Ian Olney


This is unforgiveable USAV! The guy was complete and utter garbage, it still annoys me now that he got picked and it's been probably 20 yrs. I must let it lie some day. He did score in a draw at Anfield though I think so I can give him 1/10 for trying...and boy was he very trying. Even his hair annoyed me and he had a massive beak but that wasn't his fault I suppose. He'd lope around looking gormless then lay a pass off or something and look so pleased with himself he was about to burst. I used to yearn to start a song 'If Olney plays for Villa so can I' but never had the guts. The players got complimentary Austin Rovers around this time, it suited him to a tee. I'm sure he's a lovely guy but dear me, as a footballer he made Ian Ormondroyd look world class. I'd envisage him working in Currys in the white goods department these days or maybe a librarian, anyone know?

Last I heard, Olney was working for the PFA's Finance Dept with Des Bremner.

Crouchy is another one I wish we had kept, the game at leicester when we won 5-0 stands out but then DOL thought he was garbage, kinda sums him up as our manager!

Ray Houghton came in for a lot of stick at times, not so much 92-93 but the following season and a half - but i always thought he put in a decent shift.

Ulises De La Cruz.  Not so much for his footballing abilities, but I thought him noble for the work he did for his village.  I had a shirt with his name on it and at an away game at Bolton, a Villa fan shouted at me "Why do you have HIM on your shirt"?

Savo
Joachim (nearly got into a fight in the Upper Holte one year with some big fat cock who was constantly slagging him off from the warm up onwards, think it was against Blackburn the year after they won the league, we won 2-0 and JJ scored)*
Wright
Heskey (at times it felt as though I was the only one on here defending him)

*It's not big and it's not clever, but nothing fucks me off more than slating a player, especially before they are even on the pitch. Unless that player is called scumbag piece of shit co££ymore. At full time though, they are fair game if they've been shit!

Allan Evans when he first moved down, I remember him scoring at Anfield in a 3-3 draw in the 80's I think.

I always liked Gavin McCann. At the time, I thought he was great. At the time.

When did Vaclav Drobny play for us, I seem to remember him being a lanky streak of piss and not too bad!

Ken McNaught. Wasn't too popular amongst some fans when he first arrived due to replacing the legend that was Chris Nicholl.
