An Albion Villa XI

[Goldstone Rapper]

Did G Barry ever kick one for us ?

No, he wasn't good enough for our first team, so we sold him to Aston Villa.

 

[Horses Arse]

When did foster play for villa? Thought he came from Pompey?

He did come from Portsmouth. He joined Aston Villa from us before shortly moving to Luton.

 

[BLOCK F]

Ahh, fantastic. Thanks for filling in the spaces.

GK Graham Moseley

LB Bernie Gallagher
CB Steve Foster

MID Gareth Barry
MID Steve Sidwell

MANAGER: Pat Saward

What a class team!

Good team,but as long as we had Willie Irvine playing for us,he would still have scored a cracker!!!!!

 

[Storer68]

Ahhh, the mighty Pies, who graced the Withdean flanks with his pace and
silky wing play in the Micky Adams (1) era

and managed to stroll through our defence at the Goldstone when playing for Carlisle (?)

 

[Storer68]

Didn't Des Bremner play for Villa, or have I got the wrong brother?

Jim Walker also played for Albion in midfield.

DES Bremner did indeed play for the Villa (European Cup winning side?)

KEVIN Bremner (his brother) didn't. He played for us.

sold to villa in 1983. part of the post Cup Final clear out

 

[Storer68]

oooh just seen -sorry about the size

 

[Karlos23]

I also think that alan curbishley played for both??

 

[seagullsoverlincoln]

Anybody know what happened to Michael Standing? joined Villa roughly the same time
as the Gareth Barry hoo-ha, from Albion youth. Never heard of him again!

 

[spunkmonkey]

Standing is now Gareth Barry's agent. He played for Lewes last season not sure were he is playing now.

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

DES Bremner did indeed play for the Villa (European Cup winning side?)

KEVIN Bremner (his brother) didn't. He played for us.

Thanks for putting me right. I was not too confident when I wrote it, it's my age! I am stuck in the 70's and Kev Bremner came later.

 

[ali jenkins]

Barry acctually went as a 'make weight' for the Standing deal!

Just shows you how tough it is to be a Footballer!

 

[wolfie]

Continuing this idea - here is a near complete Coventry Albion side (striker and subs needed please)


GK Bill Glazier (Well I think he played for Brighton Boys)

DEF Chris Cattlin
DEF Colin Hawkins
DEF Adam Virgo (could go up front)
DEF Andy Whing

MF Ernie Machin
MF Denis Mortimer
MF Kevin Thornhill

S Mick Ferguson
S Neil Martin

MANAGER Micky Adams

Bill Glazier, are you sure? There must be an Albion keeper over the years who played for Cov. Sadly, Virgo hasn't played in goal for us yet.

If you put Virgo up front, you could then add the magnificent Steve Jacobs in defence. Oh, and Dave Sexton could be coach.

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Ian 'Reggie' Goodwin could play at the back and thus release Virgs to play upfront.

Well Bill Glazier came from Brighton. I think he used to own a laundry business in Lewes Road (or so a story went when I was younger) Good one with Steve Jacobs - solves the defence/ attack problem in one go.

 

[El Presidente]

Having refereed youth football I think the problem is the parents who manage to convince themselves that their offspring is the next Wayne Rooney, and encourage bad habits by hurling advice/abuse for the whole match, before marching them home to a diet of Turkey Twizzlers and a week analysing the game on FiFA10 on the Xbox360

 

[BensGrandad]

No, he wasn't good enough for our first team, so we sold him to Aston Villa.

Also he was only a youth player when he left us.
