Atkinson IMO is of a rare breed in the football world: a player who probably has more talent than he realises. Along with his insane work rate, he scored a handful of terrific and vital goals; the problem of course being he didn't get into those positions anywhere near often enough. He needed to be a bit braver.
Like Michael 'Princess Diana' Timlin, I wouldn't take Atko back now but like Ricey said, he was certainly underrated.
