Why not Aitken brown arce hole
I am old enough to have seen him play.We had a team sheet then that included "Brown, Arce, Hole" Looks like we may be heading that way again.
Yep, he joined as an amateur and actually was better than his brother.Oscar was 'allegedly' an Argentinian Under 23 International (although his CV seemed a little 'creative') who was engaged to a Scottish girl he met whilst she was on a gap year in Argentina, he came over to the UK with her and was running an antique shop in Glasgow when he thought he'd 'try his luck' and write to Villa.He had'nt played for two years, was unfit, but could juggle a ball like a circus act, but was hailed as a hero without really doing anything of note, and was bound to fail, his first game a 2-0 defeat at non-league Bedford Town culminated in him being sent off for spitting at an 'over-zealous' opponent, eager to kick lumps out of this skilful foreigner.He scored a swerving free kick in a Central League game but after just seven reserve appearances and one goal he suffered a knee injury and was carried off to hospital to have an operation and that was the end of Oscar.His brother, Hector Fullone, was younger, fitter and more attuned to robust challenges, he scored a few goals for the reserves and played more games, but they both returned to relative obscurity back in Argentina when Tommy Docherty arrved at the club.Interestingly, Luis 'Oscar' Fullone Arce became a respected coach, mainly in Africa, and coached until quite recently.And the infamous half - back line of Brown, Arce, Hole never actually played together !

Was that at the same time as Mwila and Kapengwe too? Did you ever see them play - they were really exotic names to me as a nipper and I so wanted them to be good, in an era where the other Midlands teams were a division above us
