City's most underrated ever player?

He certainly was underrated, I got to know him a bit as I used to play golf with his sisters husband.

 

With respect I feel that you misinterpret my original post. I did not state just 'Ian Ashby' alone and I was not suggesting that he was underrated. My post when read in it's entirety suggested that Ashby was not necessarily a particularly gifted footballer but his undoubted talents were in influence and organisation etc, and that perhaps he was not the best player we have ever had as suggested in some quarters. When he was absent the team was never the same without his influence as was the same with full back and captain Andy Davidson a similar type of character from a different era.

 

Are you still spelling his name wrong on purpose then ? That was the point of Quill's post

 

Ashbee and Alex Bruce - love a number 4 me

 

No, I did not spell his name in error, that was my unintentional mistake, (twice) and I did miss the point of his post. What more can I say, some of us are far from perfect.

 

Harry NGata he went on to play for Juventus (Brunswick Juventus) that is )

 

Andy Flounders was one of our most OVERrated players ever !!

 

Just playing hull city monopoly with our lass, she just bought boaz, best city keeper ever, never got the recognition he deserved

 

It's funny that you happened to bring that game up today, because only earlier on today I re-discovered it in the attic! Ah, memories. And yes I would agree with what you say about Myhill, too.

 

Agreed.
Great goalscoring stats, typical Hull larker, no ego (just like Andy Saville), played alongside Mutrie, Edwards and Whitehurst (all bigger 'personalities') so tended not to get noticed.

But the stats speak for themselves. Eat your heart out Alexander, Dudfield etc

 

Was this Boaz Myhill's best ever save?

You decide....

 

I can recall a couple of brilliant double saves he made in that game at Spurs, but I don't think anything quite tops that one. When I think of Myhill, that tends to be the first save that pops into my head.

 

Haven't gone through the whole thread, but I've got to agree with Bobby Doyle- travesty he got assaulted as he was running our midfield for a period the season before.
I would also stump up Andy Flounders. Natural born goalscorer who scored goals wherever he went. Never really seemed to be warmed to by City fans, but I just thought he was the classiest finisher, bar Edwards, that I'd seen.

 

Andy Payton

 

Not really underrated was he?....went for big money and well appreciated by the fans whilst here

 

Loved the shuffle

Possibly one of the most important in our history. We were 2 up, I'm sure I remember a better save before we scored? Anyway if we conceded then and lost, what would the years in between have bought? We overspent and had an aged squad, would we ever have got promoted that first time??

 

True enough but then again, we wouldn't have the Allams now..
