1973

1983

Ron Atkinson

Mark Bosnich

Paul McGrath
Olaf Mellberg
Martin Laursen
Steve Staunton

Jack Grealish
Sid Cowans
David Platt
Mark Walters

Dwight Yorke
Gary Shaw

I’m harbouring a mild fear that I’ve completely forgotten some absolute shoeins, but there it is.

[Legion]

Tony Morley, for starters!

[PeterWithe]

I started going every week in 1985, he’d either left or faded. Walters gets in as he was the only one worth watching for years

[PeterWithe]

For a year or so Alpay was as good as there has been, rather spoiled his copybook mind

[Gareth]

I’ve stuck to players I’ve seen live with exception of Gary Shaw who blonde mop was the reason this Villa fan is a Villa fan whilst growing up in a family of noses.  Milner is the biggest omission

Only one of those that i considered was Young

[cdbullyweefan]

I considered Daley and Young. Ashley Young was one of the most exciting players we have ever had. Shame he ended up going on to become just a bit part player, usually out of position, for those twats. In fairness, he never got the respect he deserved from quite a lot of Villa fans, too. Certain segments of our support have a deep suspicion of flair players.

[Fred Crump]

Yes , there are certain players who because of either a) what club they go to  b) the lack of acknowledgement of Villa they give once they move on or c) being a tool the way they behave as a person don’t get the credit they deserve.
Young and Milner are a)
David Platt and Gareth Southgate are b)
Collymore Savo, Alpay and Hodge are c)
The snake is a mixture of a) and c)
