Wishing Tony Morley a very happy 70th Birthday from all at H&V

[simboy]

A great player and a decent man. One of my true heroes when i watched him.

And, 30 years or so later, his lad played in the same kids team as mine. Always happy to chat about old times when asked and still a real class act with the ball at his feet even in his wellies!

Happy birthday Tony

Happy birthday Tony

Welcome to the Oldtimers Brigade!

We got into Goodison just as they kicked off, found ourselves cramped and moved up along the side towards th Gladwys Road end when he let rip with that shot.  I swear to God, it was still picking up speed when it hit the net.

Happy Birthday Tony, and thanks for being nice to me when I met you.

The best winger I have ever seen play for Villa and one of my all time favourite players, great close control, quick feet, loads of pace and such a dynamic player, most of his Villa goals were spectacular, I also loved his up yours celebrations which I'm guessing were always aimed at our Ron, Happy Birthday Tony

Steady on Steve Tony was good but no where near as good as Willie Anderson

[olaftab]

Better?

A bit SSN. Can you amend it back to just "Tone"?

Willie Anderson was one of early heroes when I started going in 67 Olaftab, loved watching him dribble down the wing with that Beatle mop top haircut, really good but not quite as good as Tony

Happy birthday Tony and many happy returns!

Wishing for many happy returns on the pitch, as well, gosh if that were only possible!
Thanks for many happy memories, anyway.

Happy Birthday Tony - my all-time Villa hero. Great bloke too, still talks about Villa with great enthusiasm.

Does anyone else remember Morley being sent off at half time against west brom, then he sat in the dugout with his back to the game for the second half?

[Gregorys Boy]

Could certainly show our current bunch of wingers a trick or two.  one of the all time greats.  Happy Birthday Tony.

Happy Birthday Tony Morley!

A real Villa hero!

And still talks of The Villa as "we" and "us".
Sometimes sounds a bit weird coming with the Scouse accent, but he's one of ours, no problem!

[Rudy65]

One of my favourites as well

Always wanted a perm like his back in 82 but never had the guts.

He tried chatting my girlfriend up ( now my wife) in the Belfry in 1984. I had to step in and told him to behave. He was well pissed.

He was in The Crown at four Oaks last night

A player with flair and vision.

How much would he cost and be able to command in wages these days.

An utter legend. Have a great birthday Tony.

Thanks for the memories,
Nick
