Building an Aston Villa XI using 11 DIFFERENT nationalities
from Claret & Blue Podcast · host Reach Podcasts
When we talk about these 'all-time' Aston Villa sides, often of the Premier League era, the same 15-20 names crop up every time. To prevent that, Dan Rolinson and Mat Kendrick attempted to build an Aston Villa XI using players from 11 different nations. In a draft style format, the pair took turns to make their selections, with the rules that once a player was taken, they couldn't feature in the opposition team. So that's 11 different nationalities, and two totally different XIs - 22 different players. 🎙🎙 Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ClaretBluePod Dan Rolinson: https://twitter.com/DanRolinson Mat Kendrick: https://twitter.com/MatKendrick John Townley: https://twitter.com/JohnTownley11 Learn more about your ad choices.
