First Villa Hero
« on: July 05, 2021, 04:52:37 PM »
Who was your first Villa hero?

I think weirdly I quite liked Derek Mountfield, as I always liked goalscoring defenders. Moved onto Staunton afterwards.

I think my brother may have had a figurine of Mountfield, which may have helped. He has Van Basten by the same company, but I wasn't bothered about him.

Another vote for Bruce Rioch. I cried when he left for Derby. Not even a big club at the time I thought, though they went on to win the league.

Andy Gray and Sir Brian - could never split them even when I was really young.

Tony Hateley. He was the main source of Villa's goals back then.

One very sad and puzzled 11-year-old when he went to Chelsea.

David Platt but the one I truly idolised even more once he'd signed was Dean Saunders.  We've had strikers with superior goalscoring records but I really loved the guy.
