when you did we may not have beaten Rangers that glorious afternoon. You were a landscape-changer when you came to the club & had you not done so, we wouldn't have achieved the success we did.

He was a wonderful footballer and an esteemed member of that brilliant Aston Villa team which won the 1982 European Cup.
He will be missed but not forgotten.

in 2006 I was proud to be appointed Aston Villa manager. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there with 3 consecutive top 6 finishes & some memorable cup runs. We came so close to winning silverware & breaking into the top 4, it wasn't to be. Perhaps it could happen this season?

I am saddened by the passing of Sven-Göran Eriksson.
I did not know him all that well, but on the couple of occasions that our paths crossed he was extremely courteous and rather genteel, with a real sense of humour.

Very sad to hear the news of Pele's death.
To win three World Cups is extraordinary. As a 6-year-old, I remember watching him in 1958 but it was in 1970 when he reigned supreme for Brazil.
Whenever people talk about the best of all time, Pele will always be in the conversation.

A born winner for club and country, few trophy cabinets could match Franz Beckenbauer's. To captain your country to World Cup glory is one thing, but to then go on to achieve that accolade as the manager is a mark of true greatness. The game has lost another iconic figure.

Sir Bobby Charlton was undoubtedly one of the greatest footballers of all time. A World Cup and Ballon d'Or winner, a European Champion and a Manchester United legend and I was lucky enough to play against him early in my career. Football has lost another titan of the game.
