SUPPORT STAN

#19

It was a very sad day for me and footballing fans alike after Stiliyan Petrov announced yesterday his retirement from football.

As a Villa fan I admired our Captain and I would like to wish him and his family all the best for the future. 

You can read the full statement from Stan on the Official Villa website, just click the link below.

Statement by Villa club captain Stiliyan Petrov

I wish I was able to be at Villa Park tomorrow to stand with every fan in the stadium and applaud my Captain not only to see Stan lead out the teams or the 19th minute but the whole game and the lap of honour afterwards.

Here is my tribute to the Villa Captain, Hero, Legend, Immortalised in Subbuteo form with 'Support Stan' on the front and 'Petrov 19' on the back of his shirt.

INGLÊS FAZ ARTE COM BONECOS DE SUBBUTEO

Subbuteo In Brazil

O subbuteo é um jogo de futebol de mesa muito popular na Europa. Mais até que o futebol de botão praticado no Brasil. É jogado com o dedo, empurrando bonecos contra uma bolinha em direção a pequenas traves. Apaixonado pelo passatempo, o inglês Terry Lee resolveu fazer arte com subbuteo. E o resultado é fantástico.

A great article about my Subbuteo creations from the great Verminosos Por Futebol website in Brazil. Please click on the link below for the full article.

Luis Suarez

Luis Suarez

Here is a request from @Judeykins an avid Liverpool and Luis Suarez fan.

Judy wanted to immortalise her favourite Luis Suarez celebration where he is kissing his wrist and here is the result.

A very controversial player in the footballing world who is greatly admired by the Red side of Liverpool for his free goal scoring. He is currently leading the goal scoring charts in the Premiership and is a transfer target for every top club in Europe.

Kevin Davies - Happy Birthday

Kevin Davies

These two figures were a request from Kevin Davies' wife Emma Davies as a present for his birthday today (26-03-13)

The first figure shows Kevin Davies on his début for England against Montenegro in 2010.

At the age of 33, Davies was called up to the England squad for the first time in his career for the Euro 2012 qualifying game against Montenegro on 12 October 2010. He made his début as a second half substitute for Peter Crouch and received a yellow card. At 33 years and 200 days, he became the oldest England debutant since the 38 year old Leslie Compton in 1950.

The second figure shows Kevin Davies celebrating his second goal against Leeds in October 2012.

Kevin joined Bolton in 2003 and has made over 403 first team appearances and scored over 85 goals to date. 

On 12 April 2008, Davies scored his 100th career goal in a 1–0 win over West Ham United at the Reebok Stadium, despite dislocating a finger during the match and having it placed back into its socket allowing him to play on.

On 31 January 2009, Davies became Captain of Bolton Wanderers following the sale of Kevin Nolan to Newcastle United. The same day, Davies' first game as Captain saw him score two goals in Bolton's 3–2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur as well as equalling his record for goals in a Premier League season. In the following game, at home against West Ham United, he scored his 50th goal for Bolton, and his 10th of the season.

Bolton Wanderers Player of the Year: 2003–04, 2007–08, 2008–09

Kevin Davies also has a charity to help the Kids of Bolton, please click on the link below for more details and to see how you can help:

Paul Gascoinge 'Dentist Chair' Celebration

Paul Gascoigne

A request for the infamous 'Dentist Chair' Celebration

In the second game of the Euro 96 tournament, against Scotland, Gazza scored a memorable goal. Gascoigne received the ball from Darren Anderton outside the Scotland penalty area, moved as if to play the ball down the outside, but flicked the ball over Colin Hendry with his left foot and changed direction; Hendry was completely wrong-footed and, as the ball dropped, Gascoigne volleyed it with his right foot past Andy Goram. 

The great goal was followed by the 'Dentist's chair' celebration referring to an incident before the Euro 1996, where England team players were photographed on a drunken night with Gascoigne, Teddy Sheringham and Steve McManaman shown drinking in a dentist's chair. After the goal Gascoigne lay on the ground as if he were sitting in the dentist's chair, and Shearer, MnManaman and Redknapp sprayed water from bottles into his open mouth.
