Any suggestions?
I'll throw Dennis Irwin and Paul Mcgrath into the mix.

I’ve said this before but I seem to remember a run of games when we just didn’t concede. Boro might have got close to 10 games without a goal. Those two were brilliant together.I'm not sure Gareth Southgate got the full recognition along with Ugo,they could easily have played as a partnership for a top 4 team,we were very lucky to have them.
Yeah, broke some record or other.I’ve said this before but I seem to remember a run of games when we just didn’t concede. Boro might have got close to 10 games without a goal. Those two were brilliant together.
On the Boro front it’s probably downing, gets absolutely slated by 90% of the population, I remember one game for England he put it on a plate for crouch about 4 times. He fluffed them all and the press went to town on downing for failing to create again.Any suggestions?

Good shout. I remember at the time his defensive stats were top of the league for a couple of years, yet no one outside of Boro talked about himI'd also say Boateng for boro.
Not by Boro fans, but by fans of other clubs. There was a 3 year period where he was one of the best defensive midfielders in the league but I doubt anyone outside the club recognised it.
I still think we've have finished 4th in 04/05 if he hadn't been injured for the run in. Our form dipped badly without.
Better than Ince for us and Ince was excellent for us and getting picked for England.
How he only got 4 caps and someone like Nigel De Jong picked up about 80 is ridiculous.
Try living in Manchester and you'd end up feeling he's the most overrated playerEric Cantona?
Good suggestion that.I lot of ex players say McManaman was extremely underrated.
Thats was the first time Downing played for England. I thought it was more than 4 chances Crouch fluffed but get your point.On the Boro front it’s probably downing, gets absolutely slated by 90% of the population, I remember one game for England he put it on a plate for crouch about 4 times. He fluffed them all and the press went to town on downing for failing to create again.
Ask Viduka or JFH what they think of Downing. Ask World Cup and champ league winner Massimo Oddo if he enjoyed playing against downing. That will tell you everything
Anyone who ends up in the back pocket of Steve Baker can never be 'underrated'I lot of ex players say McManaman was extremely underrated.
