Have to disagree, maybe not the greatest but far from the worst right back we've had I liked Gary Charles maybe because I wasnt that old and we were winning games and he was good going forward If watched when older I might have a different opinion and im sure he a better right back than Cuellar, NRC or Habib Beye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodytom Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 We've surely had better number 11s than gabby? Since squad numbers were introduced in 93/94 our number 11 shirt has been worn by: Tony Daley (1993/94) Andy Townsend (1994-96) Stan Collymore (1997/98) Alan Thompson (1998-2000) Steve Staunton (2000-03) Nobby Solano (2003-05) James Milner (2005/06) Stan Petrov (2006/07 - he changed to number 19 the following season, Ridgewell was number 19 in 2006/07) Gabby Agbonlahor (2007-2015) Would put all them bar Thompson above gabby.

John Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) This is all about opinions and every one of us know who we prefer. Those of us that have been watching Villa for a very long time have a wider range of players to choose from. Charles would not have been my choice but he was a contender I was also spoilt by having seen John Gidman grace the Villa Park turf what a player!

John Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Unless Gabby starts the tactics truck is no way he is worse than Townsend, dont care how good he was as a player Different types of players and we all have our own opinions but Townsend was a very good player and that has to be taken into account!

dAVe80 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Townsend captained the side to a League Cup win, and was man of the match in that final. He's one of the best midfielder we've had in the Prem era for me. Gary Charles was probably the weak link in that side for me. Not a great player by any means. I'd not slag him off, as he wasn't awful, but we've certainly had many a better right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrytini Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Hadnt spotted this thread till now, what a nice pleasant, non argumentative read ! For me it is ; 1. Rimmer 2. Gidman 3. Aitken (my first autograph !) 4. Evans 5. Mcgrath 6. Mortimer 7. Bremner 8. Little 9. Gray 10 Cowans 11.Morley Subs ; Bruce Rioch , Leighton Phillips (who I thought was pretty crap at first but grew into a brilliant sweeper style central defender IMO), David Platt, Gary Shaw, Chico Hamilton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 No Gary Shaw in anybody's team, surprised by that, been given his short career. Very underrated iMO One of the best players.....not to be caught in possession Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Referrring to my self doubts above, Little definitely was better than any these days. Edit....better not go there else Ill just end up relisting them all again. Change that to Little was the most exciting.
