Dwight Yorke voted Villa greatest ever player.
« on: August 03, 2009, 06:29:21 AM »
Greatest: Villa verdict.
Eurosport.

The results are in and we can reveal that, according to Eurosport-Yahoo! readers, the greatest ever Aston Villa player is... Dwight Yorke.
 
The charismatic striker, who scored 97 goals in 231 appearances for Villa in a successful spell at the Midlands club during the 1990s, managed to garner 29 per cent of the vote.

But it was a close run thing, with Gareth Barry taking second place after winning 26 per cent. Perhaps Villa fans have already got over the midfielder's decision to leave Villa Park for Manchester City this summer?

Warhorse Paul McGrath - the only member of our predicted top three to make the actual honours list - came in third with 17 per cent of the vote.

Eurosport-Yahoo! verdict:

1 - Paul McGrath

2 - Gordon Cowans

3 - Pongo Waring

Readers' verdict:

1 - Dwight Yorke 29%

2 - Gareth Barry 26%

3 - Paul McGrath 17%

4 - Andy Gray 15%

5 - Peter Withe 5%

6- Gordon Cowans 4%

7 - Pongo Waring 3%

8 - Billy Walker 3%

That is a great accomplishment...I think this is possibly Dwight's biggest ever honour. Have you any idea how many legends he would have had to beat out to get that award? Especially cause they only got a League cup while he was there as compared to people who led them to leagues and european triumphs?

Dwight will treasure this one...

not to be a wet blanket, but this ain't no great honor..

this is just a website poll of eurosport yahoo readers, most i would speculate are probably of a younger generation, and yorke's name would be the one that jumps out at them being that he's the most recent and recognizable face.. im sure alot of man u fans probably click on his name as well..

wouldve been something more if this was something official from the club, but its just a lil online poll dont put too much weight behind it.

is funny no mention of Saunders (silvio boss) and Atkinson, as the then Manager was benching to regular, Yorke and the next lil speedy youth(was more danger than Yorke) for them 2. Yorkie used to live by that youth and he mother, in the earlies...they would have made the best strike partnership ever, if the manager wasn't biased....then when Yorke say he going ManBoo, the man say he coulda shoot him...if he know how ppl did feel bout he for treating them youths so... I was dancing in the pub when ah hear the news, even for ManBoo  :rotfl:

Yep, he was a borse player. Ironically both of them undermined their talents in different ways.

And Ireland too, he really is a legend.  Either him or Yorke is an excellent choice.
