Only 45 as well. Very sad."The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."

Ex-Villa player Birch dies at 46
BBC SPORT, 2009/02/02 12:33:55 GMT
Former Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Paul Birch has died at the age of 46 after a long battle against bone cancer.
Birch began his career at Villa as an apprentice in 1980 and made more than 200 appearances for the club.
He joined Wolves in 1991 and scored on his debut, a win over West Ham.
Birch went on to make more than 150 appearances for the club before joining Preston on loan and having spells at Doncaster Rovers and Exeter City.
Former Villa and West Bromwich Albion players had recently held a collection for Birch at the local derby between the two sides at Villa Park on 10 January.
Birch won the FA Youth Cup with Villa in 1980 and made his senior debut for the club as a substitute in their European Super Cup final second leg against Barcelona, which they won 3-1 on aggregate.
He helped Villa get promoted back into the top flight in 1988 and was part of the side that finished second in Division One two years later.
After his playing career ended he had a spell as a coach at Birmingham City.Comment

Oh, and these two Villa men have sadly passed on too:
[Rob's Blog]
Former player and manager Vic Crowe passed away aged 76. Crowe's hand in our rise from Division Three to European Champions in 10 years cannot be underestimated.
Former captain and the last one to lift the FA Cup in 1957, Johnny Dixon was a Villa legend. He scored over 140 goals in 400-plus games. He was 85.
