Good article. Very sad, but it's also worth remembering that he spent virtually his whole life involved in football, which he loved.
He had a great life.

Lovely piece Dave. I hope people outside of Villa and Watford will now regard him like we do.

Thanks for taking the time in writing, great article.
What a sad day.
Amazing amount of coverage today, deserved but I didn't expect it.

This is really insightful and a lovely piece. I particularly enjoyed the fact he reacted with humour and pleasantness in the anecdote you kindly shared. This is great for you to have a witness and no doubt Graham is smiling and you sharing the tell. Thanks .
