awards or in most peoples "best young team")

Juninho, Essien, Drogba, Cicinho, Ferreira, Quaresma....

Martin Demichelis, Sagnol, Hargreaves (untill the match against portugal) , Darren Bent, Toure, and many more.

Javier Zanetti... 33 and Dribbles like no Other. Crazy player

Steve Finnan, Dean Ashton, Scott Parker, Zoltan Gera, Joey Barton, Kevin Nolan, Didi Hamann, Iniesta and many more that don't spring to mind at the moment.
