What always confuses them is when you say "We let your best-ever player go."

Brian Little? I think he failed the medical there though...

Nope. Guess again.

Gil Merrick? Heard rumours his dad was a Villa fan so he could have had a trial with us I suppose. Otherwise...  Stan Lynn, Charlie Athersmith err... don't know.

Joe Bradford. Their top scorer for 12 seasons. 7 goals in 12 England caps. We had him before they signed him.

Excellent. I'll get my bluenosed relatives with that one. I may even tell them the answer.
