I am a West Ham fan. Very sad news about Gary Shaw. I was 12 remember the great villa side of that time. What a player Gary was . My condolences to his family and friends R.I.P Gary.
I'm a Man City fan. Remember listening to the European Cup Final with my friends. And us all cheering Villa on, like they were our club. It is a great memory of a great team. Just sometimes the game is more important than who you support. Gary Shaw was a great player. R.I.P
To those fans who never saw him play, he was our Jack Grealish of the 80s. He was a great finisher in front of goal. He could also pass a through ball better than anyone I've ever seen, his weight of pass was perfection. Watch Tony Morley's goal against Everton and his pass to Morley to set up Peter Withe's goal to win the European Cup. A true Villa legend and will be one of our own forever. RIP Gary Shaw HEITS
I was only 12 season ticket holders me and my old man ! We used to say Gary Shaw he can turn on a sixpence back off the net ❤ gone but never ever forgotten your gunna be up there watching us bk in the European cup ! Rip
I am a Liverpool supporter but Villa are my second team and Gaz was one of my first footballing heroes. I couldn't care less if more tributes are more erudite. That was beautiful. It was from the heart. RIP Gaz. God bless. XXX
As a Liverpool fan I was about 10 when villa won the European Cup & Shaw stood out, not only because of that distinctive blond wedge hair cut, & for gripping the end of his long sleeved shirt sleeves but for being a very graceful & skilled striker. He formed a great partnership with Peter Withe & it’s good to hear that he was a humble nice guy! RIP Gary Shaw☮️💟
I am a Manchester United supporter but I remember that great period for Villa very well and it was in a different era when people supported some other English sides, when they played in Europe. You are immortal Gary and will never be forgotten. RIP. 💗💙
As a kid, Gary burst onto the scene as I was sort of 9. In one East London school, where in the playground other kids would be Graham Rix, Liam Brady, Glenn Hoddle, I would be Gary Shaw. Always. Devastating news. RIP Gary ❤ My heartfelt condolences to his family at this sad time
This One Hits Really Hard, Not Only A True Villa Legend But One Of Our Own One Of Us Who Lived Every Villa Fans Dream Of Playing For Their Boyhood Club! REST EASY GARY *HEITS* 💜
Likewise and I had the pleasure of meeting him and spending a few hours in his company. As well as seeing him play in his short career some 70 or 80 times. I like you am devastated.
I never had the pleasure of seeing him play myself but heard enough about him from older Villa fans to know he was one of our own, special and a true Club legend. I'm sad he won't be at our Champions League games, especially Bayern Munich, but legends never die, there will always be a part of him at Villa Park. Great tribute by Mat ❤
Thank you for this Claret and Blue he was a hero of mine and then I met him many many a time over his career and in his retirement a pint many a time over the last few years in the bar at the White Horse in Harborne a man a icon a Villa legend I'm heart broken RIP Gary Shaw a Villa legend thank you Matt
Great player , great man. I'm only 42,so never got to see him, in the flesh. But some of my older mates, absolutely luved him, and speak of how good he was. Rip Gary Shaw, villa legend.
That is a very fitting tribute, I share the emotion I can hear in your voice. He was my hero, just a couple of years older than me I watched him many times in the 80’s. Well done Matt
Well done Mat. You almost got through it without me hearing your tears in your voice. Now you've bloody set me off again. I've been sobbing most of this afternoon 😢 A special Villa legend. We'll never forget you Gaz. RIP 🙏🏻 HEITS 😇
Very moving tribute Matt, Gary ,Gary, shaw , when he hits the ball he’s bound to score , Gary , Gary, shaw. I was a teenage holtender on the terracing, no seats back in the start of the eighties,watching this one of our own goal scoring hero. Competing against the best. Along side Withe and Geddes. Taking us to the heights of winning the league, European cup, super cup. What a time that was to be a villa fan. Watching a young striker hitting the net , living a boyhood dream, playing for his beloved Aston Villa. Loved by all . Sadly knee injuries caught up with him to early in his career. Today is a sad day , thanks for the great memories Gary. RIP Holtender in the sky.
Fantastically put!. A fitting tribute to one of our own, a villa legend. Lucky to have seen him play back in the day. Remember him in with the Villa fans at the 94 league cup final, just a villa fan, just one of us. It’s so sad when we lose a part of the Villa family. R.I.P Gary. HEITS.
Followed Villa since the late 60's. Gary was the best finisher I ever saw and I've seen them all. Gutted when his knee gave up and devastated at his passing. RIP legend.
A great tribute to an exceptional talent from my youth, and as a lifelong Villa fan he will live long in the memory from the glory days of European Cup Winners. A true lengend. RIP Gary ❤
Firstly, a wonderful and fitting tribute Mat. Thank you. Not easy doing that mate, but you’ve done him proud. I was too young to remember Gary’s playing career unfortunately but was fortunate enough to meet him or listen to him in person at a couple of Villa related events. Only a couple of weeks ago I attended the West Ham screening at Villa Park and Gary was a speaker at the event. Such a wonderful man and he still had that aura about him, where fans are star struck when he enters the room. RIP Gary, gone too soon but never forgotten. HEITS.
Mat, I'm in bits after listening to this. He was, and always will be, one of my favourite players in all my years as a Villa fan since 1966. Thank you for your heartfelt tribute.
Loved his play. Loved his quiet modesty and loved his broad Brummie accent. RIP Gary. Such memories for those, like me, who saw Gary play. So sad. Holte Ender in the Sky. RIP.
Thank you for this Matt. Beautifully done. Been in tears many times since the news was shared. Devastated. My first hero. Way too young. Lovely comments from fans of other clubs, nice to see. We appreciate it. HEITS 💜💙
Fair play to you Mat for recording that tribute, couldn't have been easy as I can tell from your voice near towards the end, you did Gary and the rest of us Villa fans proud! 👏🏾 R.I.P. to a real club legend! 🙏🏾 🕊️ HEITS 🦁 💜 🩵
I was lucky enough to go to school with gary , kingshurst comprehensive with mr Hughes and mr dyche the PE teachers where gary used to open the batting for the teachers cricket team, he played all sports, being a mad villa fan myself i remember going to his first full game WBA away 1978-79 season i think he had come on as sub in a couple of game's before that , i have always had a soft spot for gary and told everyone about him , he was one our own a mad villa fan that played infront of the holte end , i also remember going to the macadown pub to see him do a talk with Brian clough on wm radio, i am absolutely gutted, some of thebest away days in the late 70s and early 80s are my favourite times A true holte ender in the sky , RIP gary and UTV
Great account. Late 70's, early 80's were great Villa days. I absolutely loved that period. We had such a great side with a great manager Ron Saunders.
Fantastic piece by Mat. Gary Shaw an absolute icon, I'm too young to have seen him play. Thankfully I've watched clips and games where you could clearly see his brilliance. Poetic in some way that back on the biggest stage the club he loved got a win in dedication to him. RIP Gary Shaw. Holteender in the sky 💜💙
In those years...1982....as a Belgian boy watching Villa at Anderlecht in the semis ..I was immediately hooked on his graceful style of play...his partnership with Withe....became a Villa fan there and then....never forgot that night. Thx Gaz....RIP ❤
I'm a lifelong Villa fan, and I was fortunate to have watched him play many times, I met him on more than one occasion growing up in Aston in the 80's/90's - a lovely guy, a true gentleman and a great footballer. RIP Gary Shaw 💜💙
Always a smile on his face. We all loved him cos he was a true Villain and a Brummy. 😢. Condolences to his family n friends. I am 65 years old so remember seeing Gary playing many times. Including in Rotterdam 1982. He was one of ours. A true Brummy. 😢❤
I am gutted. I loved the man, watching him as a kid playing with Peter Withe i wanted to be like him. His role in the infamous goal in Rotterdam was significant as was his pass to Tony Morley for the goal of the season at goodison in 1981. I was at both those matches and many more watching his wonderful goals. RIP Gary 🙏
lovely words matt. you obviously developed a close relationship with him. he sounded like a nice fella and will be sadly missed but fondly remembered by all associated with the club.
A sad, sad day for everyone associated with Aston Villa. When I heard the news this afternoon it felt like a part of me died too. Gary Shaw is and will always remain, a true Villa hero!
I was so lucky to witness Gary in his prime and that great Villa team. Matt that was an amazing tribute bought a tear or two, to a 61 year old man eyes. HEITS gone too soon. UTV
Lovely. Well done, Matt, a beautiful tribute. Let's get a statue up for a local lad who lived the dream and accomplished it all. His memory will be eternal.
Such a fitting tribute Matt. I loved watching him play. Such a truly gifted player. I would put him in the same mould as Trevor Francis, with not one ounce of arrogance. I have a message for all young players not yet making it into the big time, that is, Live your life just like Gary. Such a special player, but more importantly, a true gentleman. I know he will be so sorely missed by every supporter of football. He needs a gold statue at Villa Park, to resemble the golden boy he was. RIP Gary. A true, true legend of our beloved club.
Thank you Mat. Just totally upset that one of my childhood heroes has gone. Thank you for bringing those great times to our club. Rest in peace Gary. HEITS.
Class Mat. You made me cry ya git! I met him as a 9yr old and fell in love with Aston Villa from there. I can’t believe he’s gone and Saturday will be tough. UTV
A truly great Aston Villa player. An integral part of Villa's glory in 1981 1982 etc. Quality player. I am so sad at his passing and will never forget his contribution to Villa. Sincere condolences to his relatives and all who knew him. RIP Villan Gary Shaw
My paternal family were Blues supporters- my grandad used to go to the matches back in the 30’s to the 70’s. However when Gary first came on the ‘scene’ we all said what a great player - as you say the first Jack Grealish I used to watch him play on TV back at his height I know he had to retire too early due to injury OH MY died way too young after a fall only 63 just 3 years older than myself 😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏RIP Gary

Great tribute Mat, well deserved by a Villa
Legend RIP Gary Shaw
My paternal family were Blues supporters- my grandad used to go to the matches back in the 30’s to the 70’s.
However when Gary first came on the ‘scene’ we all said what a great player - as you say the first Jack Grealish
I used to watch him play on TV back at his height
I know he had to retire too early due to injury
OH MY died way too young after a fall only 63 just 3 years older than myself
😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏RIP Gary
