VILLAMARV Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Just to be pedantic I believe @NurembergVillan was restricting his choices to the squad number era (so 1993 onwards). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted December 28, 2016 Author Moderator Share Posted December 28, 2016 Correct. Not many number 17s in the 80s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still well up when thinking about Big Ron's 92/93 team, and Garry Parker was the first name I ever had on the back of a shirt. His incisive passing was crucial to that team and, without getting into an Ashley Westwood debate, he was the epitome of what makes a team tick. BUT it's Christmas, and what would this time of the year be without angels? For a while we had our own. At times unstoppable, and at others frustrating but you can't help but wonder how he may have faired in some of the other Villa teams through the years who were better set up to serve his needs. For the number 8 shirt, there's only Juan Pablo Angel... Honourable mentions for Garry Parker, Mark Draper, Gavin McCann and James Milner. Dishonourable mentions for John Fashanu, Robert Pires and Jermaine Jenas. One of my favourite players, he could've be phenomenal in some of the Villa teams we had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a labour of love, but I enjoyed it. In some ways it was easier than the crap thread. We perhaps have had more crap players to pick from than great ones! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojong Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 This list made me realise: Denmark gave us Laursen, Sweden Mellberg, Norway Carew, and Finland (my home country)...Enckelman. Sorry guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
