Gutted. A proper football and Villa hero to me and so many others. Rest in Peace.

World is a bit darker now. RIP Gary, you were something special.

On the day the team set off on a new campaign in Europe it seems cruel we lose a man that helped make our greatest ever journey possible.

I’m sat at my desk reading this with tears in my eyes, and I’d imagine most of you are the same.

RIP Gary. You will always be a Villa legend.

And only 63 years old :'(

Deeply sad news. Thanks for the memories Gary. Top lad. Top player. We've lost a legend and a true "one of our own" RIP Gary. HEITS.

Withe and Shaw but appropriate in memory.

[Stu]

RIP Gary Shaw. Before my time, just, but a legend from a golden age, a player still looked up to by those of us who came of age after his exploits on the pitch.

RIP Gary.

His partnership with Peter Withe was up there with the best!
