Underrated; Matin Foyle.
Under-rated: Nigel Jemson (in his first spell with us). Thought he was a really clever forward, but there seemed to be quite a few fans that were a little unimpressed by him.
Also under-rated: John Byrne. I think pretty much everyone rated him at the time tbh, but he seldom seems to get mentioned by anyone these days. Absolute class.
Oh for a Martin Foyle now...Underrated; Matin Foyle.
He annoyed Joey by wanting to take set-pieces too which was never going to go down well!On Nigel Jemson, I think most rated him as a player but were unimpressed as he was a bit of a c*ck.
That's absolutely a fair caveat, and will agree that it definitely contributed to part of it.I don’t think there’s anything too controversial about saying that you don’t think Roofe was our best player in 15/16 when you look at that squad. What a team.
One caveat might be that Roofe was a bit broken in the last third of the season. A mixture of injury and playing so many games (including the last half of the previous season) for us when he was still relatively new to mens football.
We’ve seen since that his body isn’t perhaps the strongest, given the amount of injuries he’s had at other clubs.
But you’ve said he was both an important and fantastic player for us, so think your view on the matter is completely fair even if folk don’t necessarily agree.
Agreed, he's my serious shout for most underrated player. I actually thought the team wasn't set to accommodate him enough during his time here.Joe Rothwell easily the most underrated player in recent history. Used to glide past players and was far too good for this level as he's gone on to prove.
He also had a few injuries here which just didn't help him in terms of rhythm.Agreed, he's my serious shout for most underrated player. I actually thought the team wasn't set to accommodate him enough during his time here.

Overrated: Josh Ruffels, Sam Long, Phil Whitehead, Callum O'Dowda, Paul Kee, Jamie Cook, Arendse, Chris Allen.
In my opinion, yes.Was Josh Ruffels overrated?
I remember plenty saying we needed better and now he is in the Championship having made over 50 appearances.
Old Paul "flapper" Kee? Only person who rated him was the Northern Ireland managerPaul Kee was overrated? I don't remember anyone rating him highly at all!
Probably correct, actually, I was young at the time and was scared shitless every time the ball got anywhere near him. I probably classed him as overrated because he played international football.Paul Kee was overrated? I don't remember anyone rating him highly at all!
You certainly don't like homegrown players !Underrated: Ciaran Brown, Agyei, Les Robinson, Johnny Byrne, Ceri Evans, Mark Watson, Andy Crosby, John Durnin, Luke Foster.
