Unai Emery has said Aston Villa plan to dedicate victory to Gary Shaw if they beat Young Boys in the Champions League after the 1982 European Cup winner died on Monday aged 63. Shaw fell seriously ill this month after being hospitalised with a head injury.
Shaw was part of a revered Villa side that won the First Division in 1981 and then the European Cup and European Super Cup. He is regarded as one of Villa’s greatest forwards and was the only local player in the team that beat Bayern Munich in Rotterdam in 1982.
