Was Kinsella captain of us? If so he has to be our worst ever captain. Spent 90 minutes pointing and doing absolutely nothing.

I did like the bloke who sat behind us at Villa Park saying of the much maligned Harewood: "Bloody hell Marlon, you can trap a ball further than I can kick it".

Are you sure you're not thinking of Reo-Coker? ;)

IIRC when we signed Kinsella we were also after Matt Holland.These 2 were the nucleus of the ROI midfield. Holland turned us down. It was akin to trying to buy Wham! and ending up with Ridgeley but not Michael.

Or as mentioned elsewhere in the thread, Cascarino instead of Sherinhgham.

I agree. We flogged Steve Foster to Luton and then paid about five times what we got for him to bring in the bloke he was keeping out of their side.

Mark Lillis for me. Out of his depth in Division 2. Signed as a striker and stuck in midfield to run around and make a nuisance of himself.

Tonev. Also utterly fucking useless. His performance against Sheffield United in the Cup was probably the worst I have ever seen by a Villa player. And bearing in mind that a total shot Weiman (confidence wise) was on the pitch that day it was a monumentous achievement.

Has Luna been mentioned yet?  Honestly can't remember anyone worse.

John Inglis was, as the more mature posters will confirm the worst player who ever pulled the claret and light blue shirt on. Absolutely dreadful on all levels. Oscar Arce ,as you well know, never played a first team game.
Can you tell me more about John Inglis? Seems he only played for us twice, what position did he masquerade in and what was so awful about him?

The 84 to 87 team had a whole pile of them Norton, Glover, Kerr, Sims, Aspinall, Gallagher, Lillis, Allen. To a man, all crap.

One of the reasons that im not going overboard about Amavi is that Luna looked eberyw bit as good as him in his first couple of games.

The very fact that he only played twice for us tells you all you need to know.  It  also speaks volumes that he was that bad, that I thought he'd made more appearances than that, he's indelibly etched in my memory.

Do you remember that bloke that got on for Southampton when Souness was manager.  Claimed he was a cousin of George Weah?  He was worse than that.  Ball control, zilch, positional awareness, zilch, taking goal scoring opportunities, zilch.  Absolutely dire.  I believe he was a relative of a member of the coaching staff of the time.  He should never have been within an exclusion zone of ten miles of Villa Park, let alone play for the club.  I was a fairly regular watcher of the reserves at the time and he was equally as shit for them.  An awful player.
