Title: Loan Signings
Post by: FiveKenMcNaughts on October 10, 2012, 08:21:56 PM: Wondered if anyone could help me with something..

Can anyone confirm who Villa's first ever loan signing was?

I have a name who I think might be the answer, but I don't know how far I should be looking back and exactly when loan transfers started

I don't know if he was on loan but in trying to find that out I did find out he is currently the manager of Togo!

So we could be going back as far as that for ours too.

Stand corrected, then Dave.
I thought it was just a loan to help them out

Title: Re: Loan Signings
Post by: Damo70 on October 13, 2012, 05:02:39 PM: SGT loaned Andy Gray to Notts County at the start of our promotion season, then I think he went to Albion on loan for a short time before he signed for them permanently. The first player I remember us signing on loan was Didier Six, then I think Malcolm Allen was the next.

Post by: Damo70 on October 14, 2012, 01:47:17 PM: Was he a reserve keeper for Derby under Clough and then went on to be the Brighton keeper in the years they were in the top flight and the cup final?
