Villa...you can't live with 'em...pass the beer nuts.

1988 season review?

88/89 or 89/90, I can't remember which one.
We can add it to the "Gowans" Christmas tree baubles.

I remember a game towards the arse end of 1982 when we beat Man Utd 2-1 at our place with goals from Gary Withe and Pete Shore. Norman Cowans had a great battle with Gordon Whiteside.

Great Norm line - perfect context for we who suffer.

You're thinking of James Cowan, famous Villa player in the Victorian era :-D

Here is one for you young guys. Over 40 and you are barred. How did this Norman Cowans get to be called Sid?
-
He was in a Sex Pistols tribute band in his spare time.

You've even got me on that one, Brian. And I'm way past 40.

At least I know the answer to that one.
-
I remember his England debut, v Wales at Wembley in 1983. He got 3 for 29 and was 6 not out
-
Clue. There are two theories how he came to get his name. I will accept either.
-
I think I know Brian.
-
It's to do with Hissing Sid. Although I can't remember who Hissing Sid is/was.
-
Something to with a song sung by Keith Michel about Captain Beaky. And a "Hissing Sid is innocent" campaign.
Time for my tablets.

That's the hard one. Try the easy one. Think of him in glasses.

That's certainly one for the kidz, Brian. :D
-
His middle name is George.
-
I know this because I remember the song and looked it up so I could sing it to my grandkids. You might be surprised by who wrote it.
Captain Beaky (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Beaky_and_His_Band)
-
Think of him wearing glasses and holding a guitar.
-
Sid Little of Little and Large 'fame' - really?
-
Buddy Holly's middle name was Sidney as well?
-
You win the coconut Virgil. The other faction of Sid christeners thought Gordon had the build and features of Supersonic Sid Little.
-
Took fbriai to the panto in '83 and he went up on stage with Little and Large.
Eddie Large: 'Where are you from son?'
fbriai: 'Drakes Broughton'
Eddie: 'Is that where they pick their nose with a knife and fork?'
Thanks for the reminder Brian, that had slipped to the back of the memory pile.
-
I took Damon's older sister and younger brother on the stage for the panto at the Hippodrome. Billy Dainty was the Dame, giving out bars of chocolate.
Dame) Would you like a bar of chocolate little girl?
Daughter) Yes please.
Dame) What about your little brother, would he like one?
Daughter) He said I can have his.
Dame) Can't he speak for himself?
Daughter) He can't speak. 'Sides he don't like chocolate.

Happy birthday Norman.
