From twitter:
horrible story breaking about ex-Parma & Aston Villa striker Savo Milosevic; his father has apparently been shot dead by his grandfather.
-
blimey. That would be very sad if true.
-
So we now know that the accurate shooting gene didn't make its way down two generations.
-
****** joke on two levels.
1. He was class and I wish he was still here now.
2. You can guess the other and I am being a hypocrite taking exception!
-
RIP.
-
If its true then RIP. Savo was my first hero and I remember my parents tricking me into getting savo on the back of my shirt instead of Milosivic!
Hope he's dealing well with this, well as best as he can anyways
-
Thoughts are with Savo and his family.
I liked him. Well I liked him looking back but he drove me up the wakk when he was here.
-
Oh dear. That's terrible news.
My thoughts are with Savo and family at this dreadful time.

Terrible news RIP.
-
Shame it wasn't Savo with the gun, he'd have missed & the bloke would have survived.
RIP
-
His goal at Wembley is etched into my brain. I'll remember that long after I've forgotten my own name and where I live.
-
Savo was one of the most talented footballers I have seen in my time supporting Villa. This is very sad news indeed and very tragic that family disputes can end in this way however disputes over property in some parts of the world do rip families to pieces.
As said this is time of unbearable pain for the family and my best wishes are with Savo.

Aren't you a teacher? You'd have clipped one of your young lads' ear for that comment.
-
What a horrible thing to happen. Jesus.

Dunce's cap for Top Deck.
Go and stand in the corner, boy.

Agreed - awful for the families concerned.
There are probably statistics somewhere proving you're more likely to be murdered by a family member than a stranger.
The other high profile father/son shooting that springs to mind is Marvin Gaye.

Sad news, RIP.

Same for me. Was my favourite player for the whole time he was at Villa Park and if we'd been employing Lorna McClelland whilst he was with us then I believe he'd have done even better for us. Sad news.
-
Sad news to hear my thoughts are with Savo and family at this moment in time.
-
One of my favourite players at Villa. Thoughts are with you Savo...
-
very sorry to hear this - thoughts go out to Savo and his family RIP

I had the best view in the stadium of that goal. I knew as soon as it left his boot it was going in.
-
I think (just me) I had the best view sitting behind the goal at "our end" the opposite end slightly left to the goal as you look on the pitch right in line with Savo let the left foot go I jumped up. Brilliant. Spinky was sitting two rows behind me said he would have saved it!!
-
He had one of the best left foots I've seen at VP. Supremely talented - he was just a little young for us to see the best of him.
37 goals in 102 internationals is not to be sniffed at either.

Yes I was sitting in the same area! I had no idea Spinky was sitting near me though!
-
He scored one of the best goals ever at wembley. I remember the stick he used to get and then went and lamped that ball in the net at wembley , it was one of my highest moments as a villa fan when that went in , I went absolutely crazy... I was so happy for him ..
RIP
-
That goal at wembley is my favourite moment ever as a villa fan. I bloody loved Savo.
-
Real value for money watching Savo and Yorkie every week for the Villa. I couldn't wait for matchday to come around in those days.
Best wishes to Savo and family at this terrible time for them.
-
Jesus.
RIP.

Jesus.
RIP.
Nah, Jesus will be back in three days, don't worry.

Boom boom boom let me hear you say Savo
I was sat with the Leeds fans as this was the only way I could get a ticket through my brothers work, as a 14 year old I was pretty exctiable when that shot went in and had to be physically restrained by my brother for about 20 minutes afterwards!
RIP

Thoughts are with Savo and his family
-
My daughter was chosen to be the mascot at the Newcastle United Home game in January 1997. The chaperone who Villa put with my daughter introduced Stacie to Savo and she told him that he was Stacie's favourite player. With that Savo took over the chaperone role and took her onto the pitch for the warm up , got her autograph book filled with both Villa and Newcastle signatures. and after she'd led the Villa out with Andy Townsend,she and Savo took practice at Bossie. Despite what happened later on in his Villa career he is still a top bloke round here. My thoughts are with him and his family.
-
Jesus.
RIP.
Nah, Jesus will be back in three days, don't worry.
Stop Press : Jesus resigns, SKYBET odds on next Villa Manager tumble
...
A real shame for Savo.
He drove me absolutely nuts when he played for us. Looking back, it was more than a bit unfair. He joined us at more or less the same age that a number of youngsters emerged last year to cries of 'golden generation'.
Even the transfer fee didn't explain it. We've spent more on and got less from other young players, and still been far more patient.
A legend for scoring the goal against Leeds, which he did do, and also for spitting on fans at Blackburn, which he didn't.
Without wishing to be unkind, I get the feeling this could only happen to Savo.
-
gutted for the bloke!
boom boom boom let me ya say savo SAVOOOOO
-
His ability as a ball carrier was one of the best I've ever seen in a villa shirt. Shame I can't say the same about his shooting.
RIP and best wishes
-
Do you think Savo would be even better with our team today ? and shame about his father. He is underrated
-
Jesus.

Did he not spit on the fans away at Blackburn? I wasn't there but remember all the fuss at the time and vaguely remember some footage?
-
He spat at them.
