Quote from: old man villa fan on November 30, 2016, 08:22:07 AMCould have been an all time great. He had the instinct of Greaves in the penalty area. Considering his size, he was very strong with the ball played up to him. His touch in playing in Withe and Morley was exceptional.Like he plays in Dennis Mortimer for the second here.https://youtu.be/ldOT57FtsIc

As mentioned before he was 1982 European Young Player of the Year, that's how good he was. Wish him a speedy recovery, fantastic talent
As with many of our own he also got a lot of stick at times from part of the crowd.

I don't recall that at all. Where and when? He did. I remember we were playing Bristol City away, I think it was Boxing Day 1979. He was playing poorly and the some of our fans' were giving him some stick. Then, bang! hat-trick. No more stick, surprisingly.
For the record he was not a bad cricketer and would turn our for a local club regularly he brought the League Cup to the clubhouse for all the local kids to see and have photos taken
