Robert Hopkins.

Hopkins was a member of the ultra-violent team that Ron Saunders put together when he was manager at the Sty. There was a name for five of that team who liked to go around town, looking for Villa fans and the occasional pinch-up, but I can't remember what it was.

Word was that Ron brought in Des Bremner for his obvious qualities as a player, but also as a calming influence on the head-cases.

Any chance of a little bit of respect please?

Sorry but just like the twat that hit Grealish i only have sympathy for their families for their loss - the individuals wont be missed

I don't normally buy a programme but on this occasion I did and there was a very low-key mention of his passing - I wonder why that was....

I've had the pleasure of meeting Des and what a pleasant man he was. An absolute credit to himself and Scotland.

A pure gent.  A thoroughly nice man.

Saw him make his full debut at Notts County, if memory serves me correctly Tony Barton dropped Tony Morley and Hopkins started- we lost 4-1

Terrible Villa performance

RIP

I was also at that game, an absolute shocker. Saw Hopkins play a few times, definitely had an edge to him. RIP
