I am saddened to hear the news about the passing of Chris Nicholl at the age of 77.
Chris played for Villa from 1972 - 77, winning the Leage Cup in 1975 and '77.
He later went on to manage the Saddlers from 1994-97, winning promotion with the club in the 1994/95 season to the second division.
I met him in 2019 when he was living in Bloxwich at St Peter's Court.
Lovely bloke, sadly missed.
