sharkyvilla Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I'm too young to have been aware of his first reign but everyone talks really fondly of it and you could tell he was a genuinely lovely bloke who loved the club. Just really, really saddening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Awful news - in his first spell with the club he was a tremendous manager and came so close to winning the league. Always came across as a genuine, kind man and will be sadly missed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Heretic Posted January 12, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2017 How ironic. There's been a recent thread about club legends. For me, this man qualifies. This club was a shambles when he took over. He grabbed it by the scruff of the neck and turned it around. We could have been title winners under him. The turnaround was amazing. One of the great names in this club's history, IMO. Goodbye, Sir Graham. Thanks for the wonderful memories. 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I am gutted at this news. I remember great memories from his first spell in charge and had loads of fun supporting the Villa back then. Always seemed like a gent but with a cutting edge to him too. I remember something on the radio where he gave an interview about players' injuries and said that he believed that a lot of players think they are injured when they actually aren't. He seemed to be a deep-thinker about the sport. He had Villa playing some great football in that first management spell. What a shame for him and his family. RIP Graham and thanks for all the happy memories you left us with. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) Sorry I didn't spot this thread. Very saddened to hear the news. A legend to me. Did a fantastic job first time around guiding us from nowhere really to 2nd in div 1. Great days and I rate him as one of our greatest ever managers.

Dr_Pangloss Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Absolutely gutted. Did a tremendous job for us first time around and was an absolutely lovely man. Absolutely shocking treatment during his England reign and also very poorly treated in his second spell at the Villa. RIP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Like some others, his first spell at the club was before my time as a football fan - but he always came across as a thoughtful, genuine, football-mad guy with such enthusiasm for the game and the clubs he was involved with. RIP Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billson Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Absolutely gutted First season I can remember was the 89/90 season & I loved him. Everything was great for us back then. He will be missed. RIP Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post John Posted January 12, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) Sad, sad news. He did so much for the Villa taking us from the old Division 2 to Runners Up in Division 1 in just 3 seasons. One of our very finest managers and such a nice man with a winning smile. I had the pleasure of shaking his hand and thanking him for what he had done for Villa in Zurich some years ago when he was on the way back to England after commentating on an England game and I'm so glad that I did. My thoughts are with his family. HEITS. Edited January 12, 2017 by John 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
