Aston Villa posted a video on social media involving forgotten defender Micah Richards on Thursday, and supporters were not happy.

The centre-back moved to Villa Park from Manchester City on a free transfer in the summer of 2015, and was quickly announced as the captain for the 2015/16 Premier League season.
