Insignificant Villa players in history

[Damo70]

Warren Aspinall was an important part of our promotion team and his goals, particularly the one at home to Shrewsbury, were vital. Two less significant names from that season spring to mind though. David Hunt and Malcolm Allen. And a few years later, Alan Mcloughlin.

Michael Bradley
Bosko Balaban
Eirik Bakke
Mathieu Berson

And that's just the B's

[Chris Jameson]

Reminds me of a bloke I used to know called Andy Comyn who played 12 games for us in 1990. His first games was 3rd round of the FA Cup at home against Liverpool in front of 48,000. He got turned inside out by John Barnes at his best.

I'm sure he played in the 2-0 home win over Inter. I might have imagined that.

Breitkrutz, he looked a decent player whenever I saw him in the reserves. Forgotten the name of the other German player with the mullet and moustache, he was a striker.

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

Stefan Beinlich - he actually had a decent career and went on to play for the German national team.

Simon Dawkins, definitely Simon Dawkins.
Has he gone yet ?

I think you are right. Paul McGrath didn't play. If I remember right the official story was an injury, but rumours it wasn't as simple as that were confirmed in his book.

I always thought Berson looked quite a good player in his brief appearances, hopefully Sylla has broken the curse of French signings.

To be fair to the selection who started this thread off, Adrian Heath wasn't even our most insignificant signing that summer. Not all non league signings called Spink go on to play as many games as Nigel. Dean, first team appearances 0.

see, Dean Spink was irrelevant. Unheard of before and very much after. Adrian Heath was a relatively prominent player at the time, and did the sum total of nothing for us in a brief uneventful spell.

Neale Cooper - came down from Aberdeen as the next big thing.

Got injured, didn't play his first game until after Christmas. Played about 5 times for the team that got relegated and about another 3 at the start of the season in Second Division.

SGT sussed he was a waste of space and got rid.

Neale Cooper - came down from Aberdeen as the next big thing.

When I lived in Newcastle I went to watch our reserves against them and Cooper was playing, all I can remember about the game was an old bloke near me just constantly shouting 'I'm watching you Cooper, you dirty bastard'.

[montague]
