Most overrrated has to be Charlie George's v Liverpool in 1971 - just a boot from well inside the D, and nowhere near the corner, yet they show it time and time again.
Most underrated has to be McKenzie's brilliant volley into the top corner for Man City v Spurs in the '81 replay.
You hardly ever see it due to a certain other goal from the same game.

Bobby Stokes in 1976, yet they show it time and time again - He was offside!!!

Got to agree with the Steve MacKenzie one (still playing for WBA old boys btw!)
However most underrated has to be Jeff Astle in 1968.
I was only 2,so don't remember it "live", but for 20 years after his goal hit the back of the net there remained a hole in the ceiling of our living room.
It was made by my old mans fist as he jumped for joy!
Refused to repair it in honour of "The King".
It was still there when they moved out....I wonder if its still there? :-)

Nice one - that was the first cup final I saw on TV!
I did a similar thing down the local by punching one of the beams when England's fifth went in against Germany in 2001. The mark was there for a couple of years before they redecorated.
I can also recall destroying my room in delight after Sammy McIlroy equalised against Arsenal in the '79 cup final.
