TrentVilla 24,027 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Paul 'God' McGrath. Any time I meet a Villa fan not old enough to have appreciated the genius of the man, not to have witnessed his grace or marvel at his reading of the game I can't help but pity them. There have been other greats but only one God and that man wore the number 5 and could turn water into wine but even that couldn't stop him being the best player I've ever seen in our colours.

briny_ear 5,801 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Is this about ex players STILL PLAYING or ex players from the history books? Anyway, none. Never go back. Link to post Share on other sites

villanfromluton 1 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 For present players, would love James Milner back in the central midfield position he excels. Getting so much stick for England, but works his socks off for the team in the right midfield position, a la Des Bremner Link to post Share on other sites

Getting so much stick for England, but works his socks off for the team in the right midfield position, a la Des Bremner Pity he put money first villanfromluton. He will claim he has a medal now but he is and was always going to be a bit player up there. Our wage structure does not match his wage so he will not be coming back until they no longer want him and nobody else will pay him a fair bit more than we would and the same applies to Barry although he is getting games with them. But, briny-ear is right we should never go back unless we can clone some of our past players. :winkold: Link to post Share on other sites
