Legend Gordon Cowans is the latest big name to take part in our popular live chat series.Following the success of fan interaction with James Collins, Ashley Young, Darren Bent, Jean II Makoun and General Krulak, supporter favourite Cowans has decided to time out of his busy schedule to join the media team in a Q&A.Sid will be online and interacting with fans for an hour at 6.30pm* on Wednesday alongside web editor Paul Brown.We are expecting massive interest as the midfield hero goes through questions one-by-one.Feel free to ask questions about a host of topics - his three spells at the club, the European Cup win, his new coaching role and working with boss Gerard Houllier.Sid has achieved so much during his time in claret and blue so there should be no shortage of teasers for the star name.Not only is Sid one of the club's greatest-ever players, he is also one of the most engaging and nicest men you are likely to meet - so the live chat should be incredibly interesting.Cowans will always be remembered as Villa's Prodigal Son. He left the club three times - and on each occasion he returned.He was always destined to wear claret and blue, having been on schoolboy forms at Villa Park from the age of 12, which probably explains why he was always tempted back.He graduated through the club's reserve and youth system before being handed his first taste of senior football in 1976, when he went on as a substitute against Manchester City at Maine Road.By the end of the following season he was a first team regular as well as having won a League Cup medal following a dramatic victory over Everton in the second replay of a marathon 1977 final.Between 1979 and 1983, he did not miss a single match as he became an integral figure in the most successful period of the club's history, adding League Championship, European Cup and European Super Cup medals to his collection.His long unbeaten appearance run came to an end when he broke his leg in a pre-season friendly, causing him to miss the whole of the 1983-84 campaign.In 1985, he joined Italian club Bari but was brought back to Villa Park by Graham Taylor three years later.Once again he excelled, helping Villa to finish runners-up to Liverpool in 1990.Later that year Taylor, having been appointed England manager, handed Cowans his 10th and final cap.Cowans returned to the club as a coach and now presides over training current stars as first team coach.Make sure you get involved in the live chat by quizzing the star name.*Subject to change
