Title: The biggest prick to be associated with The Villa
Post by: gervilla on August 13, 2010, 10:36:22 PM

To start off I will offer 3 suggestions.
(A) David "pig face" O' Leary
(B) Robert Hopkins.
(3)Mr "I Have Maradonnas shirt and have a book out.
Can any one top them ?

Racist Peter Schmeichel who played well enough to, arguably, cost us the title in 1993. Then proceded to be utterly shit for us.

Has to be Pigface.

We've had worse managers results-wise.

And in two out of his three seasons we were in contention for Europe, despite having little to spend.

But for the "Aston Villa last got to a cup final in 1980 or something" remark he should have been chased out long before the players statement and subsequent fallout. Such utter contempt.

Someone like Hopkins would be delighted to make this list.  He'd see it as the culmination of his lifes work.

So as he never really made the first team on any regualr basis, i'll just dismiss him as a prick as oppossed to a Prick with Villa associations.

Can't see any further than DOL as the winner. Never really seen anybody anywhere, media, fans etc say anything nice about him as a bloke, player or manager.

I misread that first time round and I thought you said that you nutted him.

In which case his response would be understandable.

Just occured to me, its nothing personal against the guy but I think Enkleman deserves a dishourable mention.
I am still embarrassed, hurt, pained, incredulous, disbelieving, staggered, etc about THAT incident in THAT game.
If he was going to make a complete and utter prick of himself while wearing our shirt, why couldnt he do it against somebody like wigan or bolton ?

OK not necessarily a prick from a playing perspective but a prick of the highest order in his private life and in his minimal  career since he left the Villa.

 He's a prick because he had so much natural talent he could easily have been one of the greatest keepers of all time. A bit like Collymore,again so much talent gone to waste eventually.

Post by: OzVilla on October 10, 2010, 10:17:43 AM
Bossie is also a prick for a comment as a pundit on Aussie TV a while before a Chelsea v Man Utd game.

So then Mark, which of your former Clubs do you still follow?

MB, ''Oh Chelsea, as I enjoyed my time there and liked the area''.  What a cnut.

It's a though he played 227 games for Chelsea and not the Villa (He actually played 7 games for Chelsea in the League Cup). He barely mentions his Man Utd career at all.

And the idiot Aussie TV presenter knows so little about football that they never pick him up on it.

Of course he could have said, "Villa, whose fans mercilessly ripped me apart for 90 minutes when I went back with Manchester United, calling me every name under the sun and even singing a song about me cumming all over Dwight Yorke's arse."

I think he might bear a grudge!

He is a bit of a cock on fox sports, but I far prefer him and Slater to the MOTD twats in the UK. I just remember him as being a very good goalkeeper for us in a decent side at a relatively successful period. I was watching when he made those chelsea comments and know what you mean though.

For me though, it has to be that Pug-nosed cvnt O'Leary. How he managed to land the job in the first place is beyond me. You would've thought Ellis would have him sussed out after getting his fingers burnt before with the likes of Turner and McNeill
