A collection of medals and trophies won by Aston Villa legend Gary Shaw has reportedly been put up for auction less that three months after his death.

Shaw passed away on September 16 at the age of 63.

The former striker was mourned by thousands of Villa fans, who remembered him fondly from his decade at the club in the 1970s and 80s.

Shaw came through the youth ranks at his boyhood club before scoring 79 goals in 213 first-team games.

Those goals helped Shaw win the English First Division title in 1981, as well as the European Cup and European Super Cup in the following year.
