Two AVFC Legends have passed the last 24hrs. Peter McParland, a legend for his FA cup achievement. Jake Findlay was one of my earliest memories supporting my wonderful club. In my head, he's still that young blond keeper in his green jersey. #HEITS #RIP

Faleceu aos 91 anos Peter McParland, último sobrevivente da equipe da Irlanda do Norte na histórica campanha da Copa do Mundo de 1958. Dos 6 gols da Irlanda do Norte naquele Mundial, ele fez 5 (mesmo número de Vavá e um menos que Pelé) para levar sua seleção às quartas de final.

Rest in peace, Peter McParland the last surviving member of Aston Villa’s legendary 1957 FA Cup-winning team. A true club icon. UTV.

Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Peter McParland who has passed away. Peter represented Northern Ireland with distinction, most remembered at the 1958 World Cup. The last of our heroes from that famous era.

I first heard the name Peter McParland in the commentary over grainy footage of the ‘57 FA Cup final on an old VHS tape. It made him out to be some kind of battering ram. Upon meeting him it was clear he was, in fact, the humblest, gentlest legend. Thank you, Peter. Sleep well ❤️

Peter McParland and Jake Findlay - gone within 24 hours of each other. It’s getting crowded up there. Another legend of the old game and if one if Villa’s last finest moments. RIP Peter. #HEITS

Sad news - Peter McParland was a lovely man. Humble, funny and with a lovely sense of what he had delivered for Villa, not least with his goals to win the FA Cup back in 1957. Thoughts are with his family. #avfc
