The Alan Hutton Thread

[JW1985]

He accepted a pay cut too and was never interested in looking for a better deal elsewhere legend in my eyes.

He took a pay cut only to see us taken over by billionaires a few weeks later. Still at least he ended his Villa career on a high and well thought of. That goal vs blues is iconic and will be looked back on by Villa fans decades from now.

True but he proved his commitment to us it was the Villa he loved not the lolly not many fuckers like him left.

Think he did alright out of us financially. That’s not to decry his loyalty and commitment.

Wish him well. I'm glad he got a 2nd chance in the team and his career here ended on a positive.

Of course he did so did Charlie boy

It wasn't meant as a dig at him. Just something that always amused me that the poor bloke signed a contract on a lower wage only to see us taken over by billionaires a few weeks later. I'd have been fuming at my bad luck.

One of my favourite moments ever at Villa Park. The sheer unlikelyness of it made it magical.

There was something magical about that goal, like it was meant to happen or something, almost as if Alan Hutton played God for a day and wrote the script himself.

I loved that season . Many glorious moments and that was up there with the best of them.

 

[McParlandTheGreat]

It was a goal of sheer quality, that's the amazing thing. One of the best ever. It reminded me of Villa maybe 20 years before, when players would run with the ball rather than pass as soon as possible.

Nope, we were lucky and how dare you mention past seasons under our former manager.

Yeah, you rarely see that type of run these days. Also a stark reminder of what can happen when you continue to back off.
Also loved his goal at Hull, now that was a celebration.
