Best player youve seen playing against the villa at V P

[tony scott]

I remember being really impressed with Jimmy Greaves playing for spurs in the early 1960s

[Legion]

Steven Gerrard a few seasons ago.

[Legion]

Also Thierry Henry a while back.

[Colhint]

Edson Arantes di nascimento  was pretty awsome

[Deano's Mullet]

Lots come to mind

Mostovoi for Celta Vigo back in 1998, he ran the show.
David White for Man City in 1991 scoring all five in a 5-1 win

[The Man With A Stick]

Ruud Gullit wasn't too bad.

I remember seeing Dennis Tueart scoring a hat trick for Man City in a 5-1 thrashing at Villa Park. We actually played alright but he was just unplayable that day. Can't remember the decade-let alone the year-no memory cells left, probably late 70's.

[Villan For Life]

Michel Platini for Juve in the European Cup 1983. He ran the show. Pity he's such a knob now.

Cruyff!! playing for Barcelona in about 1977

[dave.woodhall]

Ruud Gullit wasn't too bad.

First time he played for Chelsea against us was the only time I've seen a player with so much presence it seemed ours were afraid to go near him, whether he had the ball or not. I'd forgotten that until you reminded me.

Cruyff!! playing for Barcelona in about 1977

Absolutely, best performance anywhere by a player that I have seen 'in the flesh'. He scored 2 goals to put Barca 2-0 up, was substituted & received the only standing ovation for an opposing player that I have witnessed and Alan Evans came on as a late substitute to inspire us to an undeserved 2-2 draw. In the return leg, we were 1-0 up, John Gidman got sent off when we were 1-0 up and we ended up losing 2-1 on the night. By the way, I think that you'll find it was 1978.

As I have mentioned in previous posts about greatest games / goals seen at VP, Cruyf's 2nd goal was probably the best goal I ever saw - Better then Maradonna's dribble through the England midfield and defenec in Mexico 1986.

Beelzebub for QPR.

I think we've done this thread before... or am I getting deja-vu?

[TaxDodger]

Robert Pires for Arsenal. 01/02.

[Dave Cooper please]

Cruyff for me, but he still wasn't as good as Brian Little.

[SteveN]

Another vote for Cruyff - the best player I have seen in the flesh anywhere by a considerable distance.
