Heskey or Cascarino?

Cascarino by a long way,he made Garry Penrice look world class.

Sorry Can't agree that Tony Hateley was anything other than an overpriced carthorse.   Not for nothing did we dub him Douglas Bader.   Great in the air, useless on the ground. 

I recall as if it were yesterday the wave of incredulity that we managed to sell him for the same price as we paid for him.

His goals per game ratio at villa was very good and would suggest you are well wide of the mark- heskey does well to hit the bottom tier of whatever stand is behind the goal hes aiming at.

So wrong, yet so funny.

1. Emile Heskey
2. Bosko Balaban
3. John Fashanu

Cascarino is the only one who actually stopped us from winning something imo.

His only saving grace was that we had a decent chant for him - despite the fact that he wasn't actually that good in the air.  I can think of one bullet header on his debut away at Derby and that's it.

[Duncan Shaw]

Cascarino by a country mile.  We would have won the league if we had bought no-one instead of him!  The story goes that SGT asked Doug to buy Sheringham and he came back with Cascarino!

[Greg N'Ash]

I don't think Cascarino is even in the same class as Heskey. The stats speak for themseves 11 goals in 46 apps is pretty average but compared to 9 in 79 its prolific. Likewise longevity. Cas was here for a brief period, but Ivanhoe has stunk out the place under 4 managers. Cascarino we got 1.1m from Celtic for - a figure we could only dream about getting for Heskey

 Heskey is possibly the worse Villa forward of all time, and deserves his place in the hall of fame rather than mere pretenders like Cascarino.

Can we update the list when journeyman Keane arrives?

[Pete3206]

Spot on.

Thats the spirit, get behind the lads rather than waiting to slag off new players -how depressing, at least let him fail before putting the boot in!

[El Hurricane]

Imagine your at a party,everythings going great,you've had a few drinks,the women are loving you,your witty and stylish you are the man,really there is no ingredient needed to make this party any better,then in walks Tony Cascarino.......

[Greg N'Ash]

Although i think Keane is shite, it would take a miracle for him to surpass Ivanhoe in 2 months. No-one's that bad.

[nigel]

We signed Cascarino, should have signed his partner too. A certain Sheringham

While Heskey has severe technical limitations, he's always worked hard for whichever team he's played for.

Cascarino was equally useless technically without being as mobile as Heskey. He also cost £1.5m - a lot of money at the time, upset the balance of the team (Ian Olney had been playing very well at centre forward without scoring a lot of goals and was very unlucky to be dropped), and ultimately cost us the league title that season.
