I'd have said Oakley.

 

Many people ridiculed him on here after he left, saying he had only ever had about 10 good games for us etc. Then he went to Derby, captained them to promotion and looked one of their better players in the Prem.

 

No coincidence that things began to go down hill after he got injured in 2003.

 

Can't really call Niemi "unsung" when he won player of the year in 03/04.

Too true

 

How long was he around 1st team 11 years (made debut 95)

Ken Monkou is a good shout for me. All the times we just escaped relegation from the Premiership and we were so thankful to MLT, there was Kenny at the back putting in some solid displays and weighing in with a few goals, including the 5-4 vs Norwich winner.

 

Chris Marsden was one of those players that we signed that nobody really expected anything from, and yet went on to be the biggest suprise for fans.

Kevin Moore

Neil Heaney

Paul Allen (no not that one - the midfield maestro version)

Tommy Wridrington

and Mark Walters

 

That one's a joke, right?

Paul Williams.

 

Came in on a free if my memory is correct and did a top job at the back for us.

 

Was a calming influence and very much and unsung hero.

A mention of two of the older generation of players who did so much for us in the early 60s - Ken Wimshurst and Dave Burnside

good shout

 

another Jim Melia

 

but for me has to be Nick Holmes, other than keeper, he played virtually everywhere and rarely let you down

did he not hold Bridge back because he played

 

If he did it wasn't for long because he only played 26 games for us. Perhaps not so much an unsung hero - just a player I liked having in the team.
