Savo Milosevic poll

[Deano's Mullet]

I know we had a thread about him ages ago but i just wanted to see what fraction of fans did or didnt like him.

I think, option (d), could've been great. Admittedly the spitting wasn't very pleasant. Mind you, the Noses still love Dugarry. Then again, they're scum.

What would you have liked as option D?

Err... Could've been great. Admittedly the spitting wasn't very pleasant. Mind you, the Nos...

Maybe that's a bit long, better leave it as it is!

I loved Savo, he was one of my favourite players.

He was much better than he was given credit for, especially when you look at all our strikers since then. I mean Gabby's return in a season is along the same lines as Savo's

Class player and class gobber.

[Tom Stewart]

Always a big Savo fan.

He had me at the bandana.

[Richard C]

I liked Savo, but in his early days he didn't get called Misalot for nothing. He was guilty of some really bad misses, but i will always remember him for the wembly goal.

[SteveN]

Liked him, missed a lot of chances but was always in the right place to miss them.

[Chico Hamilton III]

His Villa career was perfectly cyclical.

Remember his first game when he tried to chuck his bandana into the Holte but he missed. Just like, at the end of his Villa days, when he tried to spit at Villa fans at Blackburn.......and missed. I was half way back to Blackburn station by that time.

I actually felt a tad sorry for him. My Savo memory is seeing him in the players' lounge after a game against Chelsea and all the Villa players totally ignoring him. He was like a lost sheep

Err, you DO know that MoN didn't sign him?

[TopDeck113]

Not quite the player we thought we'd bought, but was an integral part of that wonderful 95/96 team.

The spitting, whether actual 'at' the fans or not, was just a sad end. I prefer to remember another incident at Ewood Park - when he scored his first goal for the club at the Town End and then ran length of the pitch to celebrate in front of the Villa fans at the Darwen End.  That, and a certain long range effort against Leeds...

[Karlos96]

I liked him as have been mentioned his first goal for us at Blackburn, his goal at Wembley and another for me was his hattrick against Coventry which were his first goals at Villa Park.

I always thought he was never suited to our League I think it was too quick for him he looked far better when he played abroad.

You wished MON had re-signed him for £32 Million this summer, and will therefore add that to your list of never forgives!

That was a fantastic memory. We were quite near the front and after what seemed an age of celebrating Bozzie came over and grabbed him saying "Come along now, they've kicked off"..or something like that.

Hat trick at VP against Cov and THAT goal against Leeds.
