LancsVillan Posted July 29, 2005 Moderator Share Posted July 29, 2005 So as the votes comes in here is how the VT XI looks: GK - Mark Bosnich RB - Earl Barrett CB - Paul McGrath CB - Olof Mellberg LB - Steve Staunton RM - Nolberto Solano / Merse CM - Ian Taylor CM - Gav McCann LM - Tony Daley FW - JPA FW - DwightYorke Subs: GK - Sorenson - bit a surprise to me that DF - Gareth Southgate MF - Andy Townsend ??? FW - Dean Saunders Utility - Gareth Barry Manager - EDDIT LV GK/ RB / LB all sorted. And now the wide players. Midfield Complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1977 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Earl Barrett our best right back. Blimey we must have been poor in this department over the years. Shame you couldn't have gone back further to the best two we have had since I supported the Villa. Namely John Gidman or Kenny Swain. Sorry to sound negative but Earl Barrett.......

LancsVillan Posted July 29, 2005 Author Moderator Share Posted July 29, 2005 sorry not to go back as far as some people wanted :roll: we would have ended up with 90% of the EC team, or at least should have............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomIsADeftone Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Seems like this team will be made up of the Big Ron Era players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddy Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 And where is De La Cruz? Some people can't even see the World's greatest ever player when he's clattering down their wing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojoe Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Merson should be CM instead of McCann. Solid player tho he is I can't believe he made it into this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Merson should be CM instead of McCann. Solid player tho he is I can't believe he made it into this team. If you looked at the polls to see who he's up against you'd see how he made it in. It was him or the crab basically, Merson was counted as a striker, don't ask why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisVillan Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 And where is De La Cruz? Some people can't even see the World's greatest ever player when he's clattering down their wing! He's the Ecuadorian David Beckham apparently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Good to see Andy T making the bench at least - one of my favourite players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronk-villa Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I must confess I have not been paying attention to this, but thought i'd have a look at the overall team. Where the hell is David Platt? And where are Bernie gallacher, Stan Collymore and Sasa Curcic for that Mattter!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelle Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Seems like this team will be made up of the Big Ron Era players. Wouldn't say that. Maybe that Big Ron is "the winner" of the managers but as far as I'm concerned he only brought in 3 of the players in the starting 11. Sure there were more playing under him of them, but many of them played under Taylor too, didn't they? Yorke, Daley, Mellberg, Taylor (or did he leave before Taylors second spell?), JPA, and so on and so forth. Still a nice little poll with an interesting result. And of course one could ask for players from earlier eras but there would be a bit too many to vote on maybe. I mean between the EC-winners and Taylors first Era there are plenty of players too. Players like McMahon, Steve Hodge etc. So I guess that the limit was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelle Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Hm, something I've missed? All I remember about him is when he played for England and was pretty good and then I saw that he played for Villa. Did he mess up? :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villadude Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 What about little Alan Wright ? Vastly underated player IMO .. I also liked the gritty Shaun Teale in defence too, not much got past him in his day, always gave 100%, an effective player ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
