Hi folks,
Hope you appreciate the punchy title.
This was inspired by the top goals this century thread, specifically the post about old players coming back to wave hello.
Of course there are Villa fans who love us (Taylor, Albrighton, Gardner.....) and those who achieved great things with us (Saint Brian, Peter McParland, the '80-'82 squads).
But there are also players out there who had no connection with Villa - until they played for us. Whether for two seasons or ten, some former players fell in love with our club.
Let's celebrate them. Any you can think of, any that mean the most to you, any that evoke specific memories & experiences. And just because one may already have been done, doesn't mean you can't name them and tell us why.
I'll start with an obvious one from recent years: Big John Carew. The day of his hat-trick against Newcastle was my 18th birthday, and I was in the Lower Holte. Even over the noise of the crowd, we could hear him celebrating his third, it meant so much to him.
