[Football] Gary Shaw RIP

[Green Cross Code Man]

All the best for him then.

Withe'n'Shaw - what a partnership - but they really should have played in Manchester, not Birmingham!

Clever!

The Sun (sorry everyone) now reports he’s passed away .

Even The Sun are unlikely to report a false RIP. Sad news.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Very sad news.
Great player in a very good Villa side.
RIP.

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

Great player with a great deal of flair. RIP.

The Sun, unlikely to report false information about football ?

On villatalk they’re referring to someone they despise called Jonny Gould who broke the news prematurely just to be first!

It appears I dumbly gave them too much credit. Here's hoping for the best for him.

Without wishing to appear disrespectful, why does that deserve a mention on here ?

Then you could say the same for anyone that’s mentioned on here.

Unless I'm mistaken, his time at Villa coincided with future Albion players Dennis Mortimer and John Gregory. Villa were certainly a team of National interest at the time and Gary Shaw was a young star.

Correct. Shaw was just starting to establish himself in the Villa first team when Gregory joined us.

Dennis Mortimer captained the Villa side that won the European Cup that Shaw also played in. Also in that team was Des Bremner brother of future Albion striker Kevin.

Sad news indeed RIP Gary Shaw. What a great night for all English football fans that was when Villa won the European Cup. Never forget that.

He’s still alive

Maybe we should change the thread title? Hope he pulls through.

I've already requested the thread be taken down!

Sadly being reported he has now passed away following a fall. (Also reported on Aston Villa’s homepage). RIP.

 

[GT49er]

Yes, sadly now confirmed. Career was blighted by a very bad injury (knee, I think) and although he recovered it was never to the same level he'd been at before.
RIP.

 

[Mo Gosfield]

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

Geez....playing in a title winning and European Cup winning squad of only 14 players and scoring plenty of goals.

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

Mind you...met a guy once ( in the late 60's ) who had no idea who Bobby Moore or Bobby Charlton were.

 

[trueblue]

Very sad. Rest In Peace.

A couple of weeks ago my boss, who is of an age with Gary Shaw and used to play for Newcastle's youth and reserve teams, told me that Shaw was one of the best he'd shared a pitch with.

RIP Gary
