Happy 50th Gary Shaw (actually his 51st!)
« on: January 21, 2012, 03:09:59 PM »
But how the hell can you be 50 today! Makes me feel very old.

If only he hadn't had those injuries. I've always wondered what kind of career he would have had.

51 even! Mick Martin on TodayFM commentary just mentioned that he bumped into him doing media duty before the game.

He only looked 12 when he was playing  ;D
When you think we've lost some flippin' good players to injury, Gary being 1 plus Brian Little and Keith Leonard another 2 that spring to mind.

Gosh, just older than me. Used to love it when him and Geddis played up front as always thought they looked dead cool together...all those blonde flowing locks used to look particularly nice against our all white away strip...

Brian and Gary were my first 2 Villa heroes. I started wondering if I was a jinx.

Same here, he has a EC and Championship medal which is something, but the most natural finisher in a Villa shirt i have seen, sublime touch
