Going back to an earlier question, what year did a player called Never score for Aston Villa in a final?

No idea mate, heard it numerous times by Villa fans in Wales over the years. If its bull**** I appologise but its better to admit rather than igronance

[Saturday Boy]

No, definitely not. Middle names that aren't normally used not allowed!

Lucky we never signed Pele, he might have have been the answer to both the longest and shortest names, but ruled out by the video ref!

Thanks for replying to me when it would have been easy not to bother. I first heard the question about 30 years ago but no-one's ever backed up the question by giving details of the final when the event occurred. Possibly never happened:greengrin.

[ballengeich]
