Gary Shaw: Former Aston Villa striker dies at 63 after fall

Former Aston Villa striker Gary Shaw, who won the European Cup with the club, dies aged 63 from injuries sustained in a fall.

Just read that - a damn shame. He could've been one of England's finest goalscorers if that terrible injury hadn't limited his career. Lineker and Shaw up front would've put the fear of God in the opposition. Should've gone to the '82 World Cup but Greenwood gambled on Keegan's fitness and that didn't work out too well.

Shaw’s part in Villa’s European Cup-winning goal is immortalised on a banner that has been a fixture on the North Stand. The banner quoting Brian Moore’s commentary of Peter Withe’s match-winning goal against Bayern Munich in Rotterdam reads: “Shaw, [Gary] Williams, prepared to venture down the left. There’s a good ball played in for Tony Morley. Oh, it must be and it is! Peter Withe!”
