Gregory on Talksport now

[PaulTheVillan]

I'd love to ask him why he signed Bosko Balaban???

If Balaban scored when he went round the keeper at Southampton that day, it would have all been different.

I remember him coming on late during the home game with Man U in August that season. We were 1-0 up courtesy of Darius and doing ok - we even looked like getting them again on the break. Bosko was sent through for a one on one with their keeper and looked utterly inept, the ball bobbling around his feet, and you knew he would fuck up.

At that moment my heart sank, not just for the missed chance, but because I thought I had seen a man who was way out of his depth.

The worst transfer in the history of the Villa in my mind.

Ah Bosko , saw him on TV in Malaysia the other day , scoring a couple of Goals for a local side , the Commentator gave us an honourable mention as his most memorable (?!)  former Club  ...........................Godzvilla! .

[darren woolley]

Bosko was a shite player why did he sign him.

[PaulTheVillan]

Because before we signed him he was scoring a lot of goals else where.

[Phil from the upper holte]

And I reckon he had a back hander

Seriously though I don't mind Gregory I've met him a couple of times and he's a nice fellah

[not3bad]

Heh.  That story about Bosko walking up to Doug at the beginning of the season and saying "Do you remember me Mr Ellis", and Doug said "I'm hardly likely to forget you son, you cost me £6 million..."

this is the link to the interview you need to select 11:00 - 12:00   http://www.talksport.co.uk/radio/listen-again/episode/88882

[Mortimer's Bear]

I enjoyed those season's under JG, in the end he was just too far out of his depth.

[PeterWithesShin]

Balaban really was awful for us. My mate covered the reserves for local radio and even at that level he said Balaban looked out of his depth. 11 years ago we spent £6million and 20K a week on him. Almost makes Hutton and his wages look a bargain.

[silhillvilla]

Don't suppose he mentioned his dalliance with the SFO ?

[Mortimer's Bear]

Having not heard the interview, did he speak fondly of AVFC?

He always does, it's kind of his thing.

I work with a guy who's married to his daughter.
