Yep!! Still hurts. That would have been some double if he had managed to score in both SemisAlso missed a sitter in the game that could have led to it being the greatest season in our history
Hamilton Ricard. Excellent scoring recored in the premier league, plenty of skill and power, yet some still believe he was useless, probably based on his initial struggle.
Good shout.A player i always think is forgotten about a little is Nick Barmby. Massive player for us that first premier league season under Robson and a huge signing for a newly promoted club.
It's testament to how many injuries Ehiogu had, that's all.Riggott is a great shout. The amount of games he played whilst being in competition with Southgate & Ugo is testament to how good he really was
I think that's a little unfair on the hit and miss front, certainly in 98/99 through 99/00 he was a fairly consistent threat for the most part.Mainly for his abysmal performances in the promotion season, he was god damn awful, I was more annoyed at Robson for persiting with him when Alun Armstrong looked a better option.
Premier league was a different story once he had settled in, but he was aways very hit and miss, one game hed be a world beater, next hed be like Yakubu on his way out.
Isn't it strange that none of the promotion team from 2015/16 are deemed to be under appreciated? Was trying to think of one but the best I could come up with would be Nsue but even then he was a bit of a fan favourite.
Alway thought Chris Riggott doesn't get enough praise for our run from 2004/2006. Loved him alongside Southgate.
The clown in charge brought that on.Stuani was incredibly unappreciated at the time.
It's just since he left us that people have pretended that they always knew he was the best striker at the club and was wasted on the wing.
People moaned about him all the time, but his relative success at Girona has led to a rewriting of history.
He still had his supporters, before somebody jumps in and says they always believed in him.
Agree re: Boateng. Not sure I remember Mustoe getting loads of stick though. He might have been under-rated by some but fairly sure he was universally liked.Robbie Mustoe
He got loads of stick from the North Stand but was always a favourite of mine.
Not sure Boateng was under-rated - the fans always loved him. a great player.
Agree on Mustoe, he was universally popular.I agree about a few already mentioned, but I have not as yet met a Boro fan who didn’t love Robbie Mustoe, so don’t understand his inclusion.
A player I always liked and gave 100% but many seemed to feel the opposite was Derek Whyte.
Vickers was a liability in the premI know that this will have been done before but was watching a video this morning of Boro beating Derby 4-0 in 2001.
Was amazed to see Vickers playing as in my mind he left sometime around 98/99.
Made me think that he is probably one of our more unappreciated players from recent years. Was never outstanding but similarly was with us for 8-yrs and rarely let us down in that period. Played over 250 games for us in that time which is pretty impressive given some of the signings that we were making around that time.
Which other Boro players deserve a bit more recognition for their efforts for the club
Let it go mate, Jeez.The clown in charge brought that on.
