Rest I piece Dalian. Still scored the best villa goal I've seen.

Is this the goal against Wimbledon you are referring to Bongo. It was the first MOTD Premiership goal of the season.

Unbelievable news. RIP Dalian. Thanks for the great memories you gave us.

Really gutted about this. He was my all time Villa hero. Unplayable on his day.

Can't understand why there's been nothing from the club on twitter or the official site to even acknowledge his death. Wednesday were straight out with a nice tribute on their twitter feed and on their site but there's been absolutely nothing on ours.

I would expect a minutes silence tomorrow.

Villa have now acknowledged Dalian's passing with a tribute SC.

RIP, sad news and like many opposition fans, his goal against Wimbledon springs to mind.

He certainly brought smiles to faces, scored in the Coca Cola Cup final against treble chasing Man U - a Villa hero. Absolutely gutted and I hope we win well tomorrow in tribute to him.
