handsworthvilla Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Just based purely on players that I idolised rather than any coherent system - Bosnich Solano - Mellberg - Laursen - Wright Carbone - Ian Taylor - Merson - Grealish JPA - Milosevic The front 6 is basically a list of the players who I've had on the back of my shirts over the years - minus Dion !

Bosnich Barret-Mcgrath-Teale-staunton Atkinson-Richardson-Townsend-Daley Fenton Saunders But I did love other players as well like: Ehiogu, Draper, Yorke, Milosovic, Barry, Milner, Taylor, Joachim, Tommy Johnson, Wright, Dublin, Merson, sure there is more just can't think at this moment. I would say Southgate, but I wonder why no one ever really says him in threads like this, maybe it's because he's England manager and being a tool with our Jacky Boy has something to do with it lol. Will never forgive Southgate for the way he left , club captain wanted to win things ended up at Boro!! At least Barry left to win things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Rimmer, Gidman, Paul the Dub, Alun Evan's, Colin Gibson, Sid, Jack, Mortimer, Little, Gray, Walters. Aside from Jack, I haven't seen a more naturally skilled, player in Villa colours than Mark Walters, and just like Jack, he came through the ranks. Gidman was the best right back I've seen at Villa and we've had some good ens. He had this great step over that fooled many a player. All the rest speak for themselves.

R.Bear Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) I'm gonna do the best players for Villa in each position, not "folk heroes" or personal favorites. Bosnich Delaney - Laursen - McGrath - Wright Young - Grealish - Merson - Barry Yorke - Benteke Edited March 24, 2020 by R.Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friedel/Schmeichel/Heaton maybe? No idea. Mellberg - Laursen - UDLC - Delaney- Wright Petrov - Milner - Merson Carew JPA Honourable mentions to Grealish, Taylor and Bouma. Barry deserves no mention. A CB at RB, a RB at CB and De la Cruz was a completely useless waste of space. Once of our worst PL era players who played a significant amount of games. Also I can only assume the people including Schmeichel are either too young to remember or are just picking him on reputation as he was utterly shite for us after the first 10 games, at fault for a stack of goals.

Can only guess you never read what this thread is about. Read more, reply less. And it's pretty obvious I just listed the players, not put them at the right positions.

Yeah I don’t get the Nilis love i mean good player but unfortunately no fault of his own hardly played a game. I remember how sad I was though with that break and my best mate at school was obsessed with the picture of his leg bent which made me feel sick. Also don’t get the love for Wilfed Bouma, again good player but horrible injury means he never hit very high heights with us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would’ve loved to see more of Nilis than unfortunately what we got. Merse I loved watching weekly. Subs would include Bozzie, Barry and I was a big fan of Dean Saunders....Deano scores and we want some more.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
