Phil King - Defender Date of Birth: December 28, 1967 Birthplace: Bristol Nationality: English Height: 1.73m / 5'8" Previous Clubs: Sheffield Wednesday Joined Villa: August 1, 1994 Acquisition Price: £250.000 Debut: 1994 Left Villa (for): March 26, 1997 (Swindon) Transfer fee: Free transfer

Ever since King arrived from Sheffield Wednesday, he has had problems making it to the first team. There are enough defenders at Villa at the moment, so the competition is tough. He hasn't appeared for the Villa in 2 seasons now, among other things due to a long term injury. At the start of the 96-97 season, he looked set to return to Villa's first side. This never happened. He had enough in the end, and on March 26, 1997, he left for Swindon on a free transfer.
