Nobody has mentioned Harry Burrows and his ferocious shooting. Gutted when he left for Stoke

Loved Harry B he was the star of the side when i first started going.

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.
I'd never have thought it, Godfrey ...

The fan base was up in arms when Villa were chasing Ray Graydon from Bristol Rovers and they wouldn't let us have him unless they got BG.
Reluctantly we agreed......Didn't turn out too bad in the end.

I think it was partly because, being about a foot shorter than everybody else on the pitch, he was the only player a 6-7 year old me felt confident of being able to identify from the stands.

Ian Taylor. Chuffed he got to score in a winning final for us.  Hope Jack gets to do the same.
