I liked him, he built that exciting EC winning team, robbed of the moment by Ellis. A humble guy.

RIP.

Doug Ellis stepped down as chairman....and Villa won the European Cup. After that....Ellis strode large like Corbyn strides large in the labour party. Some people have no self-awareness.

For my sins, I was at Fratton Park, they must have been playing Spurs, when he arrived and signed for them on the pitch. Very dour but efficient player and manager. RIP.

Maybe the only person to manage all three Birmingham clubs.

One of the top managers from his era.

RIP
