I kissed his shin once in a drunken stupor in Solihull.

Happy birthday and thanks for playing a part in the greatest football moment of my life.
 
Proper center forward, proper footballer. One of my all time favourite Villa players.
Happy birthday.
 
I've just spent 20 enjoyable minutes watching him play a proper centre forward's game against Middlesbrough in the last home game of the 80/81 season. That was in the days when we were the main fixture on Match of the Day. The pitch was a mud heap and it was pissing down but Withe was magnificent. They all were. Alan Evans scored his 7th goal of the season from centre back making it 17 goals in two seasons.
Withey murdered them.
To quote Max Boyce. "I know, because I was there"
Happy Birthday Peter and thanks for the happiest of footballing memories.
 
Ha yes I remember that day vividly Ironside.

It was a great header wasn't it and a brilliant cross from Tony Morley.
 
The way they dominated that game was awesome. It made me smile when McNaught got injured and the ball was kicked out. The ref restarted with a drop ball and they kicked lumps off each other trying to win it. None of this uncontested stuff. Withe hit the post twice as well as scoring. Should have been 4 up by half time. And that was against a team we hadn't beaten at Villa Park for three seasons.
