He seems like a top lad and a model professional. Some thought he was just about 'that' goal, but most saw his potential for what it was. Has any ex-Villa player ever gone on to win honours like this (Yorke is the only one who comes to mind).

I'm sure I've asked this question before, but given he did score an own goal, is he the only Premier League striker to have more own goals than goals?

It might not have been a 'proper' own goal, think the ball might have just bounced off him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never understood why we let him go as he always impressed for me when he played and considering some of squad players we had over the years he would have been useful nice to see he has had a good career for himself 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villaphan04 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Wasn't sure where to put this, but this seems like a very good step for the club to make. I wonder how many other clubs have something similar to this already in place? Quote Aston Villa are eager to establish a Former Players Club. For that reason, we are appealing to anyone who has played for our first team in the past to get in touch. The purpose of the club will be to ensure: Players maintain a relationship with Aston Villa beyond their playing career Players have somewhere to turn in times of trouble Players can continue to play a part in helping the club achieve our aims and ambitions We are also looking for former players, with support from us, to play a key role in running the club on behalf of its members. Chief Executive Keith Wyness said: “This football club is steeped in history and heritage and players always speak warmly about their time with us. “We’re appealing for anyone who has worn the claret and blue shirt in the first team to get in touch as we look to create a club run by the members… for the members.” https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/2017/03/02/appeal-to-former-players 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this club needs to do a lot more to help solidify a real bond between players past, present and fans. Would love to see more former players involved in any way or just around the place. I think it would help new players buy into the club a lot more too to see you can build a home here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Quote Pedro Caixinha has banished Harry Forrester from Rangers’ training ground and warned the Englishman there’s little point in him ever coming back. Record Sport can reveal Forrester was told to pack his kitbag moments after a workout with Caixinha’s new-look squad on Sunday and ordered to stay away from the Auchenhowie complex for the next two weeks. And before leaving the stunned 26-year-old midfielder was advised to make the most of his spare time by using it to find another club. We first revealed last month how Forrester had already fallen foul of hardline disciplinarian Caixinha. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rangers-boss-pedro-caixinha-gets-10619268 Was always rumours around when he was here that he was a bad egg. Good thing for him is he will probably outlast Caixinha and get back in. The lad had talent but 26 and his career is almost already behind him.
