Popular Post sidcow Posted August 15, 2016 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) Just rewatching the whole of his goal v Wimbledon on YouTube (have to watch his goals montage for some reason to catch all of it) the goal has so much skill and awareness about it, however I love the very start of it with a sublime bit of control under pressure from a ball looping up over his shoulder. People will have you think that current players invented skill and technique eclipsing players who went before but I can't think of anyone else we have had in the last 5 years who could pull a ball out of the sky and make it that effortless. A truly great player. However we have to be a little careful of our criticism of the police here without knowing the facts. Dalian was always a troubled individual and I am sure they don't just pull out the tazer for no good reason, let's wait for the facts before criticising people who do a very difficult job.

I have a suitable black folding number. Will raise it in salute tonight looking at a clear sky for some shooting stars in the perseid meteor showers whilst sipping a cold beer in my 94 final shirt.

Ikantcpell Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Will always remember his goal at wembley as one of the best villa goals ever. What a sad way to go aswell and way to young. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Grown man has shed a few tears here. Match, Shoot and 90minutes meant my bedroom wall was a shrine to Dalian and Deano back in the day. Such a pointless way to go. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Just gutting news. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) I would not have been an Aston Villa fan without Dalian Atkinson. No joke, very few people have had a more defining influence on my life and identity than him. Sad, sad news.

claretman Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I will treasure the memory of the 92/93 season-what a team. I remember being at Hillsborough when he scored two absolute crackers; the second one nearly broke the net-right in front of the Villa fans. Thanks for the memories Dalian.
