We fortunately don't seem to have been targeted by the EDL either which is a good thing, I'm quite convinced some of our support would be attracted to that nonsense.

I went to a game at Blues once, It was a friendly I'm certain, Early 90's, I was about 16-17 maybe, Someone tapped me on the shoulder and handed me a combat 18 card, He nodded at me and I nodded back, I had no idea until years later what it actually was, I think I lobbed it away it had no number on or anything. That was in our end.

There are quite a few Villa and B-lose on EDL marches. Top boys as well.

I have applied to join EDL and they have asked for a picture. I have sent them a picture of  David  Hasselhoff.  Waiting for a reply!

I was going to write something about big brother watching you, but I'm scared they will then watch me then

They'll probably make you leader.

They love a pin up boy, it's all that pent up homo-eroticism.

How are they "top boys"? They sound like ******.

[Ads]

He means they're main faces in their firms, not that he think's they're great people.

[cdbearsfan]

Ah, I see.

[Percy McCarthy]

Correct. Thanks Ads. A couple of them aren't even white.

Isn't there a story about them being removed from villa park back in the day by an anti right wing fan group?

I mentioned this on another thread a while back yes. F(ans) A(gainst) N(azis).
The "group" locally were from several clubs (myself and two other Villa, Everton, Newcastle, 2 Wolves plus others) and we only saw NF at a couple of home matches selling Bulldog or whatever it was called near the Holte on Witton Lane. They were moved on by "crowding" - surrounding them and taking the materials off them. If they cut up rough then... most just left.

There was actually very little racist activity at Villa. We had most problems at Wolves to be honest and came off worst a couple of times. Leeds and Chelsea were always targets when they visited the Midlands.

It was not particularly organised (we were late teens to early twenties). It was our left-wing politics spilling over into footie hence the mix of lads.
442 can speak to someone who can remember it properly!

The Villa keep giving me more and more reasons to be proud of them. Thanks chaps.

Hi - Looking for Villa fans with memories/stories of how the NF tried to use football as a recruiting ground in the 1970s and early 1980s, and what that meant at Villa. Part of a wider piece on football and the NF. If you can help, please reply here or drop me a line: steve.anglesey@mirror.co.uk

You'd be better off getting memories from Chelsea fans.
