    Nicky Eaden would be my hands down winner. A truly great player for us who was slagged off by the vocal idiot minority.

    Honourable mentions to Brendan O'Connell, Dave Watson, Owen Archdeacon and Mark Robinson.

    It's a great shout actually. But I'm sticking with O'Connell. I still talk to reds fans who think he was toss, whereas I don't know a reds fan who thinks Eaden was ****, which is funny considering I heard "tha *****, Eaden!" every home game incessantly, even when he'd done summat perfectly reight.

    I'd say Dave Watson was highly rated. Most seem to rate him on a par with Mueller if not better?!

    Got **** loads of stick initially along with Eaden. "Too Small". "**** at crosses". "Can't catch". The usual dribble. It's only in the Oakwellian rewriting of History that those who did the slagging off edit it out.

    Steve Agnew.

    Used to get slated for not 'getting stuck in' to tackles, but was a gifted laiker.

    I'd say that Agnew was well appreciated by the vast majority, especially after moving into midfield.

    Can't recall Hayes getting too much unfair criticism...

    Totally agree with the Nicky Eaden shout

    he was a very very good player. Always put a shift in and had a great cross too. Met him on more than one occasion and can honestly say he was a very honest, down to earth humble sorta guy...top bloke IMHO.

    I asked the other night but you didn't say, where is that from? I've heard it on tv recently.

    It's one of those annoying as **** things that the hipsters say on twitter etc, 24/7. I'm using it ironically.
