If anyone can find footage of Platt’s hat-trick v Spurs in a 3-2 home win, that shows Sid’s talent as well as anything I’ve seen. I watched it the other day and now I can’t find it.

I also remember his debut at Villa Park. He made what was to become his trademark, a sliding tackle with trailing leg under his backside, so that he came out of the tackle running with the ball at his feet. We were stunned by the sight of it .
Even on SHA, nothing but sympathy and praise for him as a player/coach/person. That says a lot, given their usual opinion of Villa players.
