Gordon Cowans - still going

[RamboandBruno]

I saw Sid play a good few times in his first spell but I was very young and those memories are blurry.l, but obviously seen loads of tv footage. My main memories are his second spell and the combination with Platt, unreal. And to think that side also contained McGrath. A truly fantastic player.

I saw him come through into the team. In those championship and European cup winnng years he could hit the badge on the centre of Peter Withes shirt  with either foot from anywhere on the pitch. If anyone has the video of his free kick  goal at Goodison Park in SGT’s last game I’d love to see it. Remarkable technique no pace on the ball just precision and flight.

That's so good to see him looking well.
Made my day already.

Love Gordon Cowans.

[HK Villan]

I was lucky enough to see him in most home games in 1980 / 81 / 82. He had incomparable passing and tackling skills. He was always a true gentleman when I met him - a real Villa legend.

Looks like Jim Walker on the couch next to Sid, who are the other two? (TBH I wouldn't have recognised Walters if the tweet wasn't from his account).

[UK Redsox]

Blimey, I didn’t know Jim was still around. He doesn’t look a lot different

Agree, Legend.

Great interview with Jim by Pete Schaad of The Holy Trinity podcast.

Sid, Dennis Mortimer and Brian Little - there should be a public enquiry into why they got so few caps (in Dennis's case - none at all).

[Brend'Watkins]

I know the lad on the left, and the one next to him.

I know some will consider it small time but shouldn’t we have a few more statues around the stadium? I mean Gordon would be a candidate ? 

[kippaxvilla2]

Kinsella not so much.  Mings in time.  Ronald Saunders?
