Do it for Gary Villa mourn 1982 hero on return to European elite

Shaw fell seriously ill this month after being hospitalised with a head injury.

Shaw was part of the Villa side that won the First Division in 1981 and then the European Cup and European Super Cup. He is regarded as one of Villa's greatest forwards and was the only local player in the team that beat Bayern Munich in Rotterdam in 1982 in the European Cup final.

Villa return tonight to European football's most prestigious club competition 41 years after they last played on the stage in the 1982-83 European Cup quarter-finals against Juventus, when Shaw featured. Emery, asked if Villa would like to dedicate victory to Shaw if they win in Berne, replied: "Yes, yes, I think it's sad and we can use it as another motivation.
