Savo

[nigel]

Savo was a wonderful player who was beginning to show what he could do and forming a great partnership with Yorke.

Then along came Colleymore!! Good player, yes, but, we didn't need him. For me he was a Doug ego buy

Angel was far superior in every single department to Milosevic, its not even close.

Put Angel in that team Savo had around him and see the difference.

[Axl Rose]

As a 12 year old at the time, I adored the bloke! I adored Angel, too.

I think Milosevic was a better all round player than Angel.

[Nastylee]

I bet if you ask Deight he'd speak very complimentary about Savo. Did a lit of donkey work and weighed in with assists.

[Deano's Mullet]

Loved Savo. And he scored a fabulous goal in winning a trophy. Angel was better in the air but I remember Savo far more fondly.

Savo played in a much better team than JPA. Both very talented players but JPA delivered far more in a Villa shirt until an ankle injury finished him.

I think it's the anniversary of the League Cup win today.

Did Savo actually wear the bandana in games for us? I don't remember that.

[OzVilla]

No, the bandanna thing came before us as he’d suffered a head injury from memory and he scored a few while wearing it. It was just a marketing gimmick. Doug bullshitting to shift a few cheap head scarfs hey....who’d a thunk it.

Absolutely brilliant holding on to the ball .

That was not always a good thing. I remember breaking at speed, the ball going to Savo for him to hold it up and slow the play down...frustraited the he'll out of me.

Thank you officer Crabtree.

Loved Savo, the goal at Blackburn, that hat trick at home to Cov and of course his strike at Wembley (not Brian Moore's finest hour),

Beginning of the end when we signed Collymore and there seemed to be a contest at times as to who could sulk more during a game.

Strangely, and I don't do it regularly, when that Boro player headed a mile wide last week at Villa Park, I shouted SAVO, SAVO. Always there at the back of the brain....

[clash city rocker]

Remember meeting him outside selhurst park after we had lost to Wimbledon. Got his autograph and within a few days Little had gone if I remember correctly.

[Meanwood Villa]

A member of my favourite Villa team. Great memories.

I think he ran out wearing it for the first game and chucked it in the crowd? Certainly can't remember him playing in it.

[itbrvilla]

Absolutely loved Savo. One of my favourite players and yes when he teed up for that shot at Wembley I knew it was going in.

Sums up my feelings. He was very good with the ball at his feet. Went to Real Zaragoza I think and won the golden boot IIRC.
