Knowing ours and Joe's luck he will start half a dozen games and after an injury ravaged season will announce his retirement.

Injuries are not just a recent thing.  Think about Keith Leonard, Brian Little, Gary Shaw and Alex Cropley.  Top players in their prime.

I remember Keith Leonard, His injury was really tragic as he had only just made the break through. I honestly believe he would have been a real star.

I went to a lot of games in the 74/75 promotion season and Keith was a top player and very underrated, terrible shame he had to end his career at such a young age.

Ditto - a genuinely decent player in a career that only lasted 38 games for Villa.

Keith Leonard, a big man, had no pace whatsoever but clever skills in abundance....and he knew how to look after himself!

Ron, do you remember Keith Leonard smashing Dave Watson's nose with his elbow during a match against Sunderland during the 70's?  It looked like a squashed tomato. 

A promising career cut short sadly.

Went into a challenge with that useless great lump of an Arsenal keeper, somebody Rimmer, and did his knee.
