Went to his house once with work. He wasn't in, his mate was. He drove a yellow jag. When he left us I remember him saying that Bolton was to provincial for him to stay.

I remember Sasa for two things that goal against Chelsea and this

Mad as a box of frogs that fucker

I remember seeing a video on pissed up doing his best Stuart McCall impression

It was a yellow BMW M3 and TOMO lived there either before or after him

He was a nutter but we made a load of cash off him.

I remember him for us getting Frandsen and Johansson as replacements 

I remember folk saying that they've had it with the Wanderers when they sold the terrace hero. Never going down again. Sack the board & manager they cried. Sounds familiar doesn't it.

I remember Toddy getting a dogs abuse off some at Port Vale on the opening day... seemed to stop once we beat the massives on the Tuesday 🤔

I remember screaming Judas at him getting off the Villa team coach.

My most gut wrenching point as a kid watching Bolton was when we sold sasa.

It was like the end of the world

“Salsa Curcic is a illegitimate, he ain’t got no, birth certificate” we sang at that match, I remember our dug out laughing

If it wasn't for Sasa, Vernon Kay would (probably) never have become famous

I was watching Independence Day at Walkden flea pit when I heard the news. Was devastated, his debut, his games at Leicester and Bradford in the respective cups... Cult hero

Funny what things you remember as a youth. That song, Scott Sellars getting pelters off a bloke who was Radcliffe Juniors coach at my age group, and the Frandsen and Johansen’s debuts in that dark green kit!

He was on that model show wasn’t he? 

Remember stadning next to him away at Oxford when he’d made it to presenter on Uk play with that bird out of elastica 

Vernon who?

I remember a Villa fan telling me they only signed Curcic because Savo Milosevic was homesick and they needed a Serb to keep him company. I was gutted when he left.

The Milosevic story is actually true, and was widely reported at the time.

I vividly recall a pre-season game at Atherton and Gerry Taggart yelling “Sasa, pass the fucking ball, you greedy ****”.

Was gutted when he left. Couldn’t envisage what was to come for us or him.

aye

it went along the lines:

Vernon spots Sasa in Ritzy's on his own so goes over and says hello

Sasa tells Vernon he'll buy him drinks if he introduces him to girls

Sasa starts ringing Vernon all the time saying he's bored and wants to go out, so they do, free night out every time as all Sasa wants to do his letch over birds and buy champagne all night

this continues when he moves to Villa

one day he tells him to come down to Birmingham as he has tickets to the clothes show at the NEC, where Vernon gets spotted by a talent scout of some modelling agency

same agency does a fly on the wall documentary about their young models that is on ITV or something

TV people spot Vernon on it, like him, and offer him TV gigs

without Sasa, he's nothing
