Greatest Unsung Hero

[Papa Shango]

Carlton Palmer

Paul Williams

Graeme Le Saux

Jamie Redknapp

[CitySaint]

Definitely Neil Maddison, was probably our other player of any note circa 93/94/95.

[Victor]

was a hero

 

and well sung. (not a misprint!)

[monsoon]

was a hero

 

 

so was jimmy melia.

[70's Mike]

so was jimmy melia.

 

 

not always at the time , until people got used to his style.

[Crab Lungs]

Patrick Colletter - tough as old boots

 

Wikipedia agrees too... Seems PC had a very interesting life before football!

Defo agree with Paul Williams suggestion, and Monkou too. Spose Dryden is a good shout, although my memories of him will always be soiled after we reluctantly trotted him out at SJP against Newcastle a few years ago...

you could be right.

 

better known for partnership with paine/chivers and then davis

[Lowestoft-Saint]

I guess i will just add a few players who had fairly decent runs in the side, yet never really set the football world alight, but all worthy of recognition from saints fans.

 

Neil Maddison

Reuben Agboola

Malcolm Waldron

Reuben had a funny career really, one great season in a system that suited him but the rest ?

[Thorpe-le-Saint]

Ulrich van Gobbel

[70's Mike]

Ulrich van Gobbel

 

not someone to get on the wrong side off

[StAndy1970]

Title of this thread was Unsung Hero. Got to be Frannie Benali. You talk to most non-saints fans and they rate him as terrible, but we all no how impotant he was to us.

[rpb]

How about Cliff Huxford? Paine and Sydenham got all the praise but he was with us from Division 3 to Division 1.

[Under Weststand]

Malcolm Waldron, Mark (Psycho) Dennis & the best unsung hero for me was Nick Holmes, he is the sort of player you only miss when he wasn't there. Add David Peach in there as well.

[Norm]

'Big' John McGrath! He reminded me of Desperate Dan of the Dandy comic. Eric Day, Tommy Traynor, Ken W, Hughie F, Ivan G, Stuart Williams, Tommy Hare.

 

Some of many, imho.

Jimmy Melia helped us to Div 1 he was always available to receive the ball

[Dalek2003]

David Armstrong

 

 

The 'bald eagle' def one of the best !

[derry]

Ron Davies, Jimmy Gabriel, Tony Knapp, George Kirby, Chris Nicholl, George O'Brien, Brian O'Neil etc etc.

[miserableoldgit]

Has to be Ali Dia for sheer effrontery!

Tommy 'widdo' Widdrington.

David Hughes

Ronnie Ekelund

[The Fat Controller]

Jimmy Case no doubts

[Pugwash]

John Sydenham. Never got the praise he deserved, playing alongside Paine, Chivers, Channon and Davies.

[hasper57saint]

I know he's 'just down the 27' but Joe Jordan for me. He frightened the life out of my nipper when he appeared on the pitch with his teeth out. He was so fearsome I'm sure he would frighten a Bulldog out of a Butchers Shop. Ah! What memories.

[hughieslastminutegoal]

Cliff Huxford for me
