Mcmanaman was NOT overrated. Everyone thought he was utter shite, which of course, he was.
I will nominate one Paul Dickov. Useless player, apart from that goal obviously.

Goater. Lovely bloke, scored some really important goals, but got most of his goals in a team creating 20 chances a game for him.

I was actually going to say Kompany. Very good at what he does, and good in front of the camera but, for me, vastly overrated by Blues.GaudinoMotors said:Mike Sheron
Richard Edghill - (before it became too obvious)
Richard Dunne
and just to be controversial
Kompany
When it comes to the question of which player with the least ability is held in the highest regard by our own fans, there is only one answer...
Unpopular I know, but City 'legend' Paul Dickov was amongst the worst footballers I have ever seen..
Not only was he appalling in 3 divisions, he was annoying to the core.
The 'wasp' buzzed along, achieving nothing, chasing down back passes for no reward, not once. Scoring less goals in the same period as Kevin Horlock.
We paid near £1 million pound in 1996 for a striker, that striker with the exception of one goal was awful week in week out. His productivity lead us to division 2, his goals, remember this man was a one million pound striker in effectively a pub league took us to the dizzy heights of 3rd. 5 points behind the mighty Walsall who's whole squad will have cost less than Dickov.
Take that goal away, thus his status as a legend and he wouldn't even be remembered, or would be remembered as one of our worst players..
He is the only truly shit player that we have had that is so revered, and not judged on his ability at all.
People forget, they tag him a leg end, he missed chance after chance in that game, hey the tool even missed his penalty. Yes people forget/ignore that too.
Would he be a legend if that missed penalty then cost us promotion? The true hero or legend from that day, and I dislike the bloke, Nicky Weaver..
So as the question posed was, the most over rated player, my answer a £1 million striker scoring 35 goals in over 170 games for a team that gained promotion twice and played in the old 3rd division. Any other player would have been lambasted and ridicules for years..Not this 'legend' though!
To put Dickov's record in context, 35/170, baring in mind that he was an incredibly expensive player in division 2&3, I'll use the aforementioned Balotelli, a guy who's fee is probably comparable put into context of what £1 million meant to us in 1996 and what £20 million means to us now, Mario scored 20 in 50.
Balotelli's City's career divided opinion, but there's no doubting his ability, Dickov however, nobody can honestly rate his ability and can only like him based on 1 goal!

The Pink Panther said:I massively over rated all of these players. At one point I believed they were going to carry us through for years to come as they all appeared from the academy at pretty much the same time

Remember at the time we were a club that was yo-yo-ing with relegation and getting mid-table was a successful season. It wasn't until Frank Sinatra came in when we started to evolve. Without Frank, those players would have been with us still trying to keep us up and be rated well.
