David Platt's Villa Dream Team

[Dr Butler]

 Platt sometimes seem to give the impression that he never played for us, he has some great things to say about our Sid though...

He was a great player for us, as a kid watching him, Sid and Macca in the same team was a wonderful time to be a Villa fan.

[Tony Erdington]

well from what people say about him , he may be a bit of a tool.

But he was a great player for us. that game against inter for me probably one of his best

[PeterWithesShin]

I read it earlier. I love what he says about Sid.

Gianluca Vialli, Roberto Baggio, Ruud Gullit, Roberto Mancini and Dennis Bergkamp are just a few of the players I played with in my career.

Only Mancini gets anywhere near GORDON COWANS in terms of being the best.

I owe a lot to him. He made me look better than I was.

Nearly lost my job after I got caught racking up massive bills on Clubcall in the late 80s

He was obviously struggling for a left winger!!  I'm just trying to think if Mark Walters had left by the time Platt arrived. 

[PeterWithesShin]

Amazed he didn't go for Sticks on the wing! And I think Walters left about a year before Platt arrived.

yes he did David, yes he did...

[PeterWithesShin]

Reminds of the time he was asked what his ambition was and replied "to make a run Gordon Cowans doesn't see."

I'm sure I saw a clip recently of us playing in the 2nd Division (as it was then) and the commentator remarking that Mark Walters was too good for defenders in that division. Didn't he leave halfway through that season?

Platt was a quality player, too.
It's testament to Sid, saying that "He made me better than I was"

Yeah he cleared off to Rangers at Christmas.

Platt was a great player for us but I can never think of him without remembering the way he used to run back after an attack with his hands flapping about.
