In Part Two of our chat with Brian Litlte, the Villa legend tells Kate Tracey and Alan McInally how he made his emotional return to Villa Park, this time as manager. Brian reveals how nothing was going to stop him taking the job, telling Leicester City he’d walk away from management altogether if they blocked the move. He recalls his first days with the squad, walking into the dressing room after his first game and declaring: “You’re going to be a Brian Little team starting tomorrow.” The conversation also touches on his sharp eye for talent, from quickly scouting a young Gareth Southgate to making sure he signed the player who would become a key figure for club and country. Missed Part One? Go back to hear Brian’s rise through the Villa ranks, the 1977 League Cup Final, and the injury that ended his playing career far too soon. __ Stay ahead of the game and be the first to know when we release new videos by hitting the subscribe button For more Villa content head to the website 👉 https://video.avfc.co.uk/
