brummie Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Chris Nicholl, one of my favourite players as a kid. Famous for two things. One, widely famous, scoring all 4 goals in a 2-2 draw with Leicester City. The other, famous amongst Villa fans of a certain age, scoring this absolute thunderbastard in the 2nd replay of the 77 LC final (I was at this match, and the other two). https://x.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1761830640314396973?s=20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sad news. Great player when I was growing up. Couldn't quite believe he was aged 77. Makes me feel really old. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groo Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Leighton James. Was a class player for us during the Toshack days. Scored one of the goals at Preston to take us up into the old First Division for the first time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
