Title: Ken McNaught
Post by: ez on February 15, 2016, 05:47:05 PM
I saw on the Lions and Legends facebook page that Ken McNaught went into hospital this morning to undergo major heart surgery. All the best Ken.

Edit. As pointed out, Ken's operation today was cancelled and will hopefully go ahead on Thursday.

much more important than the minor difficulties we are facing with our present team.

He was only on the pitch  taking penalties 3 months  ago at Goodison on one of those terrible match days.

Good luck. Not just a damn fine player in his day. He still does a bloody great job commentating as well, he has that ability to figure out exactly what the real issue is in a game and articulate it. I admit to being surprised how much of a tactical brain he has. I hope he comes though.

I bumped into Ken, literally, last season and he was on his way to do some match day sponsors thing but was good enough to give me a minute of his time. He is still a big old craggy unit and there is something strange about this rock of a defender and true Villa legend being mortal enough to be ill - He's one of us and I wish him all the best. Puts the current shite into perspective.

If he is having a heart transplant, he should donate his old one to some of the tossers who played on Sunday, they could do with it.

Get well Ken, the Villa Dreadnaught.

This has just appeared on the Villa Legends Facebook page

To all of the people who sent their love, support and good wishes to big Ken McNaught, Aston Villa European Cup winner. After some false dawns, including being washed, shaved and waiting in a surgical gown only to have his major heart operation cancelled, Ken has been successfully treated today. His wife Maureen has just text to say all went according to plan and he is recovering in the critical care unit. I am sure you will all join me in wishing Ken a rapid full recovery and like me you'll be looking forward to having him back in full circulation as soon as possible and ready to share a glass or two
