Do you think Pavlyuchenko was an underrated player at Spurs?
Yes
No
Super Pav, one of my favourite players, so underrated. And this goal ?

It was impossible not to love him wasn’t it, a proper rock ‘n’ roll footballer. Anyone who wakes up on a park bench after celebrating hard is a winner in my books ??

Pavlyuchenko was at Tottenham from the summer of 2008 until February 2012. He joined the club from Spartak Moscow for a fee of £15.66 million and left Spurs in 2012 to join Lokomotiv Moscow for a fee of £8.10 million (as per Transfermarkt).
During his time at the club, the Russian made 113 appearances in all competitions for Spurs. He found the back of the net 42 times and picked up ten assists as well (as per Transfermarkt).
Some other Spurs fans also had words of praise for their former striker.
Super Pav, loved him ?

A couple of Spurs fans believe that Pavlyuchenko was an underrated player at the club and the others have praise for him too.
The striker had a good record in European competitions for Spurs. In the Europa League season of the 2011/12 campaign, he scored two goals in six games. In the 2010/11 Champions League main season, he found the back of the net three times in six games for the Lilywhites (as per Transfermarkt).
Clearly, Pavlyuchenko had a pretty good goalscoring tally during his time at Tottenham and because of that, it is understandable why Spurs fans have a liking for him.
