MWARLEY2 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Was bored and this then came into my head. I have done it just from memory so probably missing loads but here goes. Anyone else got a better team ? 1. Spink 2. Lichaj ? 3. JLloyd Samuel 4. Gary Cahill 5. Ciaran/ kieran/ keenan Clark Clarke 6. Gareth Barry 7. Lee Hendrie 8. Jacob Ramsey 9. Gary Shaw 10. Jack Grealish 11. Tony Daley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Full backs John Gidman Colin Gibson Gary Williams 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Id say Mark Walters > toney Daley J Ramsey takes Hendies spot and Brian Little then gets Ramseys place. Does John Dehan get a place if he had fullfilled his potential and at the Villa ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Mark Walters was better than Daley. Sid Cowans was better than everybody! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwi1890 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Players I’ve seen play durning my lifetime, I appreciate that Cowans , Shaw and Little would walk into this team. Keepers terrible but I can’t think of another home grown Keeper other than Michael Oakes. Boaz Myhil Cahill Ugo Baker Albrighton S Davis Barry Hendrie Daley Yorke Grealish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think you can include Gareth Barry in that list though, technically. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted November 26, 2022 Moderator Share Posted November 26, 2022 Can we include Ugo or Gareth Barry? We need some rules on homegrown! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need some rules on homegrown! i guess the easiest rule would be: played for one of our youth teams, at any level, for any length of time, prior to making a full senior debut. ?

KentVillan Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Too young to have watched him play, but surely Brian Little is a nailed on starter? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 As much as his career nosedived, I’d probably include a prime Gabby in the squad, if not the starting XI. He was much more dangerous at his peak than Albrighton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Will just do one from the Premier League era mainly. Light in defence but a top midfield Oakes Clark Cahill Baker Davis Barry Hitzlsperger Albrighton Ramsey Grealish Weimann If Barry or/and Hitz dont count then replace with Hendrie and maybe Bannan Weimann is in because I think he never got a chance as a 9 here and has had a good few seasons in Championship while Mr Aston Villa is now retired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) Bit soon to put Ramsey in there, I wont pick a team but some of the best youngsters were Gidman who I think came from the Liverpool academy, Little, Williams, Gibson, Shaw, Daley, Walters, Cowans Cahill, Deehan and Frank Pimblett Edited November 26, 2022 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likeable character with a great attitude, but he’s an Andre Green type, and Gabby gets in ahead of him any day of the week if we’re doing PL era. Anyway, Dwight Yorke played youth football here so surely he gets the nod if that’s how we’re deciding it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
