I WAS asked by Aston Villa official news & record editor Rob Bishop to reminisce about my greatest ever Villa player.
So with Rob's kind permission, here's my piece about 'Getting Chatty with Platty' from Saturday's programme from the Albion game.
IT hardly ranks alongside the elephant taking an impromptu toilet break at BBC Television Centre in the list of Blue Peter's all-time greatest moments.
But to this day, I still cherish a vivid memory from the cult children's show much more fondly than that classic clip of a pachyderm doing a poo.
It remains one of the proudest moments of my life that, 21 years ago, between Newsround and Neighbours, a picture I painstakingly painted of Platt was shown on Blue Peter.
