Insignificant Villa players in history

Sorry  a waster

Oscar Arce

Think you've hit the jackpot. I think he made two appearances for the reserves and was released. Ex-Argentina International. Was he earning his fair back home - who knows!?

[Darlo Dave]

Am I imagining John Fashanu in a Villa shirt?

Najwan gharayib? John Gregory signing, supposed to be Alan wrights replacement at left back, can remember him ever playing though?

[Chris Jameson]

Saw him play against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough, it was a midweek game just after (I think) the FA Cup semi final.

Bosko BAlaban, IVo Staas, do they actually ever play a game?
Oscar ARce did play once or twice and I'm sure that he was sent off.

He played 1 league game and 1 LC game plus 4 sub appearances
Yup a pretty crap signing.

Aston Villa [edit]
Balaban failed to find any form for Aston Villa, making just nine appearances, seven as a substitute, in two and a half years.[3] He was loaned back to Dinamo Zagreb for the 2002–03 season, scoring 15 times in 24 appearances.
In December 2003, Aston Villa released Balaban from his contract and he signed for Club Brugge on a free transfer.[3]
On 4 July 2007, Times Newspapers ranked Balaban as one of their 50 worst footballers.[ 4] Made me think, so borrowed this from that wiki lot. Sure I saw him come on as a sub & he was that bad that the rest of the players didn't bother passing to hm.

Oscar never actually managed to play a single game for Villa.

Neither did his brother Hector, before they both scuttled back to argieland, presumably a little richer.

The other Andy Gray

You mean the guy we signed from Palace? As I remember he was very much involved in our promotion season of 1987-88. Hardly what I'd call insignificant.
