Dwight Yorke.

[dave.woodhall]

His love for us didn't stop him kissing the Man Utd badge in front of us at Old Trafford.

Our love for him didn't stop the Holte giving him dogs abuse either. Not sure why some supporters think abuse is ok one way but then have a shit fit when the player reacts in kind

The reason he got the abuse was BECAUSE of the Old Trafford badge kiss incident.

I was at that game, it was a Beckham free kick, I think. Beckham ran to the Villa fans after he scored, giving it the Barry McGuigan, closely followed by Dwight. Naturally the villa fans reacted to the provocation, and then Dwight kissed the badge. He had had no real abuse up to that point. After the badge kiss, all bets were off and he got what he deserved. He had burnt his bridges.

We dont want you back Dwight.

He'd been given shit in every game before that, and please don't say 'we' when you mean 'I'.

As it goes, whilst I loved his time with us, Trinitymiddle is right.

Yorkie had received no stick from our lot until playing kissy face with their badge.

Our songs in the cup when he played for Blackburn, about his kid, were disgraceful mind.

He'd had loads, at every match.

That was his first game against us after he left.

No it wasn't.

Dwight was good for us. Shame he had a good choice for clubs and not such a good choice for his women.

[PeterWithesShin]

It was his second game against us after he left. I don't remember the home game at all so not even sure I was there, so no idea if he got stick at VP or not.

I'm with Dave, I remember him getting stick in the Villa Park game.

It was only a couple of months after he'd left, we were going great guns at the time, and remember the whole transfer had been a pretty bitter affair.

The Blackburn games chanting was really appalling. Only surpased by 03-03-03 in disgracing the club.

Personally, i think the way we often booed great returning players continually, Yorke, Southgate, Bosnich was really small time of us.

[Duncan Shaw]

Best striker in England and maybe even Europe for three years on the trot, two for us one for them.  Absolute class.  Gary Shaw still my best striker though.

[Legion]

Gary Shaw... Tony Morley... My boyhood heroes. Still are.

[Duncan Shaw]

Mine too, for obvious reasons!

[Legion]

Name-sake or related?

[Nelly]

I loved him as a player and he was wonderful but the badge kissing was such a cutting gesture. I wouldn't want him as manager of Aston Villa, personally.

[Toronto Villa]

there is no room for sentiment when it comes to managing at the top level. He should prove his worth lower down and get all of his badges to be considered for any job in the PL irrespective of his attachment to the club. There's nothing automatic about the transition from great player to successful football manager.
