That is not, perhaps, in the best of taste and has been done to death with Manure and Chelski..especially as the Villa stood up to him and his lot, and beat his Germany XI before the War!

"Defying Hitler
 
Brummie Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was not great at standing up to the Austrian with the little moustache, but his hometown football team did a better job. On tour in Germany in May 1938, Villa – unlike England the previous day – refused to give the Nazi salute as the teams lined up before the kick off. And, just for good measure, the Villa beat a Germany XI packed with German and Austrian internationals"
