Withe is set to return to the organisation \u2014 this time not as a player, but in a senior role.<\/p>\n<p>Withe remains one of the most celebrated figures in Aston Villa&#8217;s history, particularly remembered for scoring the winning goal in the club&#8217;s famous 1982 European Cup final triumph.<\/p>\n<p>According to this fictional scenario, Emery believes Withe&#8217;s experience, leadership and deep understanding of the club&#8217;s history could provide tremendous value to the modern Villa setup.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed return would see the Villa legend work closely with the coaching and senior football departments, sharing his knowledge with younger players and helping preserve the club&#8217;s winning mentality.<\/p>\n<p>For Villa supporters, the prospect of seeing one of their greatest heroes back at Villa Park has already created huge excitement.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear:
