Players that turned out to be better than expected

Hey, willing to admit I read the title wrong but Giles was highly rated when he signed for Manchester United from Stella maris (hated playing against them as a kid, we always lost double figures.) Henry was seen as a potential world beater before he went to juve so it wasn't that much of a surprise how he turned out, Strachan had already been fantastic and the fact he was brilliant for Leeds after being kicked out of man United for drinking culture was also great but the surprise was his longevity.

I like your opinions and again sorry for disagreeing, I think I have read the question differently from you but I love that football gives us this chance to debate our opinions.
