Alan Hutton spent 8 years on Aston Villa's books making 185 appearances in claret & blue and scoring 3 goals - one of which would certainly fall into the 'iconic' category!

Hutton describes his time at Aston Villa as a 'rollercoaster' and says that a difficult spell under Paul Lambert was the 'hardest 2 years' of his career. Spells on loan at Mallorca and Nottingham Forest finally lead to the redemption story that peaks in a promotion to the Premier League.

This, is Alan Hutton's Aston Villa story, in his own words.
