VillaChris Posted August 6 Posted August 6 That's mad. When I was little (late 90s) used to go to Penns Hall Hotel in Sutton Coldfield to go swimming while my parents went to the gym. In those times there were plenty of 80s Villa legends who would be in gym/bar. Likes of Tony Morley, Gary Shaw, Brian Little and once saw Andy Gray. Bobby Thomson was also around the bar area a few times. I think he was playing for the Villa Old stars into his early 60s. I was randomly reminiscing those days to my Dad on Sunday and he asked my if Bobby Thomson was still alive. Had no idea, checked Wiki and he still was. Dad said "fair play" when I replied he was still going at 87. Few days later and I read he's passed on here. Funny old game. R.I.P. 4
