Sir Graham Taylor

I sincerely hope they hold a silence rather than an applause at saturdays game.
For me, it is more powerful, poignant and dignified.

Absolutely.

This day was massive, & the first few seconds sum up SGT. 48k or thereabouts in VP that afternoon (I think!) and the roof nearly came off the Holte when Platt scored. So many other happy memories of those seasons, I was 18/19 that second division season and managed to get 49 games (including the Simod Cup), we were united as a club again and mostly down to one man. Ironic that we have now gone full circle.

Thank you Graham, best appointment we could possibly have made and a man so proud of The Villa x

It was 36k but it felt like 48k!

You're right, my bad as the youth say!

Just fuck off Harris

During the obit feature on Sky Sports News, reference was made to the turnip episode. Whilst this was reasonable to refer to when outlining Graham's time as England manager it was, in my opinion, wrong to crop the name of the newspaper in question from the graphic and refer to it as just "a tabloid"

That was the day when it really felt that Villa were on our way back.

Been reading this website for many years, nothing has ever compelled me to post before but todays terrible news has changed that.I was only young when Sir Graham took over first time around, but he was a big part of the reason I fell in love with the Villa, and for that I will always be grateful.RIP Sir Graham and thank you.

Harry Harris, still in the gutter.

A class act in everything he did,  very very sad  news.

There's been an edict from the EFL to all clubs to hold a minutes applause.  Just depends on whether wolves decide to do it differently.  Unfortunately they will probably too worried about it not being properly observed.

Doing the rounds now that we should change the name of the North Stand to the SGT Stand.  We need to do it.

[Yossarian]

I am not sure I can say anything that nobody has yet said but goodbye to a decent man.

[john2710]

He was a fine man & he brought us back from the brink but it's a no for me.

[The_ads]

Very very upset. What a man.

[E I Adio]

Why not? Who was that North fellow anyway?

[OzVilla]

Just woken up to this news, it's floored me.

Legend is a horribly overused term but he really was a legend at the Villa.

Thank you Sir Graham.
