Platt, Yorke and McGrath were brilliant signings. Chose us and took us up and then left for the job he really wanted. Great football man.

Arguably our best 3 players over the last 30 years

I'm struggling to think of any better. 

Benteke, Milner and Laursen close behind I'd say, but not better.

Really sad the man who made me fall in love with the Villa.
Really lovely gentleman, I bumped into him outside Villa Park and couldn't believe he found time to talk to me. Made the 3 best signings (I believe of any Villa manager). Platt was amazing as a proper box to box midfielder, Yorke I just loved the way he played the game with a smile on his face and McGrath what can be said about the man that hasn't been said a million times before, what a gamble he was.

RIP Sir Graham thanks for making my early Villa supporting years the best of my life.

The man who saved the club from oblivion and stood up to Doug. A true Villa Man in the mould of Brian Little.

An Everton fan at work just came running in to tell me.  Awful, awful news, the first celebrity death that has made me feel sick to my stomach.  In my head he'll always be about 50.

Truly heartbreaking news. To lead our great club from relegated in bottom place to runners up in the top flight a mere 3 years later was an absolutely incredible achievement.

He gave me some of my greatest days supporting the Villa.

Absolute legend.

RIP Sir Graham.
