Quote from: kippaxvilla2 on March 30, 2016, 09:13:10 AMHas any 'cross the city divide' move ever worked out?With the exception of Ridgewell for them (and us). He was their version of Cambiasso.I always thought Geoff Vowden did alright for us, even though he was never a fans' favourite. Not where I stood anyway.

Not where I stood anyway.Vowden did alright for us...he was a solid professional...but he'd been a bit of a Noses' legend for some time hadn't he? That lot over there cast him out and we took him in...never a good situation!
Quote from: amfy on March 30, 2016, 09:10:35 AMLoads of people have one way or another. The point is doing it and then saying 'You don't do it' when referring to someone else. I wouldn't slam it as the height of hypocrisy, but I think it's fair enough to point out its a daft thing for him to say.I agree - throughout history the two clubs have traded players. There's a long line from Charlie Athersmith onwards.

I know he wasn't with us for long but I used to like Trevor Hockey
Quote from: Nelly on March 30, 2016, 07:16:28 AMTake the job by all means, dance on the pitch when they score? No. Wasn't that the game they came back from 2-0 down and scored in the last minute? Maybe he got carried away but after the career he had with us, i'm not going to hold it against him.

Quote from: Clampy on March 30, 2016, 08:15:07 AMIt depends what you mean by 'cross the city divide'. Mcleish walked out on Blues to manage Villa. Spink played for another 3 clubs before he even became a coach under Steve Bruce. Dennis Mortimer and Des Bremner did it, as did another manager.

Spink played for another 3 clubs before he even became a coach under Steve Bruce. To be fair to Nigel Spink when asked why he went to the Blues he said "The Villa have never offered me a job". That is all it was to him, a job. Family to support means he needed a job

He also re-crossed the City divide and played for "them" again in the late 80s. Can't be many players that have done that
