20 years ago today - Brian Tiler killed

Did we have some kind of link-up with Portland Timbers? Vic Crowe? Phil Woosnam? Eric Woodward? The other day I saw some site or blog with a Timbers team lineup and about 9 of them were ex-Villa. I think there was Willie Anderson, Barry Lynch, Rowan and also Ray Martin (who was a Villa apprentice before moving to B9).

Or does an H&V mod appear at this point and write in red à la VT Off topic?

I suppose it was a case of one or two of them being there and the rest going where their mates were established. I would also guess Portland was a decent place to spend the summer.

I've still got the programme from when we played Bournemouth away in the season we came back up under GT. I'm sure Brian Tiler wrote the chairman's notes in there. Did'nt realise he used to play for us.
