He certainly made the most of his limited ability but the Championship was his level, which is why he spent most of his career there.

Whatever his ability he gave his all in a Villa shirt, I wish him and his family all the very best.

I always thought Baker was a decent defender, especially when it came to the last ditch stuff, but incredibly fragile physically.

It's sad that his career has ended this way, but better safe than sorry.

Yes, Sam, he did come over as a bit fragile, which is almost laughable when you remember how he used to tear into tackles with no fear whatsoever.
