I was at the local tip the other day, getting rid of an old bed, some cardboard and bits of mirror when I bumped into Peter Withe. Now, there is an Aston Villa legend.
A member of the 1982 European Cup winning team. Winning that trophy is the definition of a big club. How many have Newcastle won, remind me…
To be a legend at The Villa, you have to have been part of that team. When I was coming through the academy, from the age of 12, the exploits of Gary Shaw, Tony Morley, Gordon Cowans – one of my coaches – and Peter were drilled into us.
