Insignificant Villa players in history

[Lastfootstamper]

Tony Cascarino

I wouldn't describe him as insignificant. Quite the opposite, in fact. Made a very telling contribution in claret and blue.

Just not in a good way.

[fbriai]

Reminds me of a bloke I used to know called Andy Comyn who played 12 games for us in 1990. His first games was 3rd round of the FA Cup at home against Liverpool in front of 48,000. He got turned inside out by John Barnes at his best.

We signed him from Alvechurch though, so I don't think we can say he was a household name when we signed him.

Didn't he quit football when he left us as he had just became a qualified accountant?

[levico]

Freddie Mwila or Emment Kapengwe.

[Dave Cooper please]

Neil Tarrant. Had scored bucket loads of goals for Ross County before we bought him, did fuck all in the reserves for a couple of seasons and then went on a grand tour of obscure north-east non-league clubs.

What about the guy in the tracksuit bottoms? so insignificant I dont even remember his name, just that he came to us on a loan and played in tracksuit bottoms every game. I remember thinking he had a decent reputation beforehand and hoped that if he did well it might turn into a permanent move. From memory he was completely toilet.....

Are you thinking of Gabor Kiraly? Loaned goalkeeper in 2006/07. I remember we played him in an FA Cup tie at Old Trafford, which we lost in the last few minutes after a shot from OGS went straight through him.

yep I was at that night game, didn't Baros score to make it 1-1 before pyjama pants had a late doors mare? I think he was an 'emergency loan' as well if I recall.

[Ron Manager]

Bobby Park.Scottish forward in the mid sixties....totally useless.

I remember the Teletext headline when we signed him: 'Tarrant set to become a Villionaire'. Talk about over-hyped!

[E I Adio]

Bobby Park.Scottish forward in the mid sixties....totally useless.

He was described by the manager (Dick Taylor/Tommy Cummins???) as the most enthusiastic player on the books. Sadly, his football stood out as awful in an awful team.

[Irish villain]

Thinking back, they do tend to be 'Bs': Gustavo Bartelt anybody??

[Damo70]

I've already stuck up for Aspinall and I will stick up for Cascarino and Andy Gray II as well. Andy Gray played a big part in our promotion side and was sold for about three times what we paid for him, and Cascarino set up a couple of vital goals in the title race season and scored some very important goals against our relegation rivals Derby and Sunderland the following year.

Well said!

Didier Agathe. Fucking horse shit he was

On the cobbles or did he put it in a carrier bag first?

I'm sure he played in the 2-0 home win over Inter. I might have imagined that.

Comyn had a very good game vs Inter. It was a bit of a shame that he looked so ordinary against everyone else.

Insignificant to me really means you have to scratch your head at the thought that they were once on or books. Either because you hadn't noticed or had long since forgotten.

Tord Grip.

Mike Pejic

Bit harsh, looked the business when he first came then got a career ending injury so far as I remember
