Ian Taylor joins us this week, remembered by fans for being at the heart of Aston Villa's midfield and remembered by teammates for being the entertainments manager.
Starting out at Port Vale at the age of 23, Taylor had to take a wage cut from his job as a forklift driver to become a professional footballer on the plus side he got given a car which disappeared under suspicious circumstances.
Once at Aston Villa he hit the ground rolling in a team with big personalties including Saša Ćurčić, Dwight Yorke, Alan Thompson & of course former England Manager Gareth Southgate.
In a surprising revelation we hear that Gareth Southgate may not be as strait laced as everyone thinks and loved surrounding himself with the mavericks of that great Aston Villa side.
We also dig into how Villa went from top of the league at Christmas to finishing closer to the relegation zone than the title, while exploring Stan Collymore's short fuse and Dwight Yorke’s impact on Birmingham both on and off the field.
