Player that everybody loves but you think is overrated

[Cheer Up Peter Reid]

Beckham. No way does he deserve the adulation that he received from the media.

The original overrated, overhyped, egocentric twat!

The template for many other red shirted twats that followed!

I'm always right. Even when I'm wrong, I'm right.





Sort of!

Hello love .
Whats for tea ?

How many world class performances did he have.

Many … He was quality .. He had a lot more than some of the duck eggs labeled as world class, these days…!!

 

[BlueHammer85]

Of his 85 England caps he's been directly involved in 79 goals. We are not even including the build up play.

Amazing stat

Still none the wiser on how he is world class.

Even the City lads?

Paul Gascoigne remains to this day the best English player I’ve ever seen live. Unbelievable talent ,unfortunately pissed it up the wall. Would have been the best ever in my opinion with proper guidance .

Bobby Robson was about as calm and measured a mentor and manager as he could ever have hoped for. Who could have guided Gascoigne any better ? Two people from the same part of the world, father and son type relationship etc. He also had Terry Venables at Spurs.

Michael Carrick...emperors new clothes imo! Sideways and backwards with short 10 yrd pass radius.
Adored by press and pundits for his ball retention!!!!! WTF!

Not a bad shout, I really liked him as a kid for us at West Ham but never felt he was good enough for a Top 4/6 club or England.

Also , another one I’ll chuck in the ring - Owen Hargreaves.

Eric Cantona. Good by the standards of the cloggers of the time that made up a lot of English football, but there's a reason he only played around 40-odd times for France and the rags actually became far better after he left. Bergkamp was way better, for me.
