Spotted Petrov, McGrath, Yorke, Given and Schmeichel. Not sure whether there are any other Villa/ex-Villa.

Keown, Southgate and David James so far.

John Dunn, John Terry and Trevor Brooking.
All better candidates for Barking than Ricardo Carvalho!
Bobby Moore's ended up at Upton Park, after all.

Mark Hughes has ended up in Grange Hill, though!
T Francis is at Gants Hill, next to a well dodgy nightclub.
John Charles has ended up in Upminster, the Sutton Coldfield of East London.

Was hoping for some imagination when it came to assigning somebody to Mudchute. Opportunity missed!
Rather a nice chap who played for Middlesborough.

Perhaps this has more er resonance for London dwellers?


No, probably not!



*going by the legend, possibly not John Dunn!

I like it, think it's a bit of good fun.

Can anybody spot the Bosko Balaban station? It must be there somewhere.

The German one is quite good. Elefant & Burg a particular favourite of mine

As a Graphic Designer I really like these sorts of things...when they're done well. However, it seems to perhaps be open to poor execution given a glaring omission such as Tony Barton, plus none of us really like London clubs (which of course will be in the majority) do we?

Anyone confused as to why this is done, well it's just sheer novelty and I'm sure there's probably a few quid to be made from it. Simple as that. If it were just Villa players combining some of our historically best players and those reared in the capital, it'd look okay on the toilet wall/mancave.
