When I think back to that Villa side of the period I always think of Barry, Young, Laursen, Petrov, Gabby, but I nearly always forget what a great player Carew was for us at the time. I hope Kozak turns out to be as good as Carew was (and hopefully a song as good).

Happy Birthday John and thank you for playing for us.
And everyone, don't upset the man, he's bigger than me and you!

I loved his goal against Stoke, shame it all went down hill after that game.

On his day unplayable, there were quite a few other days though.

John Carew Carew, he's bigger than me and you, he has a good month or two, John Carew Carew.

Happy birthday big fella, if you were more consistent you'd never have played for us in the first place.

Probably the best value signing we've ever had, considering he cost 1 x Milan Baros.  Like swapping a Fiat for an Alpha Romeo.

Great footage. Right up there with the Dalian umbrella.
John Carew, Carew.
He told us he had the flu.
He had a lapdance or two....

Great player. I loved his penalties. He shagged Aleshia Dixon. Nuff said.
