Bredbury Blue Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Such great news to see Stan, who announced his retirement from the game in May 2013, make his first Aston Villa appearance in more than four years as Roberto Di Matteos team defeated the Austrian side Gak 1902 8-0. Petrov, 37, played the full second half as Villa cruised to victory against their Austrian sixth-tier opponents, stepping up his remarkable comeback since beating leukaemia.The Bulgaria midfielder last turned out for Villa in March 2012, before retiring due to his illness. He confirmed his plan to return earlier this year, and joined Villas first team for pre-season training last week. Well done Stan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
