Happy Birthday Dennis Mortimer

[sirdennis]

It is the great man's birthday today.

Happy Birthday to a proper Villa legend.

 

[sirdennis]

And a proper beard as well.

And there I was on the other teams thread moaning about scousers lol.
We only accepted those with outstanding character at Villa . Happy Birthday to a legend.

 

[JuanPabloAngel]

Happy birthday Dennis! A true legend, and scored the first goal of my Villa life way back when.

 

[villasince67]

Do they give out caps retrospectively? Proper Villa Legend. Happy Birthday.

 

[sirdennis]

If they did he should have at least 50 .

 

[Thomas Holte]

The complete midfielder and team captain - enough said.

 

[Melon Donkey]

Who?

 

[JuanPabloAngel]

Who?

That Scouse bloke who played for Blues and Cov

 

[Melon Donkey]

He doesn't look like the Sir Dennis I had a chat with at Fulham away a few weeks ago.

Will the real Sir Dennis please stand up !

 

[sirdennis]

I'm Sir Dennis, yes, I'm the real Sir Dennis
All you other Sir Dennis's are just imitating

 

[sirdennis]

That Scouse bloke who played for Blues and Cov

 

[sirdennis]

We rescued him from Coventry and he would never had played for anyone else after us if Deadly hadn't bombed all the European Cup squad out.

Such a sorry state of affairs when you think about the actions of Ellis, Turner and Billy McNeil at that point in our history. Three years after winning the greatest prize in football we had Allan Evans and Gary Williams remaining.... Rimmer to Swansea, Swain to Forest, Gibson to ManUre, McNaught to West Brom, Mortimer to Brighton then Small Heath, Bremner to Small Heath, Shaw forced to retire, Withe to Sheffield, Cowans to Bari, Morley to Sandwell....

A disgrace - completely unforgivable

 

[sirdennis]

All because Deadly wasn't around when we won the league and European Cup.

There are some that think Ellis was good for our club.

All down to Doug Ellis's ego and because of all the success of becoming League Champions and Champions of Europe happened outside of his tenure

 

[northamptonvillan]

Even Sir Brian would have ended up at Small Heath had he not failed the medical. Doesn't bare thinking about

 

[Fulford]

Happy birthday great man

 

[The Fear]

A great, great player.

Happy to say a great guy away from football as well.
