I'd put Yorke in that world class bracket too. So of arguably 5 world class players at the club since around the early 1990's, apart from Martinez, four of them, Platt, Cowans (return) Yorke and God all signed by Sir Graham Taylor.
Brilliant!
Thanks for this guys , I am in my 50’s and Colin is a legend . Blessings continued to the the Villa die hard Col 🙌🏼 maximum respect 💜🦁💙
God woke up one morning and wanted to be a defender. He then saw Paul McGrath and went back to sleep.
Pretty sure it was Scott who said it? They were some great times Colin ❤️
My favourite player from my era has to be Gordon "Sid" Cowans . Brilliant passer, defender, midfielder - creative player and he worked hard . 💯🔥👏👏👏💜💙
Best player I've ever seen in claret n blue.....
