Am feeling a bit bored today, so how about this one to while away a few minutes: who is the most underrated Arsenal player (past or present)?

One to get the ball rolling: Ray Parlour.

Big Phil Senderos! Qaulity player with the height and strength to attack the ball in the air that people say we need. Lacks confidence and needs a run in the side to prove himself.

I don't expect anyone will agree but is my opinion.

Was Ray Parlour underated? I think most people rated him highly as a player, granted not a superstar like Overmars, Wright, Adams etc. but still highly rated. I think he is also rated as a person now as he still stands up for Arsenal everytime he is on the telly.

Paul Davis-never capped for England which was a disgrace, was the heartbeat of the midfield throughout the 80s, gave 100 percent every game...an Arsenal man through and through but never seems to get too much of a mention

Giles Grimandi, was crap at first but quietly became a solid and consistent player.

Alex Manninger

not a great player but i though he always done well for us, better than almunia for certain.

Good shout... Paul Davis wasn't even voted into the 50 greatest Arsenal players list on Arsenal.com, so he's certainly underrated!

F*ck it....Eboue

and yes he is underrated, because people on here think he's utter sh1te, whereas I just think he's not very good

Also...Gilles Grimandi; his versatility proved ever so useful, and his goal in a 1-0 win against Palace in '98, when we were struggling for 11 fit players, could well have played a major part in us winning the league!

On his day Thierry Henry was a decent player.
