Peter Withe misses out on top spot in five greatest-ever Aston Villa strikers
4. Gary Shaw
Gary Shaw was absolutely vital in helping Aston Villa win the 1981/82 European Cup.
His goals fired the Villains’ way to winning the First Division title the season before and that secured qualification for Europe’s most prestigious competition.
He was the only Birmingham-born player in the squad and was just starting off his career, however the good times were short-lived as a serious knee injury hampered him from being one of the very best.
Shaw scored 59 goals in 165 appearances for the West Midlands club.
