George Ramsay-The Man Who Made Aston Villa | AFC Finners | Football History Documentary

Support AFC Finners On Patreon- / afcfinners
Aston Villa are one of the most successful clubs in English football, but were it not for a man named George Ramsay, they may well have been lost to time. Ramsay spent a total of 59 years associated with the club, turning them into the most successful team in England, and the club will forever be in his debt.

I feel like this man should be talked about more often. An iconic man for an iconic club. Brilliant video, as always ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽

[@afcfinners]

Deffo, one of the greats

[@depekthegreat359]

He was the man who made Aston Villa,one of my favourite respective English clubs ever to be the biggest club in England during the 1890's till 1910's and indeed,an Aston Villa legend for 50 years,good friends!!!REST IN PEACE AND WE WILL AND MUST NEVER EVER FORGET YOU DAILY AND EVER IN THIS WORLD AND OTHER PLANETS,GEORGE BURRELL RAMSAY SIR!!!🙏

[@afcfinners]

Great to see him still being appreciated

[@depekthegreat359]

@@afcfinners Of course good friend,he must be fully deserved to be appreciated with his contributions which he made with Aston Villa which most of the footballing supporters would not even want to and recognise the history of the club!!!🙏

[@linky8899]

This man should at least have a statue or stand or anything named after him, absolute legend of football.

[@afcfinners]

Definitely, club would be nothing without him

[@paulhanson5164]

He should, so should a few other legends and as the MacGregor one cost about 60k it wouldn't be expensive to do in terms of what the club turns over, you could have them dotted around Villa Park. It would greatly enhance the approach to the ground and give the grand old place even more gravitas than it already has. So Wes, Nassif if you're reading get cracking and one of these days we fans might insist you two deserve a statue amongst our heroes.

[@paulhanson5164]

If I know my football history correctly only Alex Ferguson has more English league titles as a manager, incredible when you think about it because only a true football fan ( or Villa fan ) knows his name. We Villa fans have been waiting for the next Ramsay for almost 100 years, I've been waiting for over 50 years myself. I hope he turns up soon, I'm running out of years. UTV

[@afcfinners]

Bob Paisley is tied with Ramsey on 6, takes nothing away from him though, and only Wenger has more FA Cups! Fingers crossed, you guys deserve it!

[@el_rooneyo]

As a Villa fan of 30 years I really enjoyed this video - amazing work and UTV!

[@afcfinners]

Thanks buddy, I’ve got ones on Pongo Warring and the 1982 European cup I’m sure you’ll enjoy as well!

Great video mate👏🏼

[@afcfinners]

Thanks as always

[@mudflapmatt]

Wonder when the club will build him a statue out front of Villa Park, considering he found the ground for the club. If they do, you need to cover it on G2G. Thanks for the story Finners. Like, comment, and subscribe to support the channel everyone.

[@afcfinners]

Really hope they do at some point, he deserves it!

[@puffin7285]

No man is bigger than a club but George Ramsey is perhaps one man who could make that claim.
