Dean Ashton was developing into a really good player when he went to West Ham, almost the complete forward although his pace had went and he wasn't the most mobile by then but in terms of link up play, vision, technical skills and an eye for goal, he was decent in all aspects. He idolised Shearer by the way. We had him watched loads of times when he was at Crewe, mind so did most of the league. He had back problems and other niggly injury issues though. A real shame his career was cut short just as he was on the verge of becoming an England player too.

 

Not a patch on Collins John though...

 

Or Jon Stead!

Steve Sidwell

 

One of the most ineffectual players I've ever seen played for Villa. Genuinely, I can't remember anything he did for us EXCEPT when he was warming up as a sub (waiting for MON to stick him on on 75 minutes) at home to Hull, the ball went out for a throw, Sidwell caught it, chucked it to Warnock who threw it quickly to Milner who lobbed the Hull keeper who was picking his arse crack on the edge of the area, all the time in the world.

 

Totally, totally anonymous for us.
