I love this fella. We can wax about whether he was a great footballer or not, and yes he had limitations, but how rare is it in the modern age for a footballer who wasn't even treated that well here by a number of managers to still come out the other side showing gratitude and love to the club and the fans? You rarely get it even from the players who owe a great deal to Aston Villa for where they are now / where they finished their careers.

Clearly a man with a lot of heart and a great attitude, and if we had more like him we'd be much more stable.

Anyway - thank you Alan. May you have a long and happy retirement. Hope we bump into each other around VP some time so I can thank you in person.

I echo the above.

Good stuff.  The way he fought back from the bomb squad and consistently forced his way back into the team under a number of managers is what I admire most.  100% every single game.

A Villa legend, always gave 100%, his goal against Blues is something I'll never forget.

Thanks Alan and happy retirement

Just watched the Alan Hutton interview on Claret & Blue podcast
A great watch, it was so illuminating to hear about the managers he played under, including Lambert and his time in the bomb squad.
He clearly loves the Villa

Yes, definitely one of the ex-players that 'gets us'.

Liked him for his unwavering commitment to the cause. The goal against the Blues was the icing on the cake.

He said when he scored the goal he knew he was going straight into the Holte to go crazy

For a fair few years he was pretty much universally battered by us on here, has any other player turned around their reputation to that degree? Battered for so long and then liked for years as well.

The interview is well worth a listen.

He comes across very well, I thought, and I felt embarrassed at how abysmally the club treated him for a while.

That is a really good interview. I found the Smith era especially intriguing - kind of detected there's no great affection there. Maybe it's because he's still cut up about the way he retired?

Really enjoyed it.

I grew to like Hutton as his Villa career slowly progressed.

Interesting to hear that Bruce seemed like the pick of the bunch for Hutton, manager - wise.

Lambert - what a cock he was/is
