One of my all-time favourites – criminal how he was allowed to leave a mere three years after lifting the European Cup. And even more criminal how he was never capped by England – mind-boggling!

Don't get me started on the England thing JPA.

I actually wrote to the great man once telling him it was a national disgrace etc that he hadn't been capped.

Not knowing who Villa were, whilst playing for Coventry? I thought this was about Juan Pablo Angel

He lived next door to my mate and my mate who is not much of a football fan did not realise who it was, he knew he played for the Villa once and that was about it. Do he not get an England B cap once

 

[sirdennis]

Yes I think he did.

Joke really when you think of some players who have played for England.

I'm meeting up with him Saturday and he's coming to the Spurs game with me.

Don't like to talk about it.

Well to be fair, he was a kid just down from Merseyside and we were two divisions below Cov at the time, so it wouldn't be a huge surprise. He soon found out though
