    So is this thread about those derided on these boards and target of the boo boys because they aren't as skilful as their peers. They have not so obvious qualities, always put in 110%, and will fill any position.
    From Mally Lord to David Meyler

    Or is it some of our gems who the rest of the world didn't appreciate, and so never quite realised their potentials.
    Waggy? I'd add Chris Galvin, maybe it's cos it coincides with when I started going regularly by myself.

    Local lad...played for England U21s when international honours meant summat and whilst on our books, another one written out of history.

    Very good on the ball with great close control , he scored a great late winner at Scunthorpe on a Friday night in '82 .

    It's plain to see, he's not the Mann he used to be.

    The Galvin shuffle was unique. Took me ages to master it.

    Andy Flounders...on a goals per games played in the 80s he rates #1 of all our players since WWII...wasn't quick or skilful but he certainly knew how to score, averaging almost 1 every 2 games...but we let him go to Scunthorpe, where he scored almost 100 goals in 4 seasons, far too soon. But he never made the headlines.

    My memories of Paul Haigh are that every shot he had went miles over the bar, which is probably totally wrong, and has distorted over the years.

    And his blond Huddlestonesque haircut I seem to remember him having at one stage. Now someone will tell me that will be someone else.... <doh><doh><laugh><laugh>

    Will's gone with Ash and there's a nice little twist on the video he's done.

    Was Mark Greaves underrated by older supporters?

    I was quite young at the time but he was one of my favourite players. Tough tackling utility man.

    What are the old codger views of Greavesy?
