You're probably right, I was a tad unfair, but just thinking back to that season illicits an irrational response. When Craig played in said position, his go-to move was to control the ball, swivel and hoof into the opposition half. I suspect it was the Butcher/Malpas masterplan, so I shouldn't lay it all at Craig's feet, but it was so painful to endure.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I wouldn't say he was underrated though. I think fans appreciated he was a good pro with some ability, just lacking the composure, vision and athleticism you see in the midfielders a good coaching/scouting setup has been able to attract to the club. A decent option for a more pragmatic, less pressurised environment like St Johnstone.

Colin nish, always judged on his height and lack of competitiveness in the air instead of his ability on the ball. A very neat player with the ball at his feet imo.

Nish was brilliantly described at the time as "floats effortlessly between genius and village idiot".

Craig hated it - lump it up the park and you get it in the neck from the fans but please Butcher and Malpas, get it down and play you get it in the neck from Butcher and Malpas.
Craig found himself captain as a result of being one of the few who did what the boss wanted, and suffered as a result.

I thought he was brilliant and he went on to win a European Cup with Aston Villa.

I really liked Paul Lovering.
Excellent left-back in our promotion side.
There were a few solid, under-rated players in that side - Derek Collins, Justin Skinner as well.

Graham Mitchell. Cost £30,000 from Hamilton and gave us a decade of solid defensive work, including a league cup win.

Mickael Antoine Curier. Liked him a lot, brought others into play and got a few goals. Missed an absolute sitter against (I think) ITC and then kind of tailed off from there.

Clayton Donaldson. Only played 18 games for us, but has gone on and done well at Champsionship/League 1 down south.
