The word legend is used too often nowadays... but Ugo Ehiogu was certainly that at Aston Villa and will be remembered fondly by all at the club

In the wake of the awful and untimely passing of former Aston Villa defender Ugo Ehiogu, Villa fan DAVID MICHAEL recalls his fondest memories of a player who made over 300 appearances for the club.

In an era where a younger generation of Aston Villa fans call players 'legends' despite them playing less than 100 times for the club, it was shocking to hear of the sad passing of a former Villa player who amassed over 300 appearances for the club.

Ugo Ehiogu was very much at the heart of the last true successful era of Villa; that included regular European football and our last major trophy.
