I remember being in my usual bottom right Holte position against Ipswich thinking 'don't shoot from there' followed moments later by 'fucking hell!'Garry Parker is rarely mentioned these days but that has reminded me what a fine player he wasParker was one of my favourite Villa players from the '90s. scored some fantastic goals for us, but for some strange reason he's been forgotten about. It bugs me that average joes like Mellberg, Laursen and now Cueller are talked about as if they're "legends", when far better players like Parker barely get a mention.Garry Parker was a good player and is just one of a few from that team that don't get mentioned very often. Kevin Richardson was a real leader in the midfield and formed a good partnership with Parker. Ray Houghton was also a very good player who had real quality on the ball. I also really rated Earl Barrett and remember that Ryan Giggs used to say back then that he was his hardest opponent.

I remember watching a programme on Sky, about players that had played in the first season of the Premiership (when football was invented), and what they were up to now. Gary Parker was working as a painter and decorator. When you think of all the shit we've had down VP since then, that are now multi millionaires, who will never have to work another day in their lives, it makes you sick!
Wish Parker's second goal at Brammal lane was on there, I run on the pitch to celebrate with him I turn around and I'm on the edge of the area!! Would love to be able to show my missus and kids here in Canada. I bought a 92/93 season review vide off ebay but it won't play!! Fantastic season that was!!
Ok great thanks DM! Do you see me on it? It made motd that night

If I remember correctly, that incredible Dean Saunders volley against Ipswich wasn't even one of the goals you could vote for on Goal of the Month!
