Sulberto21 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 The King. The GOAT. IMO the best CB in the premier League era. You can keep your Tony Adam's and your John Terry's, Paul McGrath is the original Don Daddy defender. Epitome of what a lion is like hunting for meat. What a shirt btw.

Sulberto21 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Sir Stirling Moss and Gilles Villeneuve are the greatest drivers never to win the world championship. The villa team in the pic circa 30-31 has to be the greatest never to win the league title. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His continuing presence at the club is important in many ways and may well set the tone for the transfer window and next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think on this, it was a first division game and the attendance was 8,456. It's staggering to think now. . I can vividly remember this match. I was a young lad sat in the Trinity Road with my dad and brother. There was a bad atmosphere and Doug trundled out one of his mates comedian Dave Ismay to tell us all to get behind the team, he was roundly booed! It s not the main reason why I remember it though. I was stood by the tunnel as I always did to try and get a few autographs when the players had finished warming up.Then one of the staff members asked me if I wanted to fill in as a ball boy. Of course I said yes and spent the second half in front of the Holte End throwing the ball back to Peter Shilton, we also spent the half time break in a little room next to the Villa dressing room drinking hot tea and listening to (I think) Billy McNeil try to get a better performance out of a lack lustre Villa team. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the best threads on VT. There are some gems in there and you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend it, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
