Loan Signings
« on: October 10, 2012, 08:21:56 PM »
Wondered if anyone could help me with something..

Can anyone confirm who Villa's first ever loan signing was?

I have a name who I think might be the answer, but I don't know how far I should be looking back and exactly when loan transfers started

The 1st one I can remember was Carbone, pretty sure there was ones before that though.

Graham Moseley was in 1974. Any advances?

I think McAvennie was unattached and was on trial.

Was Didier Six a loan signing? If so I claim the prize for second oldest so far.

Sometime before 1974 ;)

I don't know if he was on loan but in trying to find that out I did find out he is currently the manager of Togo!

The first one I remember was Malcolm Allen who I think was with us very briefly in 87/88.

Most notable loan signing has to be the 5 seconds that the Albion loaned us Brendan Batson in 1981. Pure genius. Or sabotage. I don't think he ever got the credit he deserved for that back pass.

I know we loaned Stan Crowther to Man U after the Munich disaster.
So we could be going back as far as that for ours too.

Do wartime guest players count as loan signings?

Didn't we loan the Wolves keeper Evan Williams before Graham Moseley?
