I worked on the players entrance back in the days when Platt was our hero - he always had time for fans and gave autographs. When he came back from Italia 90 after scoring the goal against Belgium he had changed significantly. He had agents all around him loads of media people following him and he became a real big time Charlie.
I read somewhere once that he was to be the huge media darling until Gazza had a bit of a cry
Fantastic player - one of the best i have ever seen for Villa - shit head as a person
