Dwight Yorke when we were about to sell him to Man City. Was proved right on that occasion.

Always thought Bryan Small, David Hughes, Mark Blake and Paul Brown would be big stars. Any season now...

Dublin? Parker? Barry? Can't ever remember them being slated much by Villa fans (Barry's last season accepted).

I stuck with Lee Hendrie and Luke Moore like a battered wife.

Luke Moore is another one of mine (Thankfully posts as old as those of mine saying 'Luke Moore will be our 20 goal a season man, Luke Moore will play for England... have long since disappeared).

Shaun Maloney
Patrick Berger
Wayne Routledge (I kept saying he should get more of a chance.)

Barry I agree with, but then I didn't list him.

The others were all slated, it all depends who you hung out with then.  Of course now in the internet days everyone gets to see everyone's opinion.
