Our best winger

[peter w]

It's hard to comment on players you never saw play, but Peter McParland's record speaks for itself.

Well maybe it should shout a bit seeing as he's only got 2 votes.

[Flamingo Lane]

Anyone remember David Rudge?

I do. He was one of my favourite players when I was a kid. I don't really know why - he wasn't a regular was he?

I was at the game at Preston North End in either 1969 or 1970 when David Rudge broke his leg.

[Willie Anderson]

I voted for Morley, but I can't believe you left out the left wing maestro Willie Anderson.

Harry Burrows wasn't bad either

[SteveN]

Peter McP. he was a bit special.  Quick and brave and was just as good at centre forward.

Has to be Harry Burrows for me, Tony Morley and Tony Daley were both good but Burrows scored and made them

[Damo70]

It's hard to pick out one player from '80-'82 but for me Tony Morley was the ace in the pack. Just don't ask me about Ron Greenwood's decision to take Peter Barnes to Spain in '82 instead of him when I've had a few. Not unless you like listening to a full on rant where you can't interject because the other person doesn't pause for breath (and possibly spits on you a little bit too). I've also met him a couple of times and he's a great bloke. Tony that is, not Barnes!

Peter McParland was my first Villa hero, so it would have to be him for me.

Great to see Harry Burrows mentioned. He was in a similar mould to McParland - strong, forceful, with an eye for goal and a great shot. I don't think he got the recognition he deserved and was a big loss when he was sold. Never understood why we sold him, we certainly needed him at the time.

[Ray Graydon]

My dad's hero was Peter McParland who said he had never seen a winger as good in the air as him.

Ray Graydon was the first Villa player I ever met & scored quite a few goals for a winger but it has to be Tony Morley for me great dribbler scored some stunning goals for us & some vital ones too like the two away in Berlin & at home against Anderlecht. Also loved his reaction to the dugout when he scored.

He asked for a five quid a week rise.

Really? Greedy bastard!

I presume it must have been around the time that the maximum wage was abolished then.

TONY MORLEY He is my favourite attacking player for Aston Villa. If he is 32 and playing today he would be 100 caps England player.

When I was first getting into football, and I used to peg it around my grandparents' garden with my Villa football, my grandad used to call out 'who do you think you are, Tony Morley?' Says it all for me.

[adrenachrome]

Peter McParland was my dad's hero, and I went to school with his nephew who looked just like him and was a very good football player too.

Willie Anderson was the first winger hero I saw live, and there have been quite a few since. The one that sticks in my mind however, very surprisingly, was a portly and none too fast chap called Mike Ferguson, who we signed from Blackburn and had played for Accrington Stanley before they went bust.  He was the first Villa player I saw who could go past a defender with pure trickery. Shows how bad things were at the time.

Just after. His wife wanted a job where she didn't have to get the bus to work and the only one close enough to where they lived was less pay, so Harry asked for five quid a week extra to make up the difference.

Tony Morley best winger in my generation sure my dad would say Ray Graydon.

Tony Daley was the most exciting even if his end product was not always great. He did score some great goals, one against Luton in 89-90 season stands out when he ran length of the field and score almost from the bye line.
