How can Terry mac be under-rated when he won PFA player of the year and 20 odd caps......?
Ian Callaghan 800 + games and only 4 caps, with liverpool from Div 2 to teh European cup and the record of upteen years between caps has to be the most underrated player ever by most reds especially anybody under the age of 40........should be a mandatory inclusion in anybodies top ten on pain of death
Ronnie Whelan, Ray Kennedy, Staunton, etc all waded in with plenty of caps
Roger Hunt is another whose achievements and class are vastly underrated in modern times although thankfully not at the time
Depends if you man by the anfield faithful or the world at large or both
Tommy Smith would be another, 1 england cap - won everything in the game, is only ever remembered for being a hard man but the lad could play right across the back and in midfield and he had a great touch,a decent pass and a fair cross on him
More recently Jimmy Case did an excellent job though never one of my favourites
Chris Lawler a class act who never ever laddered his tights when playing.....
Barney Rubble another solid player who could compete any any level and hold his own and yet received very little international recognition
In more modern times when every player has to be an international and every game is on the tele - I dont think its as big a problem but Didi hamann and steve finnan fall into the category of you'll miss them when their gone..........
For what he achieved and how little he's mentioned big nose has to be high on the list but at least he got the caps and to captain his country - Cally was largely forgotten ........
nother whose achievements are always overlooked in favour of John Barnes - Stevie Heighway his record is magnificent, as was Peter Thompson before him..... so I guess thats another slant is it underappreciated at the time they played or now.........
