That’s sad, him and Peter Withe were a fantastic front two.
That's sad. He was a wonderful player. Didn't have a lot of luck with injuries.

Sad news, part of my growing up on Birmingham.
Went to the same school as him in Kingshurst and was in my sisters class three years in front of me.
Inspired a lot of us when he signed for Villa.

Without wishing to appear disrespectful, why does that deserve a mention on here ?
For many of us a name from our football linked past, growing up supporting the Albion from childhood. Many will have seen him play.
By the way, from the outside a seemingly very disrespectful comment.

Supporter for 60 years, but have to admit his name didn't jump out at me, sorry

Maybe because it’s a football forum?
Might not seem that way with all the politics bollocks on here, but nice to acknowledge a decent player of his time.

Don’t have an interest English teams playing in European cup finals all those 60 years then?

RIP. Far too young.
I remember a Shoot article on the young striker, he was iconic.

What a a period, for ten plus years English clubs often ruled Europe. Hard to forget Morley, Shaw, Withe, Mortimer.

I'm a little surprised then.
Gary Shaw was pivotal in Aston Villa's shock title win in 1981. An incredible season that went to the wire with Ipswich Town. 18 league goals and a formidable connection with Tony Morley. As mentioned, unlucky with injuries. Sad way to go. RIP. A name that certainly jumps out from my childhood. Felt a sad frison when I saw the thread title.

Still with us but very poorly.
If you read any of the football publications at the time, like Shoot and Match, you’d certainly recognize him even if you can’t remember the name. He was quite a striking figure due to his hair.
RIP
All the best for him then.
Withe'n'Shaw - what a partnership - but they really should have played in Manchester, not Birmingham!
