Olaf Mellberg

[Doogie Browser]

A fantastic gesture by a great man.
There will always be a cynical reaction by certain elements to his gesture, but we all know if for instance Giggs had done the same the press would be fawning over him yet Mellberg hardly got a mention in the papers.  Great move by Olof who rightly earns his place in a long line of Villa greats, he always hated the Blues which particularly endeared him to the fans.
Will be a big loss as his versatility basically meant he was comfortable on any of the back 4 positions, going to play Centre Half with Juventus according to O'Neill, I am sure he will slot in with great ease.
