Unsung Heroes

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Unsung Heroes

Post by goonersid »

I know there's probably a thread in the vaults, but you can suck my hairy beanbag if you think I should search for it :wink:
Players who aren't acknowledged as much as they should be.
I've been watching a lot of Wenger era cup finals and big game highlights!
The obvious one is, the Romford Pele, but I had never given Wiltord credit for his work rate.
Thoughts?

Parlour was. Man of the match in the 98 cup final v Newcastle and also the 2002 v Chelsea

Hard working, could tackle and score the odd goal

I quite liked Stefan Schwarz,and thought Alex Manninger summed up Arsenals grit around that time

Schwarz wasn't unsung he was one of our best players at that time and a *word censored* who left us in the lurch.

Manninger didn't play enough to be unsung hero imo. Cult hero yes. Not unsung

Grimster was unsung but became cult I would say.

Nelson vivas perhaps??!! Will get shouted down but was solid enough as was the horse oleg...even Cygan had his moments when we won the league! Maybe nome of these played enough.

Bacary Sagna was perhaps? quietly effective for a number of years. Wyltord and Romford defo were too.

Paul Davis never got anywhere near the amount of respect and praise he deserved outside of Highbury. In an era when English football was completely devoid of any skill, he shone out like a beacon.

Ooh this is one that has to be up there. The man had silken skills, power, pace, strength. Everything. A truly gifted player.

For me its a tie between Romford and Davis.

And sid is still a norny cûnt. :lol: :wink:
