Micah Richards and Charlie Insomnia need inclusion in there somewhere. Taylor is a bit harsh. Can’t put Richards and Lescott together. Sylla had a good spell with us 2012/13, his performance helped our run towards the end. Same goes with Charles. I though Taylor would be harsh but I’m limited in terms of nationalities.

kurtsimonw Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 GK - Bosnich (Australia) RB - Delaney (Wales) CB - Mellberg (Sweden) CB - Laursen (Denmark) LB - Bouma (Netherlands) RM - Solano (Peru) CM - Petrov (Bulgaria) CM - Barry (England) LM - Ginola (France) ST - Angel (Colombia) ST - Benteke(Belgium) We're preobably one of the easier teams to do it for. We've had a lot of decent players/big names from a wide variety of countries. I did a Milan one on twitter. Considering the only players that've succeeded there come from Italy, Brazil and Netherlands (with a couple of exceptions), it was a bit more difficult!

Enda Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Completely breaking the rules, but: Given Staunton McGrath Dunne Stevens Whelan Houghton Townsend Grealish Keane Cascarino (had to shoe-horn Staunton into a right back, and Grealish has played more internationals in green than white.) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 the alternative might be easier Enckelman Beye Herd Lescott Luna Nzogbia Salifou Bacuna Tonev Balaban Helenius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the only players that've succeeded there come from Italy, Brazil and Netherlands (with a couple of exceptions), it was a bit more difficult! Well, now it's interesting to know how many nationalities we had in terms of players in the Premier League era. Compared to other teams? England, Scotland, Wales, N.Ireland, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Bulgaria, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Netherlands, Belgium, Czech, Austria, Congo, DR Congo, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Togo, Cameron, Mali, Tanzania, Benin, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Egypt, Morocco, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, USA, Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Australia. That's from what I can remember. 40 nationalities. More than what I expected to be honest, I'm sure there is more which I can't remember. Just remembered before posting: Croatia, Switzerland , Montenegro (But Sarkic yet to play a game for the first team), Curacao (which Bacuna plays for), Portugal. So here 45 nations which represented Aston Villa, I'm sure there is still more. Will try and find a stat for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Maybe you meant Zambia for one of the Zimbabwes (Emment Kwapengwe and Fred Mwali). There is also an Argentinian Oscar Arce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman22 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I'm going to do this in my own era, I wasn't born when we won the European cup so can't really talk about those players! Friedal (USA) Delaney (WAL) McGrath (ROI) Laursen (DEN) Bouma (NET) Grealish (ENG) Petrov (BUL) McGinn (SCO) Yorke(T&T) Benteke (BEL) Angel (COL) Might have gone a little attack minded!! Hard not to have Milner or Barry in there, Young too. I think the best left back I can remember was Steve Staunton but you can't leave God out! I Alan Wright was a top right back but I can't leave Jack out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he played there a lot but he was always a CB in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
