Died yesterday aged 73 His passing has its own thread in on topic which I dare say has diverted a lot of the conversation. He’s before my time so I feel somewhat removed from the discussion. Regardless, condolences to his family, it would seem he was around during what must have ultimately been a great turnaround for the club.

HEITS Well it was sort of a "great turnaround" but actually didn't work out that well. The Doc signed Chico from Southend IIRC where he had arrived from Chelsea as a player with great potential. Villa were red hot favourites to go up out of the old 2nd Division with Docherty but lost the first home match of the Season to Norwich and ultimately went down. Chico could be a bit mercurial (IMO) but on his day was brilliant. RIP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember him from I was a kid and he did the public information learn to swim adverts in the late 70s/early 80s but I'd imagine he'll be most remembered for the below. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had two other great records " I Don't know Why I Love you but I Do" and (I think) "You Always Hurt The One You Love". He was excellent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a big breakout victory on tour just last year after a long period of issues with alcohol, depression, and anger management. Really looked like he had turned a corner.
