Title: Mike Tindall RIP
Post by: Villa Lew on August 11, 2020, 09:55:48 AM

Mike Tindall, 79, played for Villa from 59 to 68 making 136 appearances, one of the Mercer Minors. Played several times for England youth team, but never fulfilled his potential, but nevertheless a popular player.

RIP

Apparently was being linked with England selection in 1964, then broke his leg at WHL. He was never the same player again.

Fine player.  Lacked a turn of speed that the coaching of later times would have given him.  Pleasure to watch him with Alan Deakin and John Sleeuwenhoek in Joe Mercer's team.

Amongst my earliest memories. Mercer's Minors. Tindall, Slogger, Deakin. Loved them all. Rest easy Mike.

Another former player with possible Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (see Astle and Cowans?).

I think I saw him play only a couple of times but for those with better memories wasn’t Mike Tindall known for giving evangelical speeches around St Martins church after he retired from football of am I getting confused with another player from that era?

RIP

He was. He became a born-again Christian and spent time as a missionary.

Was sad to hear the death of Mike Tindall He was part of the team when i first started watching the villa in the mid 60s .He was a decent player and looked set to go on to play for England until he broke his leg at Tottenham .Came back and i remember him scoring a brilliant goal at Burnden Park Bolton but sadly he was never as good as he was R I P Mike
