Aston Villa fall from grace is just baffling. Just a few years ago they were a force to reckon in English football. Under Martin O’Neal they were a fearsome team with quality players. Ashley Young, Gabriel Agbonlahor and James Milner formed quite a lethal attacking unit. When O’Neal left everything started to crumble and now they are on their way to the championship.
Manchester United has had cracking games against Villa in this Premier League era.
I remember Kiko Macheda saving our backsides as Villa threatened to spoil the party at Old Trafford.
Aston Villa beating us 3-1 at Villa Park in 1995 is also a game to remember. This was the birth of the Fergie Fledglings. The time when Alan Hansen eat humble pie by claiming you can never win anything with kids.
Aston Villa has provided us with some quality players notably Dwight Yorke. Dwight Yorke transfer to Manchester United in 1998 was one of the catalyst for the Treble in 1999.
Ashley Young has also performed quite well since his transfer in 2011..
Mark Hughes also played for the two teams.
I hope they will not stay too long in the championship.
