Sad to learn that ex-Villa, midfielder Gordon Cowans has been diagnosed with early stages of Alzheimers Disease. He was a top class player who was a member of a Aston Villa's 1980-81 title and 1981-82 European Champions Cup winners side. A quiet, understated man, he was an intelligent, top class midfielder. I saw him play a few times for Villa and when I lived in Sheffield for the Blades (he was in his late 30s by the time he rocked up at Bramall Lane) and was always class. Thinking of him and his family.
