Our last Scottish player that was decent

[tarzansbrother]

So McGinn looks like joining. Not many Scottish players succeed moving across the border, especially for Villa. Who has been a success?

I have to say, I think Hutton has come good over the years.

In terms of properly successful Scots at Villa, Allan Evans, Ken McNaught and Des Bremner spring immediately to mind. Andy Gray in his first incarnation.

But in the last 30 years, no one to write home about.

Colin Calderwood was alright from vague memory's
a few Mcduffs
Paul McBrown & Frank McAvennie

Ray Houghton is a Scot even though he played for Ireland. He did a decent job for us under BFR.

Alex Cropley.......I thank you

Charlie Aitken no more words needed.

Bruce Rioch

 

[Old Trinity Villan]

Andy Gray is the best centre forward i will ever see at AVFC.

 

[McParlandTheGreat]

Barry Bannan

Going back further, Bruce Rioch, George Graham. Even further, Ron Wylie; pretty good.

There's a list of Villa players on:

If we're getting nostalgic I'd like to put in a vote for Andy Lochhead, who took penalties with his head.

 

[AllanJW]

'Who'. Our last scottish player *who* was decent.

Charlie Aitken, Bruce Rioch, Andy Gray, Alan McInally. Oh, and who founded the club?

 

[gmvillan]

I hear Paul Lambert was quite useful in the 5-a-sides at training.....

 

[Chieftoast]

Shaun Maloney scored a few for us... Not really in the same bracket as Gray and McInally though

 

[ironside]

Andy Gray. Too brave for his own good sometimes.
