Tony Pulis: third and fourth divisions as a player from what I remember.
Thats a difficult one though as was he a rubbish player or was he a good player at his level?
You could say that Keith Peacock was a rubbish player because he never played in the top flight for us (?) yet spent his whole career around the Second / Third Division
Pardew wasn't a rubbish player, FA Cup finalist, and scored many goals for us. Dowie was an international and played in the top flight
To me it would be people like Lennie, Mourinho, Wenger who had no or little professional playing career
Ferguson had a decent but unfulfilled playing career, a bit like Curbishley, where they probably felt they never achieved their full potential. I imagine this drove them on as managers
I know that it was only Scotland but he did manage to score 171 goals in 317 appearances including 25 in 41 for Rangers as well as 45 in 51 for Dunfermiline in one season when he was top scorer in the Scottish League.

Surely it's not down to what league he is in but how well he plays in his league. Some element of consistency in form surely makes someone a great player even if its in a lower league?

Surely 'rubbish' player is a relative term though?
I wouldn't mind betting that Kent League players are 'good' compared to most of us on here for example!
Pulis has spent around 10 years managing 2,3,4 tiers above the level he played at.
Sir Keith Peacock never did that. His managerial career as MANAGER (rather than assistant manager as he was under Curbs) was spent at or below the level he played at.

Hate to say it but would you put Alan Pardew in this category? Or would he be Okay Player / Okay Manager?

Will be next Charlton managed and lead us to promotion this season.

However his managerial careers is dubious. Never seems to stay anywhere for more than 2 seasons.
Wish I'd been that "rubbish".
