This might shock a few people but I'd take Bosnich!

There are compelling arguments for McGrath or Laursen, but I'd take Mark Bosnich in his prime to replace Brad.

Tony Daley for me, he would be a revelation in todays pace obsessed game where right/left backs can't defend.

What a great question. Undoubtedly it would be the King - Sir Brian Little;

or Sid, or God, or Dennis Mortimer, or Andy Gray, or Yorkie, or Alex Cropley, or Jimmy Rimmer, or Gary Shaw (without any injuries, what a player he would have been).

Never saw him play, but from youtube and talking to Villa fans and from this very site: Brian Little.

Bruce Rioch - we would have someone with a more than decent chance of scoring from outside the area, no arguing about who would take free kicks around the area and a bit of nasty in midfield.

Honourable mentions to McParland, Yorke, Cowans, McGrath, Little and Sleeuwenhoek.

Sadly I never saw him play either but all my family loved him and he was a hero in our house, my nan God rest her soul had a picture of him on her wall and she never went to any Villa games.
