AstonMartin82 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Petrov may play before the season is over Who knows he's in remission and has a strong character id love to see him in a villa shirt again I reckon if we've wrapped the title up with a couple of games to go we'll see him make an honorary appearance! Be great to see him in a Villa shirt again even if it is just for 5 minutes. I wouldn't miss that reaction from the crowd for the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted September 5, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'm no expert on Leukemia but from what I've read I can't see Petrov playing again. He's probably in the squad for sentimental value as he's still our squad captain. Would be nice if once he's better, we have a testimonial match for him to which he can take a penalty or something? Would be amazing to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiggyrichard Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Is he about to announce his retirement from the game MM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David-Copenhagen Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 When he is finally cured, there is a big risk that he will have side effects of the treatment. Chemotherapy is poison for the body. I don't think there is any chance for him to get back to playing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Final five minutes of the last home game of the season I reckon for Petrov. Words could not describe the awesomeness of that moment, if it ever happened... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYSTERYMAN Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Is he about to announce his retirement from the game MM? No think once his contract runs out he will announce his retirement . We are insured very sad all round but as the previous poster has said not a chance he will play again but he will live . That has to be the most important thing . As a professional few equals maybe Barry and Milner but a real genuine love for the club even prior to his illness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SikhInTrinity Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 MM, could there be a possibility of a testimonial, would be awesome to have a packed out VP against Celtic. When does his contract finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanBalaban Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Just checked his contract is up at the end of this campaign. Petrov as a person and a player is an inspiration to the younger players and role model to many. I would hope that there will always be a position for him at the club if he wanted one.

When does his contract finish? I think there will be nothing announced on a testimonial for a while but yes Villa / Celtic is the obvious one and under consideration . I went to the Rangers game in 76 and think they just have to be tad careful about the fixture probably not the right thing to say in the context of what we are talking about here though .

Mantis Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Nobody's expecting Petrov to play competitively for us this season, but surely there's a chance of him making a last minute cameo in the last home game the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I would hope that there will always be a position for him at the club if he wanted one. I'm sure there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefan Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 There's a Sid Jnr? Please can someone answer the important question? Yes, definatly a Sid junior called Henry. About 17 & Plays centre mid and by all accounts a very good player. One for the future. If he's half as good as his dad he'll walk straight into our team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one_ian_taylor Posted September 7, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 7, 2012 Petrov not number 19?? Edit: Never mind. D'oh. It's alphabeticalistic, innit? Yup, I was about to post my shock about Guzan being number 10. THen I managed to save a modicum of embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted September 7, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 7, 2012 Seeing as how Hutton is frozen out anyway, I think he should have been omitted, thus causing Stan to be no. 19 alphabetically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
