Yet he achieved more in two years than almost every footballer that's ever been ever does or will do.

We'd have lost him to Citeh or Chelsea in 1979, and Sid, in current times if that makes sense.

At least lets replace him with Sergio Aguero then.

Perfect sense. There's no way the Gordon Cowans of 1977-80 would have stayed with a club who'd finished no higher than seventh.

Such a wonderful player, he made things look so easy, he was a natural born goalscorer but had great talent and confidence in his own ability. Not only did he win more than most can ever wish for, he lived the dream, doing it with the team he supports.

Happy birthday, Gary (and give my regards to Eric).

It's that time of the year when I bore you good folks, but he is the reason I supported Villa as a 5 year old. Achieved so much, but also left the question of what if.

I was at Bristol City in 1979 when, as a teenager he scored a hat-trick.  I'm convinced he was about to be subbed when he got the first goal then, everything he touched turned to gold.  Happy birthday Gary, thanks for the memories.

54? No chance. Some people will be forever 21, with a blonde wedge and a long-sleeve Umbro shirt.

First saw him in the 1978 Youth Cup Final, which we lost to Crystel Palace. We were pretty dismal but two players stood out for us, Ivor Linton and Gary, who was like quicksilver.
