Mrs Tayls thought he was divs. She got quite giddy when he was introduced to the crowd at halftime against Liverpool. Even from 50yds she could see he was a dish. She also used to holler for Ginola's introduction when he was a perpetual bench warmer. Silly old bat.

I loved that bloke. Despite huge and obvious competition, I'd go so far to say he's probably my favourite Villa striker.

By the time Lerner and O'Neill came in Angel was over 30 and had lost a step for this level, by the time we had started challenging for things he was long gone. It's often been thought during the Lerner/O'Neill regime that we was one top striker away from definitely breaking into that top 4 and beyond. If only Juan-Pablo Angel had been a few years younger when they did arrive in convinced we would have achieved the targets and things would be a lot different now. Angel in his prime in a good team would have been special.

When my son was working in New York he went to a Red Bulls game.  He started a one man "One Pablo Angel" chant.  JPA came to the touchline, pointed to my lad and saluted him.   Loved him to bits.

He didn't say our third. 😉

JPA - I loved him.

When did we go from players like Angel, Mellberg and Laursen absolutely loving the club to bits and clearly doing so long after they've left, to having a bunch of absolute wasters who couldn't give a toss?

Had some well publicised issues settling here and struggled at times, but he had a few spells when he was very good.  Had it all really, mobile, good in the air, could hold the ball up and scored goals.

I'm trying to think of another striker that almost always surgically put the ball in the corner of the net. Great skill and technique.

We've had better strikers but very few had that connection with the crowd JPA did probably due to the circumstances in which he was signed.

Mind you some of the threads we had about him on here in the early days. Very few players since that divided people like Angel did.

Nail on head Riss.  How did we go from JPA to Ireland and Gueye?
