Jose Mourinho and Alex Ferguson
Hate to say it but would you put Alan Pardew in this category? Or would he be Okay Player / Okay Manager?0 -

Dowie wasnt rubbish as a Player... After all he was a Premier League Striker with West Hamdizzee said:Iain Dowie

Tony Pulis: third and fourth divisions as a player from what I remember.0

Thats a difficult one though as was he a rubbish player or was he a good player at his level?LenGlover said:Tony Pulis: third and fourth divisions as a player from what I remember.
You could say that Keith Peacock was a rubbish player because he never played in the top flight for us (?) yet spent his whole career around the Second / Third Division1 -
Arsene Wenger mostly played only in amateur leagues.0

Lucky he got in their first team. Have that professor.0

Pardew wasn't a rubbish player, FA Cup finalist, and scored many goals for us. Dowie was an international and played in the top flight
To me it would be people like Lennie, Mourinho, Wenger who had no or little professional playing career
Ferguson had a decent but unfulfilled playing career, a bit like Curbishley, where they probably felt they never achieved their full potential. I imagine this drove them on as managers1 -
Ferguson & Morinho are the 2 that stand out. Hodgson also. Possibly Klopp, although I think he played in the German top division?0
-
Brendan Rodgers, depending on your view of him as a manager.1
-
Joachim Low was a bit of a second division journeyman but he's won himself a World Cup as manager1
-
Fergie rubbish as a player?
I know that it was only Scotland but he did manage to score 171 goals in 317 appearances including 25 in 41 for Rangers as well as 45 in 51 for Dunfermiline in one season when he was top scorer in the Scottish League.

On a similar line, who would we consider to be a great player and a great manager? Pep?0

Simeone too, not being managing for the longest time but achieved a lot so far.0

Surely it's not down to what league he is in but how well he plays in his league. Some element of consistency in form surely makes someone a great player even if its in a lower league?ForeverAddickted said:

Kevin Foley.
Will be next Charlton managed and lead us to promotion this season.0 -
Alan Curbishley - I thought he was a really shite player.0

Surely 'rubbish' player is a relative term though?ForeverAddickted said:

I wouldn't mind betting that Kent League players are 'good' compared to most of us on here for example!
Pulis has spent around 10 years managing 2,3,4 tiers above the level he played at.
Sir Keith Peacock never did that. His managerial career as MANAGER (rather than assistant manager as he was under Curbs) was spent at or below the level he played at.1 -

However his managerial careers is dubious. Never seems to stay anywhere for more than 2 seasons.0 -
Really? He didn't just play almost 300 games in the League for Bournemouth but also was an England U21 International.ashley said:Eddie Howe
Wish I'd been that "rubbish".1 -
And his career got cut short through injury.Addick Addict said:
