And this guy we all hoped was the second coming, but he failed also...

EDIT: Not still playing, but managing so still involved.

I always tried to check up on Juve when Mellberg was there. Think he's at Olympiacos now? Dwight Yorke did ok when he left us too. Which i was quite happy about because he was my favourite player growing up.
50 apps 7 goals. Which compares well to 7 from 232 for us. Good old Olof

I didn't even realise he'd played for the first team! 5 times apparently.

I didn't know JJ was in Hannibal. Does he easily out-pace Lecter but then ruin all his good work by making the wrong decision and getting eaten?

Kevin Poole is still with Burton - on the bench for them on Saturday at the age of 48!

I imagine he's the Football League's oldest registered player - and I remember watching him play for the Villa youth team... help!

I wonder what the African Pele is up to these days. He liked the LC games against lower league clubs.

I myself am wondering what's happened to the Togolese Zidane, not my words but the words of that Gobshite Adebayor. Oh, and Curcic? where's he these days?

Peter Enkleman is at St. Johnstone, giving away and then saving a penalty yesterday.

I heard Robert Olenik (sp) name on Soccer Saturday on Saturday. Think he was playing in League 2.

And as we;re on a goalkeeping theme here, I wonder what ever happened to Adam 'rabbit' Rachel?

Adam Rachel was at Solihull Moors, on the bench, last season. I saw him in the clubhouse after they lost to then-Brian Little's Gainsborough Trinity.

Actually, maybe a good challenge would be... what's the lowest division we can find a former Villa player in?

Can anyone beat Stefan Moore of St Neots Town in the United Counties League?

Is that our Luke Moore at AFC Wimbledon ? Could be a warning to the Fonz if it is.

Not as much of a warning as Stefan Moore, currently plying his trade at St Neots Town.

Its also a warning for all of the promising youngsters we have.

Stefan and Luke were big prospects.
