Billy McNeill RIP

Billy McNeill has passed away aged 79. Obviously not a great figure in our history but still a significant figure in British football. RIP.

It’s always sad when pioneers of the game pass on and as the first Captain of a British team to win the EC he was certainly that.

However his tenure at the Villa was a disaster and I always had the impression he cared for us about as much as I care for Runcorn.

Part of the history of Aston Villa, a little ignominiously perhaps but part of it all the same.  RIP Billy, you were a superb player.

Considered by many to be Scotland's greatest ever captain and also captain of the Lisbon Lions. Yet another ex footballer who suffered from dementia.

RIP Billy, a major influence in the history of Scottish football. Just happened to be a bit shit in his short time at the Villa.
