Just been confirmed through a local newspaper that Eamon 'Chick' Deacy passed away. Very sad news, a true gent and by all accounts always gave his all when he played for us. RIP.

Not too sure to be honest. He was delivering fruit and veg when it happened.

Terrible news.

He always gave everything and was an important member of our squad during the golden period of 1980/1982.

RIP Eamon

I think he was a member of the 1982 European Cup squad.  RIP.

Very sad news. Loved him as many other Villa fans did during his short time with us.

A true 110 percenter.

RIP

Really sad news. Eamon was a really nice bloke and very down to earth. He use to use the same snooker club in Erdington and always had time to have a chat. He loved playing for the Villa and i can honestly say he never had a bad word to say about anyone. RIP Eamon

Dreadful news. There was more passion and commitment in one Eamon Deacy tackle than in the whole of yesterday's performance.
