Martin Laursen spent five years on Aston Villa’s books.

Joe Lolley has reminded Aston Villa fans of his allegiances toward the club.
The Nottingham Forest attacker is a lifelong supporter of the West Midlands side, culminating in recurring speculation about a move to Villa Park.
And Lolley has shown his affection for Aston Villa once again on Twitter.
A fan account dedicated to the Villans uploaded a video of legendary centre-back Martin Laursen scoring goals for the club.
And Lolley has admitted on social media that he had forgotten how good the Danish defender was once upon a time.
Laursen, now 42, retired from football in 2009 at the age of 31 following a series of long-term injuries.
The big Dane, who won 53 caps for his country, only managed 84 Premier League appearances during a five-year stint with Aston Villa.
But that in itself sums up his impact as a defender, given that he’s so adored by fans of the club and yet managed less than 100 matches.
