Prince William has expressed his condolences following the death of Aston Villa legend Gary Shaw, who passed away at the age of 63 after suffering a head injury. Shaw, a key player in Villa's history, was instrumental in the club's successes during the 1980s, including their European Cup victory in 1982. As Aston Villa prepares for their first Champions League match in over 40 years against Young Boys, William shared a heartfelt message on social media, wishing the team luck and commemorating Shaw's contributions. He noted that the last time Villa won in top European competition was before his birth and expressed hope for a new adventure in Europe. Tributes for Shaw have been widespread, with the club stating their deep sorrow over the loss of one of their own. William's connection to the club is personal, having been a lifelong supporter alongside his son, Prince George.
