Taylo Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I saw a very young Dwight Yorke play one of his first ever games for villa for a Villa XI back in pre season 89 against my home club Cirencester Town.

Pretty sure I was at that game as well, only once though, still have the programme somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairy nuff, can't even remember us playing Basel but we're potentially both right! I defo remember seeing him score, it was a pretty good goal too from memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Richard Walker in the 1999-2000 season. Started in a home game against Arsenal and scored a good header. I thought he looked like a solid player, not much pace got had a goal scoring instinct and looked quite strong on the ball. He became a pretty solid lower league forward but looked as though he had more potential than that back in 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Saw Ian Ormonroyd score, I think it was at Old Trafford and it was a record crowd for the first division at 47K. I know they don't count but also saw Eric Cantona play for Leeds and Ray Wilkins play for QPR at VP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaGoMarching Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Two players from me. Rob Edwards, played at RB in a defeat at home to Chelsea under GT I believe. I thought he looked decent and seem to remember him having a mazy run and lob which didn't quite go in. My poor memory may be kind to the lad but for whatever reason he barely played for us again. Luc Nilis, simply the biggest unfulfilled talent we've ever had, injury robbed us of some happy times. Who knows what JG could have achieved with him in the side ever at the grand age of 33.

On Rob Edwards we actually won that game, think he hit the crossbar and Allback scored maybe 2 actually. He looked decent and then O'Leary didnt fancy him and that was end of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzvilla Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Suppose it's not strictly a Villa player but saw George Best play for Villa once...was very young though and didn't really know who he was at the time! 1985 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) I'm surprised that no-one has said stefan moore yet, he scored on his debut against charlton, great goal it was. He made a few more sub appearances but never established himself, looked superb against charlton though Edited October 15, 2014 by sir_gary_cahill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
