Apart from being the last player we signed from Small Heath, from a playing point of view Alan Curbishley was insignificant. At least we got rid of Hopkins as part of the deal.

I mentioned this lad on a similar thread a while back, John Inglis, I got his first name wrong then but this was one awful player, the worst I have ever seen for the Villa and believe me, I've seen some shit in my time.

David Norton, Dean Glover, Darren Bradley, Ray Walker and Paul Kerr. Surely Graham Turner set a record there for the most number of insignificant Villa players in one team.

Phil Robinson - scored probably the most insignificant goal in Villa history at Old Trafford in the 1-3 defeat after relegation in 1987.

I was going to name Inglis but I think Bobby Park just edged him out..

The national press gave Ginola the man of the match plaudits for the Coventry game. Apparently him coming on for Staunton turned the game. I was there and thought it was Merson who turned the game and was MOTM.

Bobby Park sounds like a Melchester Rovers player.

It was a toss-up between the two Ron but, Inglis edged it because Park at least managed to score a couple.

There is a fine line between insignificance and being a very poor footballer. I think Bobby Park probably qualifies more towards the latter.

If we are going for the double of insignificance and poor footballer then my vote goes to David Hunt.

For the older more discerning Villians.

Gentlemen I give you

Cammie Fraser!!  He was scottish you know...as is Alan Hutton...and possibly even worse at right back.

I can actually remember Villa signing him.  Signed and played the same evening, you could do that back then.
