It's often said that there is no room for sentimentality in football, but after putting up with the very worst in our history to see a player who genuinely cares about the badge on his shirt would be a blessed relief. Good luck to you Stan.Spot on.However unlikely, wouldn't it be wonderful to see him in a Villa shirt again.A true professional, gentleman & warrior, unlike most of our current squad.

It would be great just to have him involved with the club again.Sorry Monty, for possibly the first time I have to disagree with your post. Cancer of any form is too insidious to fuck about with. I accept your point about him knowing his own health but, imo it's too risky. I'm not saying he should let it dictate fully how he lives his life but, why, at that age; would you even consider it?Years ago, a friend who had been given the all-clear from cancer decided to play indoor football. He got a knock and the cancer returned and the medical professionals attributed it directly to the knock he'd received, he died. Maybe this has stuck with me and clouded my judgement.
He knows his own health better than anyone, and if he thinks he could get back I'd like to see us give him a chance. It would be great just to have him involved with the club again.
And after some gentle convincing, he finally has his son’s approval!“Last night I was reading a book and told him about today and what I was going to be announcing,” Petrov said.“He replied: ‘Daddy who are you going to play for?’ “I said ‘I would like to play for Villa again’.“He turned around and said: ‘have you seen Villa playing lately? Really have you seen it?’“I have cleared it with him now.“I said to him as a father I tried to explain the team is going through something like this but the main thing is how they are going to bounce back and how they are going to regroup.“I said ‘next year Villa will be really good and back in the Premier League.“He said: ‘I will be happy with that but can you promise?’“I need to make him a promise and that is a big promise. I don’t like to break promises.”
