Happy Birthday Macca, legend!

Big Happy Brithday to captain Kev. We would be just fine with him in the centre of the park now....

I echo what has been said about the big man, also, with regard to Ricco, i'd just like to say-sing......
When Ricco went up to lift the league cup
We were there
We were there

The greatest Villa player i've ever seen.
At his height for us, i'd say he was probably the best centre half in the world (with Baresi).

Well, Baresi thought so, so that should be good enough for anyone.

I still prefer Laursen, (not old enough to have seen much of McGrath) but happy Birthday Paul!

Larsen was good but God is great. Surely with such a young squad there would be value in asking him in to talk to the defenders about how he played and read the game.

Laursen was good, as was Mellberg. Southgate was also class IMO, but none of them come close to McGrath.

Sadly you can't teach the talent possessed by the blessed one. Happy birthday Paul. You are my number two all time Villa great behind Sir Brian.
