  • The World Cup of underrated Arsenal players
    Jun 23 2025

    Who is the most underrated player in Arsenal's recent history?


    Ian Stone is joined by Amy Lawrence, Adrian Clarke and James McNicholas for a special Handbrake Off, in which the panel attempt to pick the player who has done the most for the club with the least fanfare.


    Ian, Amy, Adrian, James and The Athletic’s Art de Roché gave producer Jay names of the Arsenal players they believe should be in the conversation. The only names they were aware of pre-recording were those they submitted individually. The players were drawn out of a hat in knockout competition style, going up against each other head to head being put to a vote each time.


    Listen to find out who the team crowned as their underrated champion, and let us know in the comments below who your choice would be.


    Produced by Jay Beale.
