We only borrowed him from Wolves for a couple of months under The Doc back in 1969 when John Dunn was out of favour.

RIP. Can't think of too many who have played for Villa and Clyde.

Or one who played for second division relegation battlers and European Cup finalists in the same season.

I know. I’ve always found that a wild fact. I remember watching that final as a 7 year old and being amazed a former Villa player was in goal ( I was Villa mad but clever enough to understand why we weren’t on tv very often)

Ha! We weren't much of an attraction in those days, were we?
