Most underrated player for Charlton

Very underrated. Got goals in the promotion season and then again in the top division.Lordflashheart said:Whilst he was a bit lightweight I always enjoyed watching Mark Stuart - on his day a tidy skilful player2 -
None of these other than Diawara and the Keepers were ever actually underrated IMO. Lots of them were rated quite highly whilst we were here. Kishishev for example one of our most rated players in my lifetime.4

+1 for Keith Jones. Went about his business and was a vital player in the 98 play off season. One of the best £150k the club has ever spent.3

Bryan Hughes is a good shout. Decent, versatile player who always gave his all. Scored some brilliantly timed goals as well; scored against Palace in the game that sent them down, scored the last minute goal that got Pardew his first win and scored the penalty that knocked Chelsea out of the League Cup and gave Mourinho his first loss at Stamford Bridge (not that he'd admit it).

Steve Thompson was another. £15k we picked him up for. Absolute warrior, not the most graceful of Centre Backs, but always put himself on the line.8

Wonderful to watch on his day but didn't always have 'his day.'
Lennie's Barcelona or Bromley quote was very apt.
He (Stuart) played for Rochdale for a while and they loved him up there.1 -
At the risk of ridicule, which I would understand to an extent, can I nominate Les Berry?
Close on 400 games for us. He must have done something right.5 -
Dare I suggest Alan Pardew (the player)
Never very popular, but for a couple of season his goalscoring was crucial in keeping us in mid table at a time when we were desperately short of money and didn't have prolific strikers
9 league goals in 92/93 and 10 league goals in 93/94, how much would a Championship midfielder with those numbers be worth now?0 -

I am of course, like others above me, referring to Radostin Kishishev.
Some may have realised that actually he wasn't bad when, well past his peak, he p***** all over the much vaunted Semedo and Racon when Brighton stuffed us 4-0 at The Valley.
Great player for us and gave his all for the shirt every time.

i always thought Diawara was rated. certainly don't remember him receiving undeserved abuse from fans. i used to call him Yaya Diawara in respect that he was like Yaya Toure for us.

Kish was more than a workhorse, he was a skilful passer of the ballhoof_it_up_to_benty said:
Players who do all the dirty work like Kish are often underrated - you only appreciate their work when they're not playing and see the difference.Stig said:
He could play a delightful through ball, seeing opportunities a good second or two before the likes of Lisbinho, but because the intended target was so slow seeing the chance it looked like a wasted ball from Kish hence why he used to get so much grief.
I loved the interview with him on Charlton Live a year or two back; either @LouisMend or @KillersBeard caught up with him when he was visiting The Valley on a matchday and he sounded on excellent form, still very passionate about football and Charlton and the bleeper had to be employed once or twice too!2 -

Murray criticised Diawara heavily as did a number of fans - I thought he was a class act.Karim_myBagheri said:i always thought Diawara was rated. certainly don't remember him receiving undeserved abuse from fans. i used to call him Yaya Diawara in respect that he was like Yaya Toure for us.1 -
Peter Shaw (who I saw at the Valley the other week)

Richard Rufus. Rated at Charlton yes but, IMHO, the best English CB to never play for England.
obviously that might have come if he hadn't been blighted by injuries.0 -
Deon Burton? Can't actually remember whether he was well rated or not but his hold up play was superb.

I think Murrays comments were part of him blaming Dowie for everything, and at the time most people took his word as Gospel. Anyone who saw him could tell Diawara was a decent player.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:
