What they Said
โIโm glad his team [ex Villa team mate Gordon Lee] lost today.
โThere can be no room for sentiment in football.
โI donโt care who manages the opposition - if it was my own brother I would still want to beat him. This can be the only way.
โItโs a nice position to be in [top of the table].โ
โ[Geoff Crudgington] has played extremely well and these couple of games will have been a very good experience for him.โ
Vic Crowe.
