A solid unspectacular player who loved the club and a very good penalty taker.
Probably a 6 but i'm bumping him to a 7 just for the 2 outstanding performances in the 95 cup semi and final when Klinsman and hughes barely got a kick

I re-watched the 4-1 Spurs semi a month or so ago and got to say he was brilliant.
Re: Rate the Toffee - #3 David Unsworth
It was between a 6 and a 7 for me and I went 7 based on his first few years with us, the performances in the cup run and because he could take a pen.
From memory he was a CB and a better CB who played LB in a Lescott style do a job. Think he even played midfield a few times. As a CB I remember him being really solid alongside Watson.

He was one of my first favourite players. Mega blue. Gotta love it.

Gets a 7 from me. Anything less would just seem a bit harsh.
Re: Rate the Toffee - #3 David Unsworth
Really liked him, especially when he would pick up the ball from defence and just charge forward. Had all the tools but for some reason was a good rather than great defender. A 6 but that's no detriment to him really. Was very consistent.

Was wavering between a 6 and a 7 but the ability to take a pen on top of solid defending gets him a 7.
*Actually, having realised so quickly what a fucking shit hole Aston Villa is, and leaving without playing for them is worth a few more. I can't find 11 on the poll lads sorry.

In a world full of adversity, we must still dare to dream.

The fact he fucked off that bellend John Gregory gets him an 8 alone.
Was gutted when he went to Villa, but the change of heart was glorious.
