I'd pay a lot of money for that away shirt in good condition. I've wanted it for decades.

£200 for an XL here https://www.classicfootballshirts.co.uk/1987-89-aston-villa-away-shirt-very-good-xl.html

I got my 89-90 home shirt from this site and it's in great condition.  Well until my sweaty pits went into it.

Thanks for that. Sadly, I'm not anything like an XL or else I'd have snapped that up right away. Dam it.

Seems a huge turnout in Watford - nice to see Tim sherwood , Stuart gray and David platt all there so far to pay their respects along with sir Alex , and many other football bosses .

  2. The 72-year-old, who also managed Aston Villa and Wolves, died last month

Thanks Eastie.

I'm thinking about the great man today. I hope we can all spare him a thought today considering all he did for AV.

Listened for 2 hours to the live funeral coverage and the eulogies from his daughters and grand children brought tears to my eyes - lovely service and so fitting a tribute to him.

Martin Keown and Tony Daley were also in attendance. Fair play to Platty by the way, there were understandable questions posed about his lack of comment following Graham's passing but he was there to pay his respects on the day for the manager that made him into an England player. RIP Graham and thanks for the memories.

And Platt was at the Villa Park tribute as well.
