Ten Unsung Heroes Of Aston Villa

1) Bosko Jankovic – goals for Middlesbrough v Ipswich which won the league.
2) Unknown Gypsy Woman – the first of many to curse at Sty Andrews
3) Terry Darracott – lovely near post dummy allowing God in for the Winner, 1977
4) Brendan Batson – nicely weighted back pass letting in Withe for a vital winner v Olbiyun, 1981
5) Keith Burkinshaw – actually paid money for Gordon Smith
6) Alex Ferguson – Thank you very much for ooh aah
7) Dario Gradi – for allowing David Platt to develop as a footballer at Crewe
8 ) My Uncle Jimmy – taking me to my first Villa fave v Preston North End, 1971.
9) David Geddis clearing off the line on his debut. Start of a revival which halted a brief “Saunders Out Campaign” in 1979/80
10) Bruce Springsteen – the only decent performance at Villa Park in 1988
