Naybet, he's definitely high up that list as well, came in and just breezed the PL. Very underrated player, the only regret is we picked him up so late in his career. Quality CBEspen Baardsen. Came in for Walker's injuries and was excellent.
Atouba. Couldn't work out if he was a professional or on a wind up. One week turd, next week he would be doing these bizarre Brazilian feints, nutmegs and dummies. Scored a worldie at St James Park too
Any of the lads that came in during the Santin/Jol era really. Whole new team, whole new mindset, it's them who put us where we are today. We went from a laughing stock to people taking notice.
Pamarot, Ziegler, Edman, Mendes, Naybet, Kanoute etc
I see your Postiga and raise you Raziak.Postiga.
I had a period as a kid where I was obsessed with watching free kick goals and that beautiful one from Ziege was mouthwatering to me haha.Ziege
Carr
Edman
Joe Kinnear
He was. But in sides with such good players he was a bit overshadowed. Even his fellow fullback was better known.In his time, very highly rated. An excellent skillful attacking fullback when cloggers were still in vogue.
What a dick he became later, but class as a player.

I did think of naming Peter Baker instead but he really wasn’t unsung.
If memory serves Carr was highly rated by many, apparently Man Utd came in for him at one point, and then he went to Newcastle which was weird as he was probably our best player for a time.Paul Walsh
