Eyal Berkovic. One of the few players from our past that could have played in a Pep team.

Tevez below Kinkladze and Yaya’s goals wrong.

Must do better.

That Carlos is as low as he is shows he is underrated, in my opinion

 

[basokla]

Honestly, Zab.

One I was glad to see mentioned in the top 50 list referred to above - Bobby Johnstone. The first man to score in successive Wembley FA Cup Finals.

Great work rate, good finisher too.

From recent times, one of the most underrated for me is Gareth Barry. I honestly don't understand how some people didn't rate him. He wasn't perfect, wasn't the most nimble of players, but his positional sense was second to none, which gave him that advantage over those with more pace. Got caught out against the top bracket players, but who didn't? One of my favourites since the takeover. I'd take him over De Jong every time.

Also, a shout out to Bacary Sagna. Sadly we got him at the tail end of his career, when he had slowed down, but he was still in fantastic condition and very solid defensively.

Totally agree. An absolute engine in midfield but was overlooked as he didn't do 'pretty' football. There has been quite a few since that fall into the same bracket.

Above Barry I would have to say Edin Dzeko. Always find it strange that he didn't get as many minutes as he probably should have. I know he had Aguero to compete with, but still. His contribution was massive and he brought a different element to our game which I think we lack at times.

Not read them all but 'technically' Jim Melrose had the lot in his locker. Shame we can't see the Notts County goal.

Haha dont forget Simon Tracey

Not the most underrated we've ever had but I always felt a little more at ease when Nigel De Jong was sitting just infront of the back 4. Yes, he was a little Ray Wilkins with his passing but he was tough as nails.

I had a ST that year, I was only a teenager but I remember being in school on the Monday, another Blue told me he went on the weekend with his Dad, he asked me “do you know what all the cheering was about, me and my Dad were really confused, we thought maybe United were getting beat but no, people were going mad like we’d scored at goal”.

“Eike Immel got the ball over the halfway line, from a goal kick” I beamed.
