  FORMER Aston Villa chairman Doug Ellis had to be checked out in hospital after a fall while on holiday in Spain.

The 87 year-old businessman took a tumble as he left a restaurant in Palma, on the sun-kissed island of Majorca, last Friday.

Elderly Doug refused to be treated abroad and instead flew back to the UK.

He was seen by his private doctor who gave him the all-clear.

He travelled to Merseyside yesterday to watch his beloved Villa draw with Everton.

Last night Heidi, his wife of 48 years, said he had recovered well from the fall.

“He came out of the restaurant and stumbled down some stairs,” she told the Sunday Mercury.

“You never want to have a fall at his age but he was not seriously hurt.

“We came back the day afterwards and Doug went to our wonderful doctor for a check-up. It was just cuts and bruises.

“He did not spend any time in bed because of it, and he has been up and about. He went off to the Everton game yesterday, which I think shows he is on the mend.”

The old bastard cushioned the fall when he landed on his wallet

Didn't he invent stumbling down stairs ?

Get well soon Herbert

I may be wrong but I think Dr Venglos has retired so perhaps he just treats his old employers.

His devotion to the Villa is something else. To still be up and down the country every other week is some dedication. Get well soon, Doug.

Yeah,i should imagine that being chauffuer driven to every game,never paying for a ticket,sitting in the best seats in the house every week,and knowing he's made a massive profit on his original investment must be hard on him

Fuck his commitment,i reckon my 300 mile round trip to a home game outdoes that old scroat

[WikiVilla]

Herbert drives himself doesnt he, or has that changed recently ?
Often used to see him hogging the middle lane doing 72mph in his RR Phantom (AV1)

[Legion]

He drives himself.

Let's see you do it when you're 87.

He also sits in The Holte for 1 game each season, didn't he do it vs Blackburn this season ?

He doesn't have to go.  Considering his wealth and age, I think it's great that he still follows us around.  If I had his millions I doubt i'd spend my twilight years travelling around the country watching the Villa, i'd be off enjoying the sun.

Ahhh bless you.
Is it because he's 87 or because your the self appointed "voice"of villa fans that makes you post that

He was demonstrating a bicycle kick when he left the restaurant.

Yes but don't let the facts get in the way of "london lion's" unjustified prejudice.Good old Doug ,hope he's still going until he's 100 !!

I would hardly say "Let's see you do it at 87" if he wasn't 87 would I? And if you're looking for attention, there are much better ways than your silly little second bit.
