They could afford to mock, seeing as they had the talents of Paul Furlong and Kevin Francis to enjoy.

Never as good as he should have been, maybe he was better suited to foreign shores, plus my view of him changed after the spitting incident.

Very good... that made me laugh, my point is he wasn't around long was he, 2-3 seasons at most?

Can remember him pulling a clearance up field out of the sky at vp just as that big long haired lurch centre half from Newcastle tried to break him in two.
Pulled it down and skipped over him in one movement and made him look a total prat

Loved him

Christmas 1995, dark blue away kit with Milosevic 9 on the shirt.

That was my first villa kit, still got it somewhere.

Loved Savo, and his bandana! I think the signing of Stan killed his Villa career, loved him as a player and him and Yorke were a great partnership. Didn't he spit at some of our fans though I a game against Blackburn?

Can't remember which match but... I remember being right down the front of the Holte and him surrounded by three defenders. He did a Zidane double drag-back to waltz out of the situation. While the defenders were still trying to figure out what had happened, he passed from the side of the 18 yard box to the corner of the 6 yard box where Dwight Yorke....pushed it wide of the post. It really deserved a goal.

1995-96 - 49 apps in all comps, 14 goals.  12 of those goals were in league.
1996-97 - 36 apps in all comps, 10 league goals (although some sources credit his second v Wimbledon in the 5-0 as an og).
1997-98 - 32 apps in all comps, 10 goals, 7 of those goals were league goals.

In their first two seasons as a duo Yorke and Savo between them scored 69 goals (45 Yorke/Savo 24).
