Parker was good. Samuel was generally okay. Both terrible candidates for worst ever.

[eamonn]

I doubt he even wrote that Instagram post, he's as articulate as fuck.

[JUAN PABLO]

hes been mainly shit since the Houlier days

I really wish he would piss off . we are where we are at because of wasters like him

[VancouverLion]

...anyone else remember JLloyd Samuel's place on MTV's " Cribs "....yes THAT JLloyd Samuel......now there's a candidate for worst ever player I have been trying to think of someone other than Gary Parker all evening !

You for real? Parker was class in '92-'93.

What I'd give to have a Garry Parker in this clusterfuck of a squad, he was superb for the Villa!

[mattjpa]

Sorry pal another one for the Parker fan club. Would absolutely boss this side. To be fair if he was still around he would probably be captain, club captain, player coach and tea lady such is the level of incompetence around the place

Garry Parker mentioned in this thread! You should be ashamed, he was a marvelous player.

[brian green]

I strongly suspect that Gary Penrice was the original intended worst player target.  Gary Parker was a very good player.

My theory is undermined somewhat by the inclusion of Jloyd Samuel who was an okay player saddled at birth with a silly name.  If he had been Kevin Samuel or Wally Samuel he would have got better reviews.

Maybe he's getting him (Gary P) mixed up with Eric 'so bad they named him twice' Djemba-Djemba? Hey, it's an easy mistake to make...

As Villa have spent the last 15-20 years or so blighted by near misses and 'didn't we almost have it all'. i think we could name a team along those lines. Should have been top notch, were good enough, but fell away for one reason or another (not those that were transferred and went on to better things just those that just should have done better).

I'll go with:

Guzan

Watson
Unsworth
Alpay
Samuel

Albrighton
Stone
Gardner C
Reo-Coker

Agbonlahor
Balaban

Stan Collymore, Sasa Curcic both contenders as well.

Better contenders to be fair

Gardner for Curcic and Stan for Balaban

Not sure Wally is an ideal first name for a footballer.

[peter w]

Wally Downes will disagree.

[Gregorys Boy]

The fine and him stepping down as Captain isn't enough.  He needs to be gone from the club now.

And Ireland.  I think Balaban deserves his place.
