You don't often see it about. I don't think I've seen many on eBay either but yes I'd pay more than the going rate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastie Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Very sad to read of the disgusting song sung by some so called Luton fans during their game on Saturday - appalling sad pathetic individuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Eastie Posted January 17, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Fitting tribute ( pasted from official website ) Aston Villa Football Club will pay its respects to Graham Taylor this weekend at Villa Park when we host Preston North End. Graham enjoyed two spells as manager at the club between 1987-90 and 2002-03 – the highlights being when we won promotion back to the old First Division in 1987/88 and finished second in the top-flight in 1989/90. Graham’s wife Rita has confirmed the family will attend as special guests of the club and we’re inviting former players who played under Graham to attend the match and be positioned pitchside for the minute’s applause, which will take place before kick-off. Steve Staunton, who was last captain to play under Graham, will lay a wreath on the centre circle after both teams have emerged from the tunnel. A special matchday programme will also pay tribute to Graham, including memories from former players and staff who worked with him at the club. https://www.avfc.co.uk/ Edited January 17, 2017 by Eastie 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Be nice to have a big crowd for the historic fixture v Preston and to give Taylor a good send off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 another loss to the football world, has been one of my favourite villa managers, certainly a character, I was hoping villa and wolves were going to do a minutes silence the other day for him, but a minutes applause is just as good and just as thankful to him. on all my football manager games ive tried to sign him as my assistant manager, but a lot of the time hes played hardball, typical!

It will be emotional but it is a nice way, and the best way us fans, can give him a send off and pay our respects. I'd urge everyone who can to attend even if you aren't happy with what is happening on the pitch at the moment.

The Fun Factory Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I think it would be nice if we got together with Watford in the summer and played a charity game in honour of the great man. I would go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I haven't posted in this thread yet but I thought I'd give my twopence for what it's worth. I'm too young to remember his first spell in charge of the football club, I wasn't even born then. I do remember his second spell vaguely now, I was only 11 years old, he always struck me as a great football man with great values and opinions on the game. It's a shame that he didn't repeat the heroics of first spell in charge in his second spell but he'll always be fondly remembered by me. Whenever he gave interviews or was a pundit on TV, he always gave insightful opinions. He was a great football man who I will always remember fondly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
