met him once in a Birmingham nightclub and he was genuinely friendly. We were both at the bar and when i mentioned that I was a Villa fan he pulled out a flute and poured some of the champagne that he'd bought and gave it to me. Was more than happy chatting away and you could tell he was, well, genuine. Terrible loss for his family and friends. I said Dalian and Ugo but also Sir Graham. 3 top people as well as Villamen.
RIP UGO. Excellent player for us.Do I remember an H&V cover with Ugo on? Something along the lines 'just when you thought it was safe here comes Ugo' (in reference to him replacing Teale or McGrath).I'm sure I didn't imagine it - can someone post it (if I'm not going mad)
A spontaneous chant of "Ugo!" for 60 seconds in the 5th/16th minute?
