Stan Staunton was better than Wrightie, but I wouldn't have him in our all time top 26 players. Wright better than Laursen and Mellberg to name but 2, no way.

Has anyone contacted the club just to check whether this is just the top 50 players but in no order.

It has to be surely.

I liked him. Not 27th best ever player liked but I thought he was decent enough.

Looking forward to seeing where Steve Stone, Alan Thompson and George Boateng feature in the top 26, maybe 1,2 and 3?

I'd love to know what criteria they're using to decide these placings.  I've stopped getting wound up by it now and can't wait to see what further delights await us.

If they had entitled the theme "50 players we have randomly pulled out of a hat" it would be a lot easier to fathom.

Fortunately the get-out for Villa's Fab 50 editors lies in the  meaning of the word  Fab or fabulous as it used to be known. My dictionary interprets the word as meaning barely credible, astonishing, mythical. like a fable etc. and meaning no disrespect to any on the list, one or two are astonishing.

I agree Legion. It is comical.

I hear Heskey has stumbled into the top 20.
