He would not in any sense be my favourite Villa player, but the one to give me most pleasure was Stan Collymore when he scored that screamer against Atletico Madrid. I don't think I've ever been as happy as I was in that single moment.
If Dennis Mortimer played in snow he wouldn't leave footprints, but for me It's Gerry Hitchens . Probably it's because I wore his England kit, the whole lot,cap included, to watch us win the world cup as a kid. And I was too young to see him play,And Maybe it's because he was my uncle.
