Villa legend Shaw dies aged 63 after fall

Hi welcome .

But we share some sad news about the history of football in nowadays 😭

He helped Villa win the 1981 league title and the European Cup in 1982.

Shaw came through the youth ranks at his boyhood club and went on to score 79 goals in 213 games for Villa.

"Aston Villa Football Club is deeply shocked and profoundly saddened to learn that Gary Shaw, one of our European Cup-winning heroes, has passed away," the club said on Monday.

"Gary was one of our own, a talented striker who delighted supporters with his goalscoring exploits which helped fire Villa to success in the 1980s. Individual accolades would also follow for a player who was idolised by many on the terraces.

"He passed away peacefully earlier today surrounded by his family, who asked Aston Villa to release a statement on their behalf.

"The thoughts of everyone at the club are with Gary's family and loved ones at this extremely difficult time."

Shaw was named the Professional Footballers' Association Young Player of the Year in 1981 and European Young Player of the Year in 1982.

It’s really sad to hear that Villa legend Gordon Cowans has passed away at the age of 63 after a fall. He was a big part of Aston Villa’s history, especially known for his time as a player when the club was very successful.

Fans will remember him for his amazing skills and the joy he brought to the team. Losing him this way is very tragic. My thoughts go out to his family and loved ones. The football world has lost a great figure, and he will be missed by all who knew and supported him.
