He was a great football player and in that period I become an Aston Villa supporter. I hope a day to visit Villa Park. Forza Aston Villa. bye - Giacomo Fri, 22 Feb 2008 14:14:07 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2048/70/#comment-13170 Gordon Cowans. Six stone soaking wet but could tackle like Norman Hunter (if any one can remember him) pass like Glen Hoddle (dont want to remember him!) and shoot like Steve Gerrard. Fantastic player so underated in his time except by Villa fans. wish we had him now. Thanks for the memories and good luck Sid! - moocher Tue, 20 Nov 2007 15:46:27 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2048/70/#comment-12798 Hissing Sid is a living legend true villan - pongowaring Sat, 10 Nov 2007 21:33:55 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2048/70/#comment-12755 I think if we throw Sid some boots he could do a good job for 90 minutes still :P he'd be slow but he's still got the class. - Dizzy Mugs Fri, 09 Nov 2007 09:43:49 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2048/70/#comment-12752 I'll spell it out once more - The whole island of Ireland is part of the British Isles (geographically). However, it is not part of Great Britain politically. What we lack in our midfield now is anyone approaching Sid Cowans. I think Petrov was brought in to provide that role (creativity) but has been found sorely lacking. Mind you, Sid was one-in-a-million. - Baldy Fri, 09 Nov 2007 07:58:09 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2048/70/#comment-12749 Too right..Sid Cowans was a hero and still is. Fair play to Adam for such an in depth post. I'd nearly forgotten some of the great times / players mentioned. UP THE VILLA :) :) - AV33 Thu, 08 Nov 2007 23:59:48 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2048/70/#comment-12746 End of!!!!!! - kieran Thu, 08 Nov 2007 22:23:07 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2048/70/#comment-12745 baldy and dizzy mugs, seriously buy an atlas and look it up, republic of Ireland (paul mcgrath's nation) is not in the U.K or in Great Britain - kieran Thu, 08 Nov 2007 22:22:35 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2048/70/#comment-12734 Well Northern Ireland is But Eire(Ireland Southern)is a seperate country and you need a passport to get in, so no its not part of Britain. Sid was the best midfielder though and still has the skill. - R Dunbar Thu, 08 Nov 2007 14:56:51 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2048/70/#comment-12729 Thankyou for proving me right Baldy ;) - Dizzy Mugs Thu, 08 Nov 2007 11:13:25 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2048/70/#comment-12722 Ireland is part of the British Isles. End of. Sid Cowans was our greatest ever midfielder. End of. - Baldy Thu, 08 Nov 2007 09:39:28 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2048/70/#comment-12654 Apologies to everyone for being so off the point. However i have read a few good reports on Salifoe playing for the reserves and wondered if anyone who had been to the games could give me an honest opinion on how good this boy is. Is he good enough to break into the first team asap? Again sorry for being so far off topic! - Villa4Europe Wed, 07 Nov 2007 04:56:27 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2048/70/#comment-12653 sid is my favourite ever villa player. who could forget his chipped pass to platt for the second goal vs. inter milan. absolute perfection. against some of the best defenders in the game at the time. - bobtrouser Wed, 07 Nov 2007 03:53:01 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2048/70/#comment-12652 no its not in britain no no no britain consists of wales scotland and england thats why it says on your passport great britain and northern ireland and the U.K is england scotland wales and northern ireland maybe you should ask santa for an atlas this year dizzy mugs - Kieran Wed, 07 Nov 2007 01:10:46 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2048/70/#comment-12649 Ireland is in Britain.
