i see Wrexham are top of the league in the blue sqaure, equal points with Gateshead, 8 games played 19 points taken,
would love him to do well,
when he did a bit of commentary work for a few Villa euro games he was good value, his views were incitefull as well as entertaining, i remember being a bit supprised but very impressed.
-
He always came across to me as being a likeable chap. Hope he does well .
-
I've met him once when he played for us top bloke hope he does well at Wrexham.
-
Pleased for him , i also found his analysis in commentary very good as with wilkins , and much better than listening to someone afraid to express their real opinion as many are.
Lets hope he returns wrexham to the football league, Deano was a great player for us and gave many memorable moments, also the only player ive seen to run mcgrath ragged one day at the old baseball ground.
-
Top bloke who worked his nuts off wherever he went.
Did a very good Tommy Cooper if memory serves.
Good luck fella.
-
As pro us as anyone you will find commentating about football in the media...
-
He's just been on Sky talking about the League Cup win. Just showing highlights now and they will be chatting to him again in a bit.
-
Just watching him now on SS
Very entertaining chap and seems a realy nice fella - hope he does as with all ex Villa pros
-
Could he be our manage in a decade time, after learning the rope in lower level.

I'd swap them now to be honest
-
A bloke who speaks about The Villa with pride, good luck to him
-
Listening to him commenting on a Villa game last season, good head on his shoulders, who knows how far he may go.........
-
Wrexham might not last the season. They no longer own their ground and are something like £1million in debt. Their Supporters Trust is trying to buy out the current owners but they can't yet guarantee they can raise enough cash to pay a £250,000 bond to the Football Conference to secure their ongoing place in the league.

I loved him as a player, loved it when he apeared on Zig n Zag one day before I had to leave for school, love the fact he loves Villa and wish him all the success in the world. If he decides the management lark isn't for him then a careeer in punditry definitely is, looks pretty natural in front of the camera and manages to string sentances together without resorting to cheap cliches. Also looks like he's always about to smile, like when he was playing for us. Top bloke.
-
Yes top bloke. So many good memories, but i will just pick out one.
Do you remember the goal when he and the oppo keeper chased a ball to the touchline. He had no teammate available so took the throw and bounced it off the retreating keepers back to play himself in to score.
Who was that against, is there any video footage or did I just dream it? :D
EDIT: it was for sheff utd, still class though-
-
It is a shame we doesn't have him a player. He would give us the energy lacking in our team. He give me a lot of buzz to watch. is he last exciting player we have upfront for a long time.

Did you miss Dwight Yorke, Paul Merson or Ashley Young?

Yeah, because the one thing that Gabby lacks is energy.
-
Just heard on 5 Live that Doncaster Rovers have put their manager on "gardening leave" and Deano is to take over the job.
-
Good luck to him, top man.
-
Bit of a surprise in the Yorkshire press about this but I believe Deano will do all right.
-
A true gent. My mom wrote a letter to Villa park years ago complaining i had not recieved anything from his fan club for a while. Two or three days after she sent it he called my direct at home. I couldn't believe it. He was so nice. We chatted for a fair while and he invited me into the changing rooms to meet the whole team before the Norwich match (think we lost 3-2). I have said on here before about it. The whole squad then were so nice, Ray Houghton and Dalian Atkinson were really funny guys and Nigel Spink walking round with nothing on will always haunt me. Any way, a top player, a top guy and really wish him well. Football just aint the same any more.
-
My all-time Villa hero.
-
Deano sounding like David Brent:
-
Nice to see he got off to a good start yesterday and gave Donny their first win. Maybe a future Villa manager
-
Merson is a playmaker not striker. Yorke is good but prefer Deano and Agbonlahor exciting - ha ha ha
-
Deano sounding like David Brent:
Haha! He really does!
