I didn't particularly applaud him for it but I didn't particularly knock it for him either.I do wonder what our perception of Grealish on this regard will be like once he goes?

I have always thought we had the best of Ashley, he tormented defences and his crossing and spot kicks were spot on. I believe the amount of rough treatment handed out to him took it's toll and his game dropped off and he started looking for the free kick. Great career though.
One of the villa legends by all accounts.And most premier league appearances ever ! Cheers Gareth Barry. Wonder if he'll get into coaching and management think he has the footy intelligence to do well.
One less ex-Villa player still playing. Gareth Barry has just announced his retirement.
