Under Mac, he came on for the final 10 minutes of games when we shifted to 424. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we say the likes of waghorn who cost 5 times as much have been 5 times better. in his first season his record was better than waghorn this season.

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (In the last 10 years) Paul Coutts John Eustace Johnny Russell Jamie Ward All four were a lot better than most people gave them credit for IMO.

24Charlie Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) 36 minutes ago, Steve How Hard? said: Connor Sammon. Bear with me with this one. Nobody could ever argue he was a great footballer or a guaranteed starter for us. However as a sub for sheer nuisance factor and used as a battering ram, I thought he did a job in a few games when thrown on. Gutted! My first thought when I saw this thread was Conor and was so pleased I’d be able to offer his name but @Steve How Hard? beat me to it. I always liked his selfless effort and decent hold up play. I used to think if this lad could hit a barn door with a banjo he’d be some player but goals never came easy for the big fella. When I see a show pony like Lawrence with abundant talent but with half the commitment of Sammon it winds be up. Tom could learn something from Conor.

LeedsCityRam Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Couple of others have mentioned him also but John Eustace was very underrated. Such a good player & often the foundation of away wins between 2012-14 Tom Ince also not appreciated as much as he should've been...fantastic goals & assists record here. Was appalled he got booed on his first return here with Stoke Chris Baird was much better than some folk gave him credit for, so assured & fantastic delivery. Glad he won most people over in the end Going back a bit, Daryl Powell & Ron Willems didnt often get the credit they deserved.

IslandExile Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 There's a few from the Jim Smith era because of so many more lauded players. So, I'd include: Russell Hoult Lee Carsley Deon Burton LeedsCityRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie20 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 When he was playing, George Williams was seriously under appreciated. In the intervening years opinions seem to have mellowed and he's now recognised as more than just a half-decent player. Steve How Hard? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
