If i had to pick 4 then Martinez Mings McGinn and Grealish would have to be in the conversation. i dont think we have had a "hall of fame" player in the last 20+ years tbh. Barry copped off for Money bags City. Agbonlahor is a total joker who made a mockery of the club in his last few years. Grealish wasnt here for "that long" and also copped out for money bags city. McGinn.....urm....nope. Martinez?, maybe if he stays with us for the rest of his career and we achieve something with him? as i say, i honestly dont think we have had a player worthy of hall of fame status for a long, looooong time.

Agree with this. McGinn, Mings and Martinez could all be part of it if they stay in the first team, sharing captain duties, and we win something over the next 2/3 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GarethRDR Posted May 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2023 Out of curiosity I went to the OS page for the Hall Of Fame. That I got the following is possibly the most Aston Villa thing I've ever seen: 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa 59 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Charlie Aitken should be the first on the list IMO....no one will ever have the same number of club appearances as him! True Villa legend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) Call me old fashioned but anybody, including J Grealish, who departs our club prematurely does not deserve to even be in a Hall of Fame conversation. For most of our history we were a top 5 club and would still be if so many hadn't jumped at the first chance over the past 15-20 years.

No offence to James Chester who served us well, but we would be setting the bar low there in my opinion. Agreed. He actually played more games for us than what I remembered though.

Powehi Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Yeah out of the current crop, Watkins and Martinez have the best chance of making it - if they don't jump ship. Have to agree with the comment further up that that should lead to an automatic disqualification: not out of spite so much as the criteria for the Hall of Fame should be pretty stringent.

Technically inept. Couldn’t hit a barn door with a shovel imo .If this guy made our hall of fame, we should all pack up and go home. Remember the season we went down? No thanks - I’d rather have sticks in there over Gobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
