Libor Kozák (confirmed post #190)

[Ron Manager]

Has anyone mentioned that Peter had a terrifically hard shot as well?  In the days when footballs were akin to cannonballs.  A hero in the true footballing sense, I genuinely feel sorry for the generations that never got to see him play.

I don't know why but, my memories of his goal scoring exploits are that the majority of his goals scored at Villa Park seemed to be scored at the Holte End.  I'm probably wrong but, that's how I remember it.

He did and so did Harry Burrows who followed him on the left wing. But the hardest shot of anyone belonged to Stan 'The Wham' Lynn who had a kick like a mule. I think he knocked the Cardiff City goal keeper out with one of his piledrivers.

McParland could play across the front line. He was by common consent the best winger we've had since Charlie Athersmith, a world-class international centre-forward for Northern Ireland and Danny Blanchflower regarded him as the best inside-forward in the world. He's also Villa through and through,  a truly great man in every sense.

I went to school with 2 of his nephews and one of them, Jimmy, was in my class. Looked just like him, too.

My Dad, also from N.I. was a massive fan and insisted on taking me to VP rather than The Sty for my first football league game (I grew up in Northfield) almost 47 years ago to the day. So I probably have the great man to thank for this life changing event.

Hang on, though, Pat Murphy reckons that Kozak is 'just a lamp-post'.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Who to believe?

If he played for WBA he'd be the second coming of Cyrille Regis in Murphy's mind.

Kozak's celebrations are absolutely world class.

Watch his face as he does them, he's having the time of his life.

He learned all his moves from look-alike French heart throb Jean Paul Belmodo:

One of the few upsides of our season following the pattern of last, is that from now till the end of the season Libor will absolutely tear the Premier League up.

My new favourite player.
