We had my Dad's funeral on Monday and I would just like to thank you all on H&V for your very kind words over the last couple of weeks.

Many of the congregation wore anything Claret and Blue and the noses who turned up also wore the colours.
Thanks for that.

Enjoy that pint Doc, it doesn't get easier despite what everyone says, but the memories help.

Thanks everyone for all your very kind words.

One of my favourite moments of watching the Villa with my Dad was when Peter Withe shinned in the winner in that game in 82, We were watching the game in a our local pub here in Cambridge where the local populous are generally either London supporters, Manure and Liverpoo.
We took plenty of stick off the packed pub as they were all rooting for Bayern,
When THAT goal went in my Dad and me were jumping around hugging each other and flicking the V's like maniacs at the rest of the pub.
He then says in a very loud voice......""have that you cocknee cnuts""
