I don't know if anyone else has posted somewhere else, but I have just heard of the passing of Harry Gregory.
Harry was signed in our third division days, a striker who Vic Crowe converted to a midfielder and made captain in our first season in the third, he started really well but tailed off and was eventually sold to Hereford with Dave Rudge.
His best moment in a Villa shirt came in a 3-0 home win over Swansea, Harry thumping the ball in front of the Witton Lane into the net, and hugged a policemen behind the goal, knocking off his hat!
The game was on ITV's Star Soccer at the time, though no footage exists now.
Harry was a jovial man who I met the season before last and was a true gentleman who loved his brief time at Villa and was truly amazed so many people remembered him.
RIP Harry, another Holte Ender in the sky.
