So so sad… 😢😔
Shawsy befriended me when I signed for Villa & showed me the sights and sounds of the city as well as most of the local bars! We were similar age, liked a few beers, a night out & a good time, so got on great. He loved hearing about the WFC ‘Crazy Gang’ antics & would have fitted in brilliantly tbf!
Injury curtailed his career under Graham Taylor but despite his issues he always had a good nature, a cheeky smile & a great one-liner!
Always a pleasure to be with him working at Villa on match days when I went back over the years & we actually went out for a few beers around Stourbridge recently after the Villa 150yr celebration event. Needless to say we both rolled in very very late & a bit worse for wear! 🤪🍻🎉🤷♂️
Happy memories of a superb player in his day, but an even better teammate & human being.
RIP mate ❤️
