Popular Post rodders0223 Posted May 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) His last full 90 for Villa. This just summed him up. Absolute warrior. Mentally, everything a footballer should be. Edited May 31, 2019 by rodders0223 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 Mile all the best buddy. You have been a absolute trojan warrior for us. Never complained just got on with it.

blunther Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Seems a great bloke. We're letting some good characters go. I know they haven't got a place in the Premier League now at their age but it's still a little sad. End of an era I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakefieldVillan Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Gutted to see Big Jed go, but I think it is probably for the best now given he will be 35 next season. Isn't the most gifted footballer (understatement) but what he lacked footballing wise, he more than made up with his aerial dominance, strength and passion. Chuffed to bits that he is leaving on a high and wish him all the best in the future whatever that may entail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 His last 2 games I saw was him scoring a cracking penalty but nothing compares to him playing a lone striker role vs Leeds 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Maybe the only player I've ever seen win his own 2nd ball in the air Vs long ball teams he served a purpose, same as Whelan, depending on who we played he could be a very useful player, shame Bruce moved him to CB and almost tainted him here, another who did his job got us up and we can now let go happy to wave him off thankful for what he did And that stare after his baggies penalty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Loved in a tight game when we were in front by one goal - and then he comes on as sub to bring home the bacon - and he always did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue that's a bit incongruous, what with the Trojans more famously being known for letting things slip fatally past them with ease and whatnot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meregreen Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 We needed some tough men when we found ourselves in the Championship. We found a man of granite in you. Thanks big man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Class act, and I'll never forget how he stepped up and smashed such a crucial penalty into the back of the net at West Brom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4 lads released I think Villa fans would struggle to think of bad word about them. Not most talented but all 4 had an impact on and off the pitch Easy to forget how rotten this club was in summer 2016 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted June 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2019 Watching him clean out a crowded penalty area for an aerial ball when defending a one-nil lead - and no I'm not thinking of any one particular match, I feel like I saw it dozens of times - was a joy to behold. Others have said it before, but in 2016 we desperately needed good characters. It's right that they're all finished now, but no one could say anything against the character of Elphick, Adomah and Jedi, and that's one thing we did get right that summer. Good men all, and absolutely wish him the best in the rest of his career (which I suspect might be longer than some might predict). 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
