Fantasy Villa Team No. 5: Eng-ger-lund

Fairly simple criteria for this one, our basic premise was to pick a team largely based on how many England caps our heroes managed to pick up while actually being on Aston Villa's books.

Pizza flogging, penalty missing Gareth Southgate easily comes top of the pile cap wise so despite him eventually buggering off to Middlesbrough "to win things" we're making him captain.

Special Mentions should go to Emile Heskey (12 caps while with Villa), who may well have made our team had we not already decided to shove Ashley Young (15 caps while with Villa) in the forward line rather than wide, while Steve Hodge qualified as of right ahead of Gordan Cowans, but we love Sid and "We Hate Hodge" is still one of our favourite ever chants.

We had heard of Villa legends Billy Walker and Charlie Athersmith but we'll admit we had to Google Sam Hardy and Jimmy Crabtree. If you want to know more, we suggest you do the same. Oddly we could find no footage of the quartet on You Tube...Charlie was a right winger, not a right back but there seems to be a distinct lack of right backs at the top end of the list and hey, him and Milner can always interchange and we can't put John Gidman in every team.

Fantasy Villa Team No.3: The Media Pundits

Okay, we were gonna call this one the TV pundits, but we struggled for a left back so drafted in Pat Heard off the radio.

We've also managed to pick a team featuring Paul Elliott, which is a bit of a worry, but hey he was on  Football Italia so he counts...and we are using Martin Keown, but feel free to throw snowballs at him.

What we couldn't bring ourselves to do was select Tony Cascarino. Yeah, we know it was over twenty years ago but we still have nightmares. Fortunately, Brian Little does a bit of punditry for Setanta Sports over in Ireland so he qualifies. We seriously considered Frank McAvennie for a moment there.

The Aussie Bozzie is a  regular Premier League pundit as any of you that have watched those 3pm games in those naughty pubs will know, while the excitable Paul Merson remains the best thing on TV.
