Players who went on to prove the doubters wrong

I remember when we signed Gary Speed RIP from Everton he was really poor for a good few games at the start and he got some boos. Played on the left from what I remember, switched into the middle and bang!

I too thought that about Gary Speed to begin with but it wasn't long until I appreciated his game. Same went for David Batty when he was a Leeds. I cringed at first when we signed him but he quickly became a crowd favourite.
