Caught about half an hour of an ITV4 programme last night called Football Mavericks, focusing on the flair players of (from what I saw) the '70s, like Tony Currie, Stan Bowles, Rodney Marsh, Frank Worthington, etc... As it was just a bit before my time, got me wondering:A) What memories any of you have of those players when they came to Villa ParkB) Should there have been any Villa players on there? (Little, Hamilton?)
The only one i remember is Stan Bowles. The only thing I remember about it is the Holte serenading him to the tune of Clementine "Where's your wife gone Stanley Bowles."
I remember a band in the 90's having a picture of a player called Robin Friday on one of their album covers. A bit of a character to say the least!Edit - see he's already been mentioned!

None of those players mentioned could tie the laces of George Best.
