MATCH QUOTES

"Me? I'm the happiest man In the ground. "I played with six of the present Villa side before I was transferred three years ago." Shrewsbury goalscorer, Dave Roberts. “Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for it. But there was a foul in midfield just before the goal and Villa should have been given a free kick.” Shrewsbury manager, Harry Gregg.
