I'm biased, of course, but Peter should be talked about far more often as one of Northern Ireland's greatest players.  A belated Happy Birthday to a top player and top Villan.

Legend is a word bandied around very easily these days but this guy is one. Never had the pleasure of seeing him play but read a lot about it.

Without any doubt the greatest player to pull on the shirt of Aston Villa post war. Fast, extremely powerful, and a goal threat from the left wing and centre forward for Villa and Northern Ireland.

My dad maintains to this day that Mac was the best he has seen at Villa.

I really hope that on May 30th the players take the field and approach their task with the mentality he did in the 1957 Final.

Do that an we can finally win 'IT' - a fitting tribute to the Big Man.

Happy Birthday to an All Time Villa Great.
