The All Time (under 20 appearances) Villa XI

[supertom]

Of all the first team players we've had over the years who didn't quite make it for whatever reason, can you name a decent (okay decent might be a struggle in places) first 11?

Sealey

Drobny
Bardsley
Tiler

Berson
Beinlich
Lamptey/Djembax2

Nilis

Balaban
Keane
Sutton

The good old 3313 formation.
I'm sure some of you will pull out a few diamonds. I couldn't for the life of me put Didier Agathe in that side though. Even in a side featuring Djemba and Bardsley.

[Deano's Mullet]

Lee Butler
Ivo Stas
Paul Browne
David Unsworth
David Curtolo
Michael Boulding
Paul Mortimer
Matthias Breitkreurtz
Franz Carr
Gilles De Bilde
John Fashanu

Berson was kick-ass on Football Manager 2004-05 season!

[The Man With A Stick]

I remember seeing Beinlich and Breitkreutz play for the reserves when they put seven past Liverpool and thinking they were both destined for greatness with us.

[Yossarian]

They both went on to be massively successful in Germany. Why did we let them go?

Berson was always a staple on Pro Evo too. Good to start and always developed well in master league.

I'd completely forgotten about Unsworth. Surprising as I actually saw him play in one of the few matches he appeared in. Pre season friendly against Wycombe.

They wanted to.

[PeterWithe]

Breitkruitz didn't go on to be anything special did he? despite being the better of the two in his time here in my opinion.

[UK Redsox]

Slot in Najwan Ghrayib at left back for a more balanced defence.

The legend that was Mark Kinsella is just ineligible for this team.

[Deano's Mullet]

I remember Beinlich actually scored for us up at Newcastle after we won the Coca-Cola Cup, we were smashed by four or five, Andy Cole broke a scoring record in that game by getting 40+ goals in a season I think. Anyway, Beinlich I recall ended up at Hansa Rostock and scored a fair few goals for them.

[supertom]

Leonhardsen also just qualifies with 19 appearences (league). He chipped in with a few goals too. That said, he was well past his best when he joined and utterly forgettable. Slightly more productive than Kinsella was though.

[supertom]

I was wondering how close Ulises De La Cruz came to qualifying for this, and was completely shocked to see he'd registered 89 games for us. I honestly can't remember many.

[UK Redsox]

How about Joey Gudjonsson ?

[Deano's Mullet]

Garry Penrice racked up 20 apps exactly. Guy Whittingham made 35 but I liked him as a player.
