Never got to see him play as my first Villa game was 1978 and I think he was either lnjured or may have left by then?
Obviously seen stuff on tv and online over the years and I always remember my step dad raving about him.
Very sad news.....

Sad news, I only remember him when I was a kid for that game against the dirty Albion.
