Excellent 2 hr interview just been released by the Claret and Blue podcast team, well worth a listen and lots of memories.
I watched this last night after I had posted in the other thread about the 2000 cup final. I was hoping we would hear a little more about that 98-99 season and why we fell away. He was dead right about Dwight Yorke. I know it's all ifs and buts and maybes but if Yorke's head hadn't been turned and we had made that wonderful start in 98-99....things could have been different - especially if we had gone on to sign Dublin ti partner him.
Agree with your summary there SHQ.

That said he was very interesting and you can feel his love for all things Villa.The Steven Frogatt podcast by the same guys is a really good , Frogatt could be an after dinner speaker with his recollections of funny tales.

You'd think a man of his experience and reputation may have worked it out, but no, crawl up Liverpool's arse, call us a lower mid-table club when we've just finished 6th three years on the trot and then alienate half your squad when the transfer window has just closed. Pillock.Then there's O'Leary.

He took to first team football like a duck to water after making his debut in 1991/92, the wonder goal in the cup against Swindon away being the highlight that year. And he provided at least half the assists when Deano bagged six goals in his first three games in 92/93. The Wimbledon away game is fondly remembered for Dalian's wonder goal. But it was Froggatt's injury in that game that largely bollocksed his Villa career. He still went on to get England recognition when he eventually ended up being sent to Coventry via Wolves. He was that good.
