dogtanian 252 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Looking back over the years we have had some special players at our club, Laudrup, Gascoigne, Albertz, Amourrso etc to name a few and while they take all the plaudits as they should being legends who do you feel is the real unsung heroes? Players that maybe didn't get all the credit or limelight but we are grateful they played for our club. Ive thought of a few that springs to mind but as the list grew its turned out more like a B team if you like. There may be some eyebrows raised in my selection but its based on who i have seen play in person, can remember and I wanted to stay away from some of the more obvious choices as well.

CaptainAmerica18 846 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Weiss gets far more praise than he probably deserved. These threads pop up every so often and it turns out more often than not they were highly praised or had a song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Enclosure Row N 2,823 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 When asking for opinions, nobody is right and nobody is wrong. Papac for me is one of the hardest working professionals I've had the pleasure to watch. No moans or complaints, just got on and did his job without any hassle, frills or shouting and bawling. Got kicked up and down but came back again and again at the opposition. .................................could have done with a bloody good haircut though :-) :-) :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a few more I was debating and it was quite hard to pick some while not going for the easy options or the more obvious picks. Always interesting to find out other bears opinions or any players who may have been overlooked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His haircut was okay. I'd have Ronald Waterreus and Shota Averladze in the team. Definitely not Weiss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Boumsong is a strange pick. He was never out of the limelight as far as I can remember. Linked with a big money move away from the minute he got here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkirkNS 6,298 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Papac is standout from recent years, likes of Tugay also in job he done when he got a game, tells you how strong we were in season 98 onwards! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.A.I 36,183 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Munro, Moore, Cleland, Whittaker (wank of a guy now but didn't think he was as bad as people made out at the time), Tugay, McCulloch (only when not played as a centre back past few years he always hot dogs abuse but did a fair job again up until he went to centre back ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papac was helped in the fact he always had two solid centre-halves to help him out. Wallace is stuck with Laurel & Hardy EDIT: And under Smith, our left midfielder would be brilliant at covering, like Whittaker sometimes played out there Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz52 11,837 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I don't think Daniel Cousin got the credit he sometimes deserved, aye he was a bit of a fanny with his temperament, like getting sent off in Fiorentina. But some of the goals he scored were world class, the way he beat Mark Wilson and finished by Boruc was amazing. His goal vs Lyon was just incredible, the touch and finish was world class.
