Quote from: KevinGage on October 01, 2017, 01:25:34 PMPlatt was/is an arse. But a great player for us. And incredible value, considering we signed him from Crewe for 50p and a bag of pork scratchings, and sold him for £5.5 million. Which could have bought you almost 5 Cantscorinos or two Gordon Duries back then.Don't get antiPlatt stuff. He was great for Villa.

the ‘Rolls Royce of a player’ is a good description of GBI loved him, i remember coming away from some games thinking just watching him was the only thing worth the entrance fee
