Mervyn Day - good grief!
He was in net in my first 'live' Villa game. Wow, blast from the past.
He never wore gloves either from memory

As you are a young whippersnapper I'll forgive you putting Benito Carbone as a midfielder when he was actually a forward.
How come you missed Chris Nichol from the list?
Was he mentioned anywhere? Not sure, not looked back, I didn't compile the list.
