Awful bad luck with injuries, but has never really looked the part.

Let's face it he's never been any good and was overrated from day one. Dare I say he wasn't even as good as his brother. At least he had one good asset with his shooting, which is up there with the best.

Either way he clearly isn't rated much at all now.

All I remember was that he was highly rated as a youth team player which never materialised into the first team.
He was highly rated before his injuries, within and outside the club. Rafa Benitez was rumoured to be looking at him when he was Inter manager. It's a real shame the injuries and no doubt associated lack of confidence happened, he was our most-talented Villa-bred since Luke or Lee.
