Who is the most underrated West Ham player of the Premier League era, and why? 🤔

Hopefully we'll be back very soon...

nickdomjan4w ago

Mark Noble.....the ultimate grey man.......always a poorer team when he didn't play

whitefordstw1mo ago

Mark Noble because sometimes he had some really average players around him and yet always gave 100%

bilichammer1231mo ago

Collins imo. Pablo has a great affection and has improved under pelligrini.

michaelrglynn1mo ago

Nobes is a given, so I’m going for Craig Dawson. Improved our defence no end for a couple of seasons and scored some important goals too. Wish we’d signed him years before.

dantowen819511mo ago

Remember the reaction when we signed Dawson? I don’t think a player has ever won over a sceptical fanbase quite like big Craig!

davesims1mo ago

The best uncapped England prospect

lukesinclair0071mo ago

All the others had quite high profile attention ,but ginge didnt ,and he was quute simply one of our best players in the last 30 years .ginger pele .....

dantowen819511mo ago

Over two spells as well! Collins funnily enough said Gabbidon and Etherington were underrated - hard to disagree

wheeters1mo ago

Noble for me leader workhorse every team needs one like noble West Ham needs another Noble over looked by England aswell

michaelrglynn1mo ago

Pablo Fornals. Top man. Scored some valuable goals in Europe and still loved us after we sold him.

dantowen819511mo ago

I wonder how differently things would’ve gone for Pablo if we’d never signed Paqueta It felt like Pablo rarely played in his best position for us

kyle.dimond1mo ago

I think there’s an argument for Antonio when you look at how many strikers came and went.

whitefordstw1mo ago

the moment he said he was glad we got relegated he can go to hell

caleb.sage1mo ago

Winston Reid. Solid defender who always looked asured of himself.

moharris19581mo ago

Thomas Soucek. He's a work horse but get no recognition for it. I hope he's back on Fri night

dantowen819511mo ago

I think he will be back! I’m guessing he’ll take Kante’s place as he’s suspended

reubengane51mo ago

James Collins, wished we had him now!

dantowen819511mo ago

There’s a few defenders I can think of - Dawson, Ogbonna, Zouma… what a trio that was in the Moyes heyday

jpshpton1mo ago

Pablo Fornals - a proper footballer. A fantastic team player too. A very likeable guy.

dantowen819511mo ago

Pablo absolutely loves the club as well. He’s been fantastic since returning to Spain, he’s playing Champions League football alongside Pellegrini at Betis these days

adnan.riaz1mo ago

Kevin Nolan. An insane baller for West Ham. You know Hammers fans love him for his loyalty.

dantowen819511mo ago

They don’t make goalscoring midfielders like him anymore!

pranav.shahaney1mo ago

Manuel Lanzini for me. Extremely creative as a number 10 and always gave it his all for West Ham. While injuries did keep him out of the side a lot, one cannot discount his importance to the team

dantowen819511mo ago

That spurs goal is one of the best I’ve ever seen 😂

dantowen819511mo ago

Bobby Zamora! So many memorable moments

james.brooke1mo ago

Harewood clears

pranav.shahaney1mo ago

I think nobody on this planet has spoken about Bobby Zamora more than you have over the last week 🤣

james.brooke1mo ago

Marlon Harewood, an absolute unit of a centre forward

harveyleonard991mo ago

Cresswell immediately the first name that came to mind when I saw this. Doesn’t get the spotlight but put a shift in when West Ham were a really decent side

jonny1mo ago

Maybe a bit of a rouge one… but always thought Pablo Fornals was massively underrated! Top footballer on his day

lee.connor1mo ago

Kevin Nolan was great for West Ham in my opinion. Goals, energy, bit of bite, bit nasty, everything most modern midfield players aren’t.

josh.barker1mo ago

Antonio could have been a top level striker if not for the injuries, similar to Wilson at Bournemouth and Newcastle

matthew.johns1mo ago

Always liked Aaron Cresswell, scored some unbelievable free-kicks over the years!

freddie1mo ago

He was so good! Big fan

antonymmartin841mo ago

Soucek as well deserves credit. He was immense for us first couple seasons until Moyes switched him around with Rice in the system

dancoombs1mo ago

Soucek agree, always capable of popping up with a goal

shamanth.jayaram1mo ago

Fabianski was fabulous. Also liked Ogbonna for most of his time there. Coufal early on was very good too

dantowen819511mo ago

I was thinking Coufal! Just very very solid

charlesjones1mo ago

I always thought Kouyate was solid for both West Ham and palace

freddie1mo ago

Good shout!

dale.odonnell1mo ago

Don't forget Kevin Nolan.

antonymmartin841mo ago

Kevin Nolan for me. Absolutely brilliant for us.

chillout1mo ago

What was your view of Noble ?

jamie.theodosi1mo ago

Winston Reid. Mountain of a CB

dantowen819511mo ago

Some iconic goals too! The winner against man united on the Upton Park farewell and that volley vs Millwall

jordan.harris1mo ago

Fabianski has to be in the conversation I think. Julian Dicks was my favourite West Ham player growing up until Di Canio came along. Proper defender with an unbelievable left foot

chillout1mo ago

Tomkins and Soucek stand out for me - Noble wasn’t underrated at West Ham at all.

charlesjones1mo ago

Noble overrated if anything. People saying he should’ve been an England regular ffs

freddie1mo ago

Collins and Reid gotta be up there for their partnership! I also wanna say Ogbonna, thought he was great. And then in attack, big fan of Valencia 🔥

george.patten1mo ago

I was gonna say Reid. So underrated imo. Top centre half

jordan.harris1mo ago

Reid is a great shout
