Playing in teams that have struggled since 2016 doesn't help. I suppose.I think players in struggling club's often fail to win fan respect, I think fans tend to weight the winning aspect of a players history.
The two Roberts, Harvey and Flower, are nice examples. Rarely mentioned in the same breath as fan favourite greats but clearly as good as if not even better than most!
Maybe our own Ken Hunter falls in that category, but once prompted you won't get many fans from any team who actually observed his career question his place amongst the very very best!
PS; I forgot Diesel, better mentally append him to those lists, ................. not better than Dusty! :o
