Proper fan, not like some of the various celebs and politicians who attach themselves to football just for their own self promotion. He was at the game in hamburg.
Anybody remember his claret and blue car, it looked a right old wreck that he had just spent a day attacking with claret and blue spray cans.

Yes I remember it,looked like something off wacky races or cannonball run.i remember meeting him at an end of season awards do-must be best part of 20 years ago-top bloke,though I don`t think he was held in such high esteem then by Villa fans as he is now.Maybe he`s paid his dues.


BMW 3 series I seem to remember


Nah! It was an old shape Jag XJ6.  He sits behind me at most home games.  Always wears a dodgy luminous yellow ski hat


Just goes to show how mad it was painted if people are arguing over what make of car they think it was. Someone should get him on here to tell us.

He sat next to us in The Bartons earlier. He seemed like a really genuine and nice guy.

Chatted to him yesterday, seemed like a very nice guy. I said to him that it's his fault that I support Cracovia in Poland. Apparently they shout 'Villa' at half-time.

He definately had a claret and blue jag - remember seeing him in it

Also remember meeting him with Alex-Alex Cropley about 20 years ago. In fact, I've still got the photo of Alex (wearing a Brian Little t shirt) and Nige.

He was a top bloke, knew his Villa. He was with his then missus, Brixie Smith who had dyed her hair claret and blue for the occasion

I was the thirty something bloke sat with the twenty something bloke who had a distinct family resemblence to the thirty something bloke. Nigel was sat in the corner  and I had my back to the room so I guess you were just over my left shoulder.

Meal was delicious as always.
