dunno if this one counts

Mark Walters

Walters joined Coventry Preparatory School as a Saturday morning football coach for the four- to 11 year–olds in February 2003; he then became a member of staff in January 2006, coaching years three to eight and is also head coach of the under-14s at Aston Villa's academy. Walters is also heavily involved with groups aiming to eliminate racism in football. Walters went back to school and obtained teaching qualifications. He is Head of Languages at Aston Villa's academy. His close friend Torben Piechnik teaches science.
 
Although now retired, Walters still plays in the Sky Sports masters football competitions for Rangers

Actually, maybe a good challenge would be... what's the lowest division we can find a former Villa player in?

Can anyone beat Stefan Moore of St Neots Town in the United Counties League?
How about a player's brother? Charisma Agbonlahor plays for Aston in the Midland Combination division two - step eight of the pyramid.
And also plays Gaelic football.



Surely you jest.

Possible, if he's an Erdington lad.

I heard (and I don't know how true this is) that Spink turned out for one of the local Gaelic sides once.

I’m sure I heard it mentioned that he turned out a few times for Castle Vale Jaguars in the Sutton Premier division last season.

I'm pretty sure that Andy Marfell (the "Forest of Dean Figo"?) was playing in the Welsh League a few years ago.

I'm not sure where he is now

Here's a report from an U21 game between Villa and Wrexham in 2001  in which Andy played

Ah, Stephen Cooke.  Whatever happened to him?

Wikipedia - he's at Pelsall Villa.

A lot of players playing in leagues like the Midland Combination and the West Midlands League also turn out for Sunday league clubs, I've known some who will play for a Birmingham AFA club on Saturday morning as well.

Hitz played in that game too - can't believe it was 10 years ago that he was at Villa.

You have to wonder why he's doing it.  It can't be for love of the game; if he loved it that much surely he'd have tried harder when he was at a top club.  Would he be semi-pro at that level?  I wonder what else he does.

He was earning a living driving taxis a couple of years ago.

That was a few years ago! He played for Kypros if memory serves me correct.  Didn't Sid Cowans' brother player for us as well back in the day?
