He was nearing the end of his career at the time, but we got a bit out of Cyrille Regis in the couple of seasons he was with us.

I'd give the job back to Big Ron in the morning. Even after all these years, I'd take him over Bruce any day of the week.
Hillsborough 1991 - first game of the seasonhttps://youtu.be/8SvbANXsTRI Highlights (times approximate) : 6m50 Cyrille Regis debut goal8m30 Dalian Atkinson goal9m52 Spink great save11m30 Steve Staunton galloping up the pitch to receive the ball from Atkinson for the winner12m25 can just hear us singing the BFR song - I remember it being sung the whole game that day for Ron's first game.Other highlights - Roger Milford's hair, a screamer from david Hurst for Wednesday, Trevor Francis whining in the post match interview.Big Ron's suit and shades - now that's a manager !!!!
What a screamer by David Hurst for the first goal...And Francis coming on as a substitute, that must have been one of the last times that there was a player-manager in the top flight...A great game, as you might expect from two BFR teams playing each other...

And bollocked someone for a mis placed pass, much to the amusement of Villa Park.
