Brian Little - my sporting life.

10.00 PM tomorrow night (20/12) talksport. Sir Brian talks about his career with the excellent Danny Kelly. Should be worth a listen.

[Clampy]

I saw him a few months ago at a supporters club Q&A. He was excellent and a genuinely nice bloke.

[Malandro]

Nice bloke and a bit of bloody hero in my eyes.

[dave.woodhall]

It really should be on next Friday.

[Percy McCarthy]

It really should be on next Friday.

He shouldn't have to work on his birthday.

He scored  so  many important goals for us, so  must never be pushed aside when talking about Villa top strikers. 

Just wished he had played in a different era  where his talents would have had a higher profile. 

Better than  average manager as well.  What more do you want.

[eamonn]

Is he a good raconteur with jokes and bantz?

[conman]

what a lovely man

[Deano's Mullet]

Him and BFR my favourite managers. Brians team arguably more consistent and solid between 1995-97 and was a joy to be a supporter back then.

[dave.woodhall]

Is he a good raconteur with jokes and bantz?

He is omnipotent.

[Ger Regan]

Not to worry, that doesn't seem to hold Pele back much.

[ChicagoLion]

True Hero and I think Legend (which is used to often) is fair when considering Brian Little.

Brian's teams were more consistent. Our only consecutive top 5 finishes since the early 30s stops it being any kind of argument.

When I still had good eyesight Sir Brian was one of the two Villa player's I could always tell from their eyes where the shot was going. He would gather the ball, do his shimmy, look up then plonk the ball right where he had looked. Wally Walters was the other one. He had great big eyes he would open wide like a great white shark and roll them in the trajectory the ball would take.

I once pulled the leg of the friend who sits to my right. I said I still had the gift despite all my eye surgery but there was only one player whose shots I could read. Who? He said. Tonev I replied.
