Mahmoud Hassan (Trezeguet) - SOLD

[Hookeysmith]

To be fair I've never really thought of him as a winger. A right-sided midfielder for sure though.

Yeh an Egyptian Paul Birch.

Sphinxy, and Birchy.......

That Sir is just genius

Trez

Thank you for the Arsenal goal and the 2 against Palace
Thank you for taking the smile of that Mug Schmiechal in the last minute of the Semi

You had lovely hair!

[Dick Edwards]

He's a player who will receive little fanfare but will be remembered fondly by Villa fans for his contribution and efforts when we got promoted.
Similarly, Jed Steer will always have a place in our hearts.

Wish him all the best and hope it goes well for him. Still want Trabzonspor to win the title though.

Cos they're claret and blue like me and you ?

Well, it's always good to see someone else aside from the Istanbul Big 3 (and Erdogan's lot) win it but yes because they're claret and blue and a bit more.

Although a number of theories have been put forward as to why the club colours of Trabzonspor are claret and blue, it has been claimed that they were adopted after the club were sent a set of kits by the English club Aston Villa after their formation in 1967.

[eamonn]

I kinda took a dislike to them after they rocked-up at Villa Park in November 1994, not only wearing our colours and forcing us to be the "away team" dress-wise, but obviously knocking us out after we thought we'd won the UEFA Cup following the peno shootout win against Inter in the previous round.

And of course that result played a part in Ron's departure who you couldn't help love even in our bad spells under him.

Still, I adopted Celta Vigo as my Spanish team after they played us off the pitch four years later so it can work both ways.

[Moonraker]

I remember going to that game thinking we would breeze it, and then got turned over. Was sat next to a Trabs fan who had come over. I was a trifle condescending to him at the start I think, and he very gently took the piss out of me at the end. Decent bloke. Was Curcic playing?

[eamonn]

No, Sasa rocked-up summer '96, almost two years later.

[algy]

Good luck, Trez. Think that's the last we'll see of him, though.


My uncle went to the away game at Trabzonspor and came back raving about them.  Mostly along the lines of 'it's brilliant ... the beer's cheap, the food's great, and everywhere's painted claret & blue'.  Anyway, ever since they've been my adopted Turkish side.

Trabs fans that night were some of the loudest I’ve ever heard at VP

[RamboandBruno]

God loves a trier and Trez is one of them. Not good enough by a stretch, but still responsible for one of my favourite Villa Park moments in the last decade, that last minute semi final winner against Leicester.
And the goals that helped keep us up.
Feels right that Trez and El Ghazi have moved on, limited but important players at a time of our re-emergence from a decade of shite and charlatans.
Thanks and good luck to him.

[Footy-Vill]

Trez would have been good impact sub tonight v Leeds.
Wondering why all the shipping out of so many players

[Footy-Vill]

Just the two goals in the 2-0 away win scored by the effervescent Trezeguet playing on loan for Istanbul Başakşehir
Shame he doesn't fit SG system !!
 Knows where the goal is.

The opposition Rizepor brought on Bolasie for the last 15 minutes!

[Drummond]

Shame he's not good enough too.

[Risso]

Trezeguet was a whole hearted player and his two goals against Palace probably kept us up. But anybody saying he "knows where the goal is" hasn't watched many Villa matches over the last three years.

[eamonn]

Hope he keeps the form up, we should make a decent profit on him in the summer if he does.
