[Legion]

Happy Birthday to the scorer of THAT goal:

[exigo]

Oh, it must be a happy birthday. And it is.

[Big Dick Edwards]

The word legend is used far too casually nowadays, but not in Peter Withe's case. His goals and great all round centre forward play took us to the only league title and European Cup win most of us are going to see in our lifetime. A true Villa great.

[Pete3206]

Nah, overrated   

[darren woolley]

Happy Birthday Peter.

[dave shelley]

Happy birthday big man and, thanks again.

[Steve kirk]

One of our greatest players, Happy Birthday King Peter

[Witton Warrior]

Happy birthday big man and, thanks again.

Seconded

[Ron Manager]

Very nice man. No airs and graces about Peter Withe. Comes across as a normal bloke the two times I have spoken with him.

[Louzie0]

Happy Birthday, and many happy returns of the day.
Same thoughts as I had with Tony Morley's birthday and the prospect of happy returns for Villa! If only!

[manic-road]

Happy birthday Villa legend Peter Withe.

It seems like only yesterday I was working in a hotel bar down in Devon during my summer holidays before going to uni in 1980 and slagging off the signing of Peter Withe to anyone who would listen. How wrong I was, not for the first or last time by any means

Yes, the reaction to his signing was very much the 'Cleverley' of the day.  With me being one of those that questioned signing a journeyman that Clough thought not good enough to move the Forest team to the next level and not setting the world on fire at Newcastle.  However, Ron saw him as the perfect fit in his team that played in a certain way.  At the end of the day football is a team game and you need players that compliment each other and give variety.  Eleven star names do not make a good team unless they are selected very carefully.

Happy birthday Peter.  You gave me the highlight of a life watching Villa.  You will be remembered forever - now that is a legend.

Good luck with your new managers job at Nakhon Pathom.
