Alan Hutton the Scottish Cafu Retires

[DeeBoy1]

Don’t think we ever replaced him! Most recent, dependable RB we’ve had...which is shocking. Oh, apart from Habib Beye obviously...

7 years 11 months isn't 8 years is it

I had it as Taylor until we had Delaney. My other wrong first thought was Ollie but he was here 7.

You need to check your workings.  Wright's last game for us was on 22 March 2003.

Either way it was still Delaney. So we were both wrong.

Alan Hutton is more concrete than Ron.
I expect him back next week.

When he was fit he was very good. Sadly suffered with too many injuries, and really not helped by the assault of a challenge by Bocanegra.

I think Hutton may find out next week his Villa career is over. Shame it will end this way.

He’s definitely played his last game for us, you could see it on his face as he limped off. Thanks for the memories, Alan.

You what, mate?

I think he means Hutton was visibly upset knowing that the injury was likely serious enough to mean he won't play for us again.

I posted a long time ago that when Alan Hutton leaves he goes with my utmost respect.  His shortcomings as a footballer are well documented here but his professionalism and the manner in which he conducted himself are, in my opinion unquestionable.  I'm quite saddened actually that his Villa career has been ended by injury if indeed that is the case.  He deserved to play in the last home game to be given a final round of applause as a thank you by those that wished it.  Thanks Alan, I'll always remember you as a Villa man.

Yes, he was visibly upset when he went off, he probably realised that it wasn't just a knock and could signal the end of his career at Villa.

Pleased that he got a good reception from the fans as he was limping along the touchline.

[mr underhill]

he'll be back for Norwich even if he's on crutches.

Hutton won't technically be 8 years either, signed on August 31st 2011 so wasn't here for full 11-12 season.

Your rules though PWS....(winky).

I was going to write this, and then I saw this. Perfect.

Sweated blood for us when so many other players over the years never even sweated.

Everyone will remember the SHA goal, I'll certainly remember the two games against Boro where he nullified their main threat for 180 minutes whilst playing out of position.
