Pretty much the whole squad in 2015-16, especially bad Santa.

A rubbish man

I'll go with that

If we're talking managers, O'Leary is that one that really rankled me.

Probably Yorke. I've moved on to the stage where I can think of his goals for Villa with fondness again now. But at the time, he broke my heart. The fucking Fredo.

This. Although i'm not sure what a Fredo is.

Hodge
Staunton

and Spoon Face for deleting Aston Villa from his cv.

Why the former Darling of the Holte holds us all with such contempt is beyond me.

Pissed off when Rioch left but Gray went from Hero to Zero when he left
I saw Dwight commenting on the Euros, he was going on about Grealish.
The main presenter said something about it must be the Villa connection and added, Southgate too.
Dwight said, once Villa always Villa, shit that's not how I remember it

Not the first, but after the way he treated Jack last night Gareth Shitgate is up at the top of the list.

Andy Gray for me. I loved him from the moment he arrived in 1975 to the day he left in 1979. For those who never saw him play, he was a swashbuckling talisman of a player, similar to Jack in that respect. He didn't have Jack's skills but Gray was a fearless and lethal goalscorer. When he scored for Wolves against us at Molineux and he celebrated like he did I was thrown out of the ground by the police for running from the top of the stand to the bottom in uncontrolled anger. They must have thought I was going to invade the pitch (I wasn't, honest). I was absolutely gutted when he left (along with another hero John Gidman) but learned in time that it's true that no player is bigger than the club and can be replaced. And didn't we just - we won the League the season after and the European Cup the season after that. Up yours Andy.
