They were an excellent side. Shaw, Withe Morley, Cowans, Mortimer, McNaught, Rimmer (replaced by Spink in the EC final) etc etc. Managed by laughing boy Ron Saunders.

When he gets the ball he's bound to score....

Not that it matters but Tony Barton was the Villa manager when they won the European Cup.

I remember one of my first football memories was watching the vidiprinter in the early 80s and then Villa's score came up and it said Shaw 5 or might of been 4. I was only 7, 8 or 9 and I remember thinking what a player he must be. RIP Gary Shaw.
