Remember his debut at Villa Park. Bradford couldn't get anywhere near him. Kind of performance you'd pay money to watch.
Thought we might have been getting a show pony, just out for one last payday. But under a better manager than Gregory he could still have been a big player for us. He had the desire and -his own way- the workrate.
There is no point in signing a player like Ginola and then complaining that he doesn't track back. He hadn't in his career up until then, why was he suddenly going to start in his 30s?
He has always spoken well about us whenever asked too. Not empty rhetoric and platitudes either, sounds like he is actually bothered a bit. Which immediately puts him above the likes of Ray Houghton and (sadly) David Platt and Mark Bosnich. Players who did far more in a Villa shirt, but seem to see their time at VP as something to gloss over.
