Aston Villa striker Gary Shaw, a member of their European Cup winning side of 1982 has died at the of 63 of injuries sustained following a fall.

One of those footballers I always think of as being permanently young, he was an unlucky player who was a fine, instinctive striker who looked destined for the top until he sustained the injury which meant that his early potential was never fulfilled.

Saw him playing for Walsall down here about seven years after he was winning the game’s top honours - surprised he never won a full cap for England, he was good enough to.

RIP
