Rest In Peace Big Man.

Will never forget the 1977 League Cup final marathon, being behind the goal at Old Trafford when he thumped one in from what seemed like the halfway line and went on to lift the trophy as our captain.  The team he captained was the foundation being set for the glory days just four years later.

Holte Ender in the Sky.

I was just reading an article that listed the best Villa players, at centre  - half, to play in the Premier League. For some reason I was reminded of big Chris who served us so well under RS. He, for me, is one of the best headers of a football I've seen in a Villa shirt.
