agree he was bloody unlucky

but he never produced at the top level (for whatever reasons) and we'll never know if he ever could have done (I have my doubts having seen a lot of him but I happily concede I can't be certain). So he must rank below those players who proved they could cut it with the best - being on a rough par with Steve Guppy (who did go to Celtic with O'Neill and who Eadie replaced fairly ineffectively at Foxes) doesn't really qualify.
