All For The Love Of The Game: Peter Withe's story, Episode 2

Jonny Gould's Football Channel

"I had a dream I would play for Aston Villa Football Club!"

Welcome to Part 2 of All For The Love Of The Game, the story of Peter Withe’s memorable football career.

In part 1, Peter took us from his humble football beginnings on Merseyside, all the way to league title glory with Brian Clough’s Nottingham Forest.

And we start this episode with his unlikely departure from Forest on the edge of European glory for second division Newcastle United. He mentions another familiar Villa figure, Martin O’Neill, who shared in his title glory at the City Ground.

Peter explains how he left Forest for a tenner a week! And why he dropped down a division to do so - and the inside story behind his "dream move" to Aston Villa.
