Posted 2 months ago

Aston Villa legend Gary Shaw is in serious condition in the hospital after a fall that resulted in a head injury, according to BBC Radio WM.

Gary Shaw, now 63, was a key player in Aston Villa’s historic triumphs, helping them secure the 1981 league title and the 1982 European Cup.

The former England Under-21 striker played a vital role in one of the club’s golden eras, etching his name into Villa folklore.

Beyond his time at Villa, Shaw also had stints with Blackpool, Walsall, Kilmarnock, and Shrewsbury Town. His versatility on the pitch made him a standout player throughout his career.

Since retiring from football in 1992, Shaw has channeled his passion into a new field, working as a statistical analyst. His shift from the pitch to behind the scenes has kept him close to the game he loves.

With his recent head injury, Villa fans and the broader football community are deeply concerned, hoping for a swift recovery for their beloved legend.
