Underrated great players

Gary Neville

I see your ratface and raise you a rentboy (Solskjaer).

Andreas Müller or Moller - amazing player. Truly amazing - strength, speed, skill. This guy had it all. He was just as lethal and effective as players like Ronaldo/Messi. Ronaldo/messi take on players on the wings and cut in which easier. Moller used to beat players through the middle where it was more difficult on the wings. For a while, Tomas Rosicky looked like being the next Moller as he was almost an identical player to him and they played for the same team (Dortmund), but injuries ****ed him.

agree 100% he was incredible and a very underrated part of the succesful german team during the 90's!

since i'm from Slovenia i can write you few names from former Yugoslavia...Dragan Stojković, Dejan Savicevic, Ivica Osim, Josip Katalinski, Blaz Sliskovic, Vladimir Petrović, Robert Prosinecki , Darko Pančev, Safet Sušić, Sergej Barbarez, Brane Oblak, Danilo Popivoda, Dragan Dzajic (even wikipedia says that he "is viewed as perhaps one of the most underrated players in European football, partly because he played in Yugoslavia.") .........

Robert Prosinecki

[Fernandinho]

Not underrated at the time, no, but it seems he's been quickly forgotten to some extent. I bet a lot of youngsters don't know much about him and/or don't appreciate just how good he was.

Redondo is a great call. A lot of kids I bet have never even heard of him.

Okay so I texted my 12 year old football-obsessed cousin and said "tell me what you think of Ruud Gullit the footballer" and here is his reply:

"Well he's terrible on Sky Sports, wasn't he a good player?"

Which illustrates my point. Us 30 somethings know fine well how good Gullit was, but it hasn't been passed down. Kids know all about Maradona, Pele.....they don't all know about Gullit. And I'm sure he's never even heard of Redondo.

I don't have the phone numbers of anyone aged between 15-18. 12 was the best I could do. Like I said he knows all about Maradona and Pele, we've talked about them before. I didn't say it proved anything, just illustrates the point.

When I was 12 I knew all about Pele. I had two books about him, plus a Pele skills book which taught you how to curl the ball, perform overhead kicks etc.

Fernandinho - what do you think of Ruud Gullit?

I was in the process of multi quoting when I saw your comment All i know of him is reading a Champions League book I have which shows him and the other 2 Dutch guys when Milan dominated. Redondo I have only heard of on these forums. I have no knowledge of them as footballers but.

Good call on Prosinecki

I think Redondo's back heel flick at the by line against ManUre is one the best pieces of skill I can remember. Just something so elegant and instantaneous and it led to a goal!

Take that ya cunts!

Neville Southall is another that comes to mind.

[IN_RAFA_WE_TRUST]

This thread is getting a bit silly now,how can you say Baresi and Maldini are underrated?
Also di stefano.
they are up there with the all time greats of football.

Runs and hides

That is the best post i've read in awhile, especially with your stewie pic. Put 2+2 together in my head and I can picture Stewie saying that and running away giggling like a girl. Class

Vegard Heggem - the worst thing is, not many Liverpool fans remember how good this guy was. People only remember the likes of Finnan, Jones and Babbel. This guy IMO was the best right back we've from 1992 onwards.
