Most overrated City player ever?

Darren Huckerby, Forrest Gump in football boots on speed.

If Darren had a brain he would be sensational, sadly he didn't!
Played a big part in our 1st division championship side under Keegan. 20 goals and a couple of hat tricks. Also worked his bollocks off when needed/ like the home game against Millwall when Ali B got sent off early
 
His character was just what we needed at the time but as the team progressed his limitations as a footballer became clear. He was replaced by a superior footballer in Gareth Barry who in turn was replaced by a superior footballer in Fernandinho. But for years after de Jong's departure fans still used to post on here saying "we never really replaced de Jong" , "what this team needs now is a player like de Jong". Normally from fans of a certain age who above all else want their midfielders to get "stuck in".
I think NDJ is a great shout. An absolute fan favourite, but a player not needed in a top side. He helped us get to that stage, but the fact he had to slide in so much illustrated that his positioning was poor.
 
Never knew what his supposed strengths were because scoring and creating chances certainly weren't among them. Similar in many ways to Nigel Fucking Clough.
He missed most chances that ever came his way with great aplomb.... (Heath). Clough wasnt great either.

He and Howard seemed to have a very cozy relationship, fucking weird he was constantly picked yet contributed jack shit.
