Ramsey 'not at all dazzled' by playing for boyhood club

"It's so good, man," said Jacob Ramsey - and it was. Every good Aston Villa team of recent memory has had at least one player with that authentic local connection - Gary Shaw, Ian Taylor, Lee Hendrie, Stan Collymore, Gabby Agbonlahor and others - able to appreciate the scale of the team's footballing achievements, not only with his head, but with his heart. Dean Smith took that connection into the manager's office.
