Insignificant Villa players in history

[dave shelley]

Again, for us old fogey's, another I've posted about on here, Dave Pountney; he of the milk bottle legs, and just as quick!

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.

Dave who did he replace? Ive been thinking it was Stan Lynn but was it Jock Winton?.

[Damo70]

I didn't realise Cammie played for us. Unbelievable Jeff!

I think it was Stan Lynn Ron but, I'm not  100%.  It was possibly around 1962ish, I'll have to check.

Didn't he play left half after Alan Deakin broke his leg?

Seem to remember we called him "Passback Poutney" after his favourite manouvre.

That's the one.  Dire.

Regarding Cammie Fraser Ron, I was right about 1962.  Check out Wiki, it says on there that he went on to help relegate the Noses, I forgot about that so he can't be all that bad!

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Steve Watson. Ferndo Nelson. Andy Marshall. Stephen Ireland. To name but a few.

To be a truly insignificant player they can't have been so bad they became infamous, or a loan signing. An insignificant player must have cost not very much, been here a while, done absolutely nothing, had no effect on the team, played in no great games and been forgotten the day after they left, never to be discussed again.

Terry Bullivant, Adrian Heath,  Nicky Shorey, Colin Calderwood, Joe Ward, Willie Young.

That sounds like Paul Mortimer then.

Actually bridging the gap between Stan the Wham and Cammie Fraser was Gordon Lee IIRC (later Everton boss) ??

Cammie debuted 17.11.62  Stans last game was at Blackburn 16.9.61 (Charlie's 2nd game)

Not sure if mentioned earlier - I give you Frank Pimblett - barely made it into double figures in 2 seasons - score a couple mind...

Another senior moment!  I thought Gordon Lee played at left back. Im wrong. I also thought he had died several years ago but he hasnt.
Hes 78 and living in Lytham St Annes.

With apologies to the "youngsters" on here but, please indulge us "oldies".  Lads, do you also remember John Neale who played right back for us around the same time?  He went on to manage Middlesborough and Chelsea amongst others, reasonably well iirc.

Sorry for deviating from the thread as John Neale and Gordon Lee were far from insignificant.
