Fantasy Villa Team No. 7: Players with their own songs

We may be courting controversy here.

How can we possibly pick a fantasy team based on players with their own songs and not include Spinksy, Birchy and Alan McInally?

How can we pick ANY Villa team with Barry Bannan in it?

Well, it's our team, so we can. Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah! Pick your own if you don't like it.

In goal, we just had to plump for "The Aussie Bozzie". Who doesn't miss singing that?

We've cheated at full back by having two right backs. Including "he's got no hair but we don't care" Chrissy Chrissy Price was a must, while we consider "He's hard, he's game, we can't pronounce his name, Dariusz, Dariusz" to be a little known classic.

God is not even up for debate, while the much loved Cuellar had two songs that would have qualified, though some of the Holte Enders we've seen singing "I'd let you shag my wife" looked as if they'd never even had a girlfriend. Ho-hum.

It's a pity we can only sing "Who needs Barry when we've got Barry Bannan" ironically these days, because it's a cracker, Ashley Young "is fuckin' dynamite" is up there with the very best and for sheer simplicity, "Sid, Sid, Sid, Sid" earns it's place in our line up.

"Deano scores and he wants some more" was a must as was "he's bigger than me and you" but pride of place goes to "Six Foot Two, Eyes of Blue, Sammy Morgan's after you, la la la, la la la, la laaaaaaaa!!!!!!"

Fantasy Villa Team No.4: 'ello John, gotta new motor?

Well, we thought, this one would be dead easy. John is a fairly common name, or so we'd imagined; pulling together a fantasy Villa team full of Johns should have been a total doddle, right?

Wrong!

There doesn't seem to be a single John on the entire current playing staff. We could - at a push - have included Jean II Makoun, but if three successive managers have ignored him, why should we be any different?

John appears to have been most popular with 70s era players so a large chunk of our squad comes from that decade. We had to have Budgie of course, total legend; John Gidman was shoo in at right back and the much missed John Robson gets the call at left back. Struggling for centre halves, we've gone back to the 1920s for Scottish hero John Johnstone.

In the middle of the park we use utility man John Gregory, flanked by Sixties wing wonder Johnny MacLeod and legendary 19th Century Captain Fantastic John "Jack" Devey.

We'll take any excuse to sing "He's bigger than me and you" hence Carew's starring role along with FA Cup hero Johnny Dixon and part of Villa's exciting mid-seventies forward line, John Deehan.

Frankly there weren't many options. There just aren't as many Johns as you'd think.
