Quote from: dave shelley on October 16, 2019, 09:27:41 AMThe last player that I can think of that played a full, entire career for us was Charlie Aitken. I don't count the twenty-one games he played for New York Cosmos as their league was in its infancy.What's Brian Little done to you?

Gary Shaw also played for other clubs.
Gabby played for both Wednesday and Watford on loan.

Didn't he make a very short comeback at some Austrian team.I can't remember their name, and can't be arsed to google, but *dons WW2 history buff hat* it was the site of a large ball bearing factory which was bombed a lot in the war.Which is a slightly random fact to recall

If McGinn leaves Villa aged 39 for some lower division, Scottish, MLS or Chinese team having helped us to seven straight European Cups, it won't be because Villa lack ambition. Amen.So are we ignoring Hibs and St Mirren or ignoring the "entire career" bit?

Lots of players don't see out their career at one club because their legs go and they have to play at a lower level. If McGinn leaves Villa aged 39 for some lower division, Scottish, MLS or Chinese team having helped us to seven straight European Cups, it won't be because Villa lack ambition.
