Most underrated City player ever?

I used to love watching Clive Wilson in a City shirt. Thought he was one of those players that always appeared to have more time on the ball than most. Played with his head up,and was a very “silky”styled type of player. Ridiculous decision to sell him,… to Spurs, if memory serves,.. wher he unfortunately had a very suc career.

Went to Chelsea from us and had later stints with QPR and Spurs, a classy player though, remember his diving header in the Arthur Albiston derby and a headed winner v Liverpool which was one of those 'how did we win that' games

The header I think you’re thinking of V United was in the league game the day before the Full Members Cup Final. He also would have had an assist to go with his goal for Simpson’s equaliser, if they were a thing back then.

Who do you think is the most underrated city player?

I always though Neil Mcnab was a great little player who didnt get enough credit,
Also a mention for, Gary Owen, wonderful player who should never have been sold when he was.

a little more respect for Neil Mcnab obviously i agree with me first favourite player for City hence the name, remember sat in the albert before a home match in the 80’s and Saint & Greavsey was on the tele & in the opening sequence of the show it showed a typical robust challenge from Neil that would be an instant red nowerdays & the whole pub cheered it as if we’d scored, i sat there grinning like a cheshire cat because he was already my footballing hero but that was the cherry on top of the cake.

I never realized how good he was until he pulled on our shirt, I think it was us or the dippers when he left Villa, I now understand why that vermin was gutted when he turned them down.

The fact he has the record for most PL appearances shows how good he was. A very important part of our early recent success

spot on he was a rolls royce, they obviously wanted to pair him with slippy G which to be fair would’ve been an exceptional centre midfield as they both complement each other, but luckily enough we got him to our place
 
Alan Oakes, Glynn Pardow, Neil Young, Gerard Wilkins Richard Dunn and Tony Booth deserve a mention
 
Aguero.

He should have got way more recognition and admiration from the general football media and individual awards, given the number of goals he scored. One of the greatest strikers of all time who should be lauded in the media as better than Henry, Bergkamp, Cantona, etc.
 
Michael Brown.At a time when many of the players weren't up to the job or seemed disinterested he put everything in,every game.Sometimes a bit too much for referees but he showed his pride in the badge.
