Considered as Aston Villa greatest captain ever, Dennis Mortimer was the man who lifted the European Cup in 1982. In January 2024, Mortimer was named by Aston Villa as a member of the Honorary Anniversary Board ahead of the club's 150th anniversary season. Mortimer became an integral part of Villa's midfield and in 1982, captained the side to a 1-0 win over Bayern Munich in the European Cup, which would be the club's first and only European trophy to date.Comics used to feature snotty-nosed kids from back-to-backs taking on and, against all odds, beating posh Henrys who pronounced their 'aitches' and came from homes with inside lavatories. He left school in Birmingham, UK, with minimal qualifications and trained as a British Gas engineer. After the game, Mortimer swapped his match shirt with an unknown Bayern player and has since attempted to recover it. The love and support of Janis by his side is evident, creating a strong foundation that undoubtedly contributed to Dennis' achievements on the field.
