Villa legends (for me anyway) in the last 5 years or so:- Martin Laursen- Olof Mellberg- Juan Puablo Angel- Gareth Barry (boo)- Gabby Agbonlahor- Brad Friedel- Stiliyan PetrovFor me, it's players who are both greatly talented, and clearly care a lot for the club. I know there is probably slight controversy over Gareth Barry, but for me he did so much for the club it's hard to exclude him, despite the manner of his departure.
QuoteGabby Agbonlahor wants to take another step towards a historic scoring record this weekend - and knock Dwight Yorke off top spot in the goal charts.Agbonlahor currently lies second in the all-time Villa Premier League chart with 51 goals, nine behind the Calypso King."Make that now seven. It would be great if we had on the Holte a 'counter' banner, showing the number of goals Gabby has scored until he breaks Yorke's record.

Imo a player, in order to become a Villa legend, must:- play for Villa for at least 4 seasons;- have a special talent;- show a special committment to the claret and blue shirt;- possibly win at least one major trophy;- have the capability to win the games by himself with a masterstroke or with a special performance when the rest of the team is having a poor performance. I'd say tha Gabby still is not a Villa legend but, yes, he can become it.
