I have absolutely no recollection of Tony Dorigo or Graeme Souness being at Torino at some stage in their careers. I do remember Dorigo leaving for Chelsea when we got relegated only for Chelsea to get relegated whilst Villa got promoted.

I think I remember him for being Leeds as much as us. Much less so Rangers.

He was the first player I remember being absolutely gutted to see go.

He was a cracking player. Fast as f#ck and great at coming forward. Was genuinely gutted when he left.

I was genuinely gutted, too -that someone who had helped to get us relegated wasn't bothered about helping us to get back up!
