The pants down incident killed his confidence and ruined him seriously though forget your £60 Abraham’s form Chelsea’s bench I would Kevin Keegan style love it if we signed some kid from some god foresaken league in Europe for £1m and he he’s better than haaland...

I remember us being linked with Watkins for quite a while but I’m sure the other 4 came out the blue. I reckon the summer could be similar. we've always been excellent at keeping our cards close to our chest. wesley was another that was totally out of the blue, as was most of our business that summer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing beats the buzz of a foreign journalist you’ve never heard of with a blue tick linking a player to your club. It’s what I imagine Crack feels likes. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading the article over and over and got so excited that we had signed some superstar foreign exotic enigma player!, i miss those days lol!

I remember his first preseason game as well at West Brom and Bozzie told him to lift hands above his head and face us, all the Villa fans, and we all cheered like school girls at a boy band concert. I remember his girlfriend was super hot as well, wasn’t she a top model or something over there. The good old days of exotic foreign players, now they are ten a penny. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Ah yes, the bandana. He wore one once because of a head injury before he signed for us. Then the next thing we know they're in the club shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am convinced that we never even used to watch these people play football before parting with our funds! Kozak is the one the gets me. I’m sure we just happened to notice that he had scored a few goals in Europe and thought that a sound basis for investing. What we failed to notice was the fact that he had the speed of a three legged sloth, the touch of a demented rhinoceros and the structural integrity of a dry leaf!

Can't remember the details but I think it was the final nail in the coffin of his Villa career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Savo along with the spectacular girl friend in Sainsbury’s once. The Sainsbury’s in Sutton was the darkest supermarket in history but Savo still had his aviators on. I was suitably impressed! No bandana though! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off topic but I was a VP blazer boy security guard at the time and was lucky enough to do the door to the players' lounge. Savo's girlfriend (now his wife) is called Vesna and yes she was a model. One time she rocked up in a crisp white blouse top tied at the waist and smart tight jeans. A simple combination but she looked a million bucks. She was also naturally pretty too. I used to pop in to the lounge a few times just to gawp at her. Funniest time was Mark Bosnich - who, it appeared took Savo under his wing - was sitting with Savo, Vesna and Bosnich's current squeeze who totally looked like mutton dressed as lamb sat next to Vesna. She knew it as well, judging by the sour look on her face, not saying a word and occasionally giving Vesna filthy but envious glances !
