really sad as mentioned not greatest player we had but was underrated due to his tremendous shot. Thought O'Leary management of him was poor especially when I think he might have wanted to stay at Villa.

never really mentioned but his through pass for Lahm goal in Euro 2008 semi final was brilliant at such a crucial time in game

I'm sure o Leary was trying to get rid of him, he never put him in the starting 11 in 2004/5, then when he signed that deal for stutgard he started playing him.

Was never a fan tbh, hit the odd screamer here and there but the fans desire to see more of that meant we wasted an awful lot of possession whilst he put one over the bar with great regularity, he also went missing a bit with his defensive duties.

But he was a bit of a Villa Cult hero for the accent and the odd decent strike so he'll always be remembered for that and I wish him well in the future and it is kinda sad when players retire early but I'm sure he's made enough money in his time.
