eejay the dj 31,964 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Was thinking about Johan Cruyff sadly passing and our own Davie Cooper being gone 21 years . Thought of the best 11 UNSUNG heroes of the last 20 years. Ones that played for our famous club, but maybe never got the credit they deserved, for significant achievement Didn't include British union players such as English ,Irish or players from Southern Ireland and Australia to make it bit harder Came up with this team .. 1 Ronald Waterreus. Helicopter Sunday 2 2 Sergio Porrini Treble winners 1999 team 3 Sasa Papac 3 in a row 2009/10/11 4 Madjid Bougherra 3 in a Row 2009/10/11 5 Gordan Petric 1996 Double winners 6 Brahim Hemdani . 2008 .Double Cup winners and road to Uefa Cup Final 7 Andrei Kanchelskis Double winners 2000 8 Shota Arveladze .Both Helicopters Sundays 1 and 2 9 Gabriel Amato ... Treble winners 1999,Double winners 2000 and Top entertainer. 10 Vladimir Weiss .........2011 Champions and League cup winners 11 DeMarcus Beasley 2009/10 Champions Just a bit of fun guys .We certainly had our fair share of amazing foreign talent playing for our amazing club over last 20 years . This would probably be my best 11 from guys that don't usually get the credit for what they achieved . Apologies to the anoraks if I got any details wrong . Apologies to the guys that will just have a moan or a pop anyway . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His sending off in semi, may have even cost us a European trophy . Brilliant performer though that season . Always thought Tugay was a bit part type player for us ..Never really a fan but fair shout . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Tony Vidmar. Possibly Claudio Reyna. I say possibly because he's not quite unsung in the sense that we all rated him highly but in a team of Mols', Gio's, Numan's and the like he maybe never quite got the star man billing he most certainly deserved IMO.......

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,256 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I will take Cousin, thank you for offering him ?. I know what you mean re Tugay but 4 goals and 40 odd appearances is decent. There was also a European game he played sweeper and simply oozed class. Possibly in the Mendes category as decent but not quite quite a Sasa. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coplandbear11 1,087 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Wouldn't say Weiss was an 'unsung hero' as such. He's held in very high regard by a lot of bears. Or Papac. But I get your point ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.A.I 36,183 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Watterus had a couple of good games early on but was a complete bomb scare the next season. I've not idea why some rate him so highly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vwbear 399 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Watteraus should never have been given a second season he was found out i guess hemdani and papap will have everyone frothing except me i will go vidmar cannigia and flo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRave 4 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Papac is being talked up to be so under-rated that he is now becoming over-rated in my opinion. He wasn't as good as some make out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eejay the dj 31,964 Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Prso and Cousin . Both superb . They slipped my mind but both would be in my best 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sket 13,610 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Actually never mind,I'm talking pish. I'd agree with Cousin. Unplayable on his day,that red card cost us dearly though. His performance where he destroyed the tarriers was a joy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carling1873 1,401 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I would have to throw my hat in for Amoruso and Guttuso, loved to watch both and nearly got my first born call after them (Gutted), now called Donnie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was brilliant, rag dolled the defence the full game, on his game he was pretty much unplayable its a shame they were few and far between Lyon away was another.

He was immense in that game , Caldwell n McMannus looked like two lost boys but like you say not consistent enough & a very moody player. Loved big Dado though & Albertz.

southcoastbear 1,639 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Got say Klos and Mol's, possibly Lovenkrands as well if only for the 3-2 cup final win against the mhanky mob Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
