Best header of a ball you have seen while a Villa player

I'm too young to have seen Hateley & Lochead but old enough to have seen Gray & Withe
what level (division) were the first 2 playing in, as we finished 4th in the league with Gray & won it with Withe

Gray was the best & bravest i've seen, diving headers were a speciality

I reckon Psyco Evans defending headers were poor, he often got underneath the ball, heading it upwards instead of forwards

Hateley was when we were on our way down to division two, Lochhead when we were on our way back up to it.

Have to agree with most that Andy Gray was the bravest header of a ball. Most players wouldn't put their foot where he would put his head. Tony Hateley was our regular centre forward when I started supporting Villa and I've just checked that he scored 68 goals - mostly headers - in 127 appearances. That works out to near enough 23 goals a season when we were constantly in or around the relegation places. I wouldn't mind a bit of that today.
