I'm still reeling from Brian Little being at number 25. Steve Staunton was better? Really? Little is up  there with the McGrath's of the Villa world. throw in  the odd  Devey, Athersmith, Bache etc if you will, but number 25?

My Grandad was always banging on about Stan Lynn. I struggle to think of anyone who was ever so popular with both sets of fans. Charlie Athersmith maybe?

Dave... what was Sims' nickname? From your post I'm assuming it is something that would now be considered hugely offensive.

I bet Stan The Man makes the top 10.

Think of his first name, and especially the first four letters.

So who will be the rest of the top 10 then? I can think of the following who haven't  appeared yet. Hampton, Withe, Walker, Cowans, God, Athersmith, Devey, McParland, Mortimer, Pongo, Barson, James Cowan, Hunter, Spencer.

Unless i've missed something or miscounted, I make it that at least 4 of these aren't better than Alan Wright according to Villa.

I think the list is just Post-WW2 players so discount most of them.

I fully expect Ashley Young, Ian Taylor and Dwight Yorke to be the top three.

I've given up being surprised by this.
