Hello there all, my name is Dom, I’m one of Mark’s closest friends – we sat next to each other at Villa. Thank you all on behalf of Mark's family for all of the kind comments.The funeral is on Monday 22nd July 12 Noon at St Mary’s Church Oldswinford and the burial is at Stourbridge Crematorium at 1.15 for anyone that wants to attend. I have written a piece on the last few months of Mark’s life (entitled Fast Eddie’s Last Stand) [/i] in my weekly column Lowlife, please see the link below if you would like to read it:-http://dominichorton.blogspot.co.uk/ Mark requested that Villa fans wear Villa ties at the funeral if you have one – if not any club tie will do or any non-black tie. Up the Villa.
