Bruce Rioch
When I asked for a number to be sewn on the back of my first Villa shirt (early 70s with blue lion), I was told that because the white tape in my mum's sewing box was straight it could only be numbers 4, 7 or 11. I chose 4 and with it Bruce Rioch.

Brian Godfrey- a gritty, hardworking, determined and fearsome yet skillful member of the pretty poor Villa sides when I started following the team as a kid in the sixties. Captain of the '71 League Cup Final side.
