Myth busted

Never!

Have you ever wondered who produced the now-famous video of Stewart Downing nudging four balls into four dustbins?

If so, step forward Nick Finney, the club's multimedia operations manager.

Finney - along with former designer Mark Clayton - were charged back in 2009 with creating imaginative content for our upcoming season ticket campaign.

After several meetings with marketing chiefs, the concept of players doing extraordinary things on camera was born.

They would take the form of short teasers, uploaded on YouTube and professing to be archive clips mysteriously 'leaked' from the club.

First up was Carlos Cuellar dismantling a lawnmower with a single boot of the ball because its whirring noises were putting him off in an interview.

John Carew then hammered a shot into the large Villa Park crest sign to stop it flickering. James Milner managed to chip four balls into four dustbins - off the crossbar, no less! - while Ashley Young donned a blindfold before prodding four balls against the crossbar.

If you genuinely thought this was claret and blue magic, I'm afraid it wasn't!

Shit no. That was real, even though it didn't feel like it at the time. Sorry.
