Savo

[placeforparks]

do you remember when he first signed and he would throw a bandana into the holte at kick off?

it was like something from the wrestling.

[MorrisNielson]

At the time, I thought the bandana seemed okay.
Now, it looks more like Wee Willie Winkie

He was excellent with the ball at his feet.

Yes he was. I liked Savo and that goal at Wembley....Sitting  in the far Villa end right in line when he let fly I knew it was a goal.

Blotted his copy book by spitting at his own clubs fans

That's it and the incident and your position on Savo even turned Villa fans against each other in following games home and away.

His first goal away to Blackburn was celebrated by me with polite applause, as I was sitting in the Blackburn end at the time - mind you it was bloody obvious who I supported as I was in my Villa top. Good banter during the game and at half time having a beer, as it ended 1-1 didn't have a problem getting out peacefully with "good insults" being thrown back and forth. Wearing the "other colours" was only possible due to being with a bunch of local supporters as I lived round the corner near to the hospital. Happy days.

We talked about this a few months ago, but throughout the nineties you could do that a lot easier than you can now. Away fans were generally tolerated in home areas, but now it's the personification of evil.

I can remember sitting in the Coventry home seats at Highfield Road in the late eighties when there was a fine line trodden between banter and nastiness between my mates and I and the blokes behind us. We got some complimentary tickets from Greg Downs although I'm still not sure quite how. Basically our mate seemed to know a bloke at work who knew another bloke who knew a woman who knew another woman who knew a bloke who cut his second cousins' postman's lawn or something like that.

My dear MiL always kept a picture of Savo and I on top of her sideboard.

It was taken at BH on Kit Sponsors' Day 1997 right after Stan Collymore had been signed.

[IAmTheOneIanOlney]

Didn't he try and throw his bandana into the Holte just prior to his debut in the Man Utd game and it kept getting caught in the wind and blowing back to him?

I was also at the sponsors day. My dad sponsored Steve Staunton.

Boom boom boom,
Let me hear you say Savo...
Savohhhh!!!

[adrenachrome]

His hold up play was extremely effective and often overlooked. He was one of those players who would become more stubborn the more they were kicked.

[Oscar Arce]

He only wore the 'bandana' in one game, I recall?
Sublime skill, good hold up play, very technically gifted and great goal at Wembley,but will always be remembered for the gobbing at his own fans.
Brian Little signed him without seeing him actually play, only on video.
Some things you just can't forgive, I'm afraid he, Alpay and Steve Hodge sit in the 'rogues' area for me.
