Sir Brian

[dave.woodhall]

Whether he is or not, I don't think he will ever have such a place in the club's psyche as Brian does.

Sir Brian please.

I do wonder if Paul McGrath will be remembered so fondly thirty-odd years after he retired.

remembered? yes... as fondly as Sir Brian of Little? never.

[Percy McCarthy]

I think it depends how old you are.

Don't underestimate the effect of six or seven years of consistent, truly world-class performances (while pissed and sans training) on a generation of supporters who never saw Brian play.

Little to choose between Sid, Brian and God for me. I love 'em all the same.

[scoobydoobydont]

 Brian and God for me.

isn't that 2/3rds of the holy trinity though....

McGrath is worshipped, Little is loved. There's the difference.

refreshing point of view....

Always the little villain for me. The greatest.

Brian and God for me.

Brian, Macca and of course the holy father Ron Saunders... That is who we worship as true believers.

Having watched sir Brian curl a shot past Ray Clemence to make it 5-1 to us against Lplop then a few years later watch God back heel a clearance 50 yards back up the pitch whilst running towards our goal Iwouldn't like to choose.What i can say is I hope God is smiling very favourably on our current number 19 in the greatest battle any of them will ever fight.

Paul McGrath is without doubt best player ive seen down Villa but in a world where heroes are fast becoming non exsistent I feel it sad that a few throwaway comments would alter peoples opinion of Sir Brian..

BL was the living legend when i 1st started going down VP, and he is up there.........but he is no Paul McGrath in my eyes.Not only the best Villa player i have ever seen, but also the best defender i have ever seen.

  BLs, flowing locks, undoubted skills, brilliant performances do allow him forgiveness for sats commentary, it was just very disappointing to be so pro an opponent of AVFC

he wasnt though

this thread has pissed me off, people are looking for spooks where there are none.
Doubting Brian Littles affection for the club is just ridiculous.
He still walks on water.

My thoughts exactly Hawkeye.
