Shaw and Withe went together like bacon and eggs...and they sizzled!

So which 2 strikers from the villa past would you like to sign to bring the goals back to the historic club!

Dublin and Carew for me !


Maybe Altidore in the future?

Genuine partnership - Shaw and Withe.
Fantasy partnership - Benteke and Yorke

Morley and Young wide left and wide right supplying them.

That gave me an idea. Best Villa forward partnership based on Scrabble scores.

From what I've read, he'd definitely be one is like to go back in time to see.

All of the above would have struggled to score in this team due to poor supply, so I will stick with Benteke and add Morley and Cowans to the team.

Indeed.

Our problem now isn't poor strikers. It is the total lack of a functioning creative midfield.

We can never know as we never saw him,
I used to go to VP with a friend who was 10 years older than me, and he always said he was the best striker he'd seen at Villa

Hitchens had a book out a couple of years ago I bought it him for Christmas

Gerry Hitchens, along with Peter McParland were my first real Villa heroes.  Both serious hard men and good with it.

I wouldn't pick more forwards. Our problem is we're far too creative and attacking.

Need to tighten up at the back so I'd go for Andy Comyn and Colin Calderwood.

Benteke has proven he can score when up front on his own, so for me it would be a case of getting him the right support.  The ever popular Young and Downing either side of him, with Merson or Keane just in behind would do the trick.
