I would say that you "unearth" a player when you take him when he's relatively unknown, certainly not setting the world on fire, and suddenly people think "bloody hell, that bloke's pretty good" and he turns out to be worthy of a much higher profile
So by that standard I'd say we "unearthed" Francis, Edworthy, Leon, Svenny, Saffers and Ebooboo. There's even an argument for saying we unearthed Deano, since although he was a very high profile Chumps player no-one else was prepared to take the chance on him making the transition and no-one else was prepared to pay £3m for him!
