    Aston Villa say they are ‘deeply shocked and profoundly saddened’ at the death of club legend Gary Shaw.

    A statement read: ‘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.

    ‘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. Rest in peace, Gary.’
