I have a feeling that's Charlie Athersmith, strong claimant to the title greatest Villa player of all, who also played for Small Heath.

So let's look at the CV of Aston Villa Football Club.Since 1884 we have had 32 managers.Only nine of the 32 have won a meaningful trophy.Between those nine they they won a total of 24 trophies.One of the nine, George Ramsay won twelve of those trophies. 6 League Championships and 6 FA Cups.So the other eight won a grand total of twelve trophies between them.Now I can't see any top class manager looking at that and thinking "oh yes I'll have some of that".Yes, in our eyes we are a great and proud club. But prospective managers probably look at our past record in terms of winning things and don't see our record as being very inspiring and probably wonder if they would be better off going elsewhere.And before you all jump on me and accuse me of running the club down. I'm not. I'm just trying to point out we are where we are and we have to accept it.They'd find only 3 clubs with more trophies and one of those hasn't won the big one. All-Time Honours Table - Clicky Edit: and from that same link, this is what a good season's trophy haul looks like,,,If McLeish can scoop up that little lot he might get a few on side. Specially that shield, it's the dog bollocks is that.I'm sure that guy second from the left front row is Des Bremner's grandad.Were they doing Movember?

Regarding the £2m compensation that sky have been reporting we have agreed to pay blues- has this been confirmed anywhere else as I haven't seen or heard it mentioned elsewhere and blues are still reportedly taking legal advice?
