References to Villa in books, fiction or non-fiction but not football or sport related, and to start us off:-
"Lonely Planet- The Cities Book" Page 504, the city of Male' (Maldives), one of it's "strengths" is
"Curious street names rather than numbers-watch for Crabtree, Sweet Rose, Sun Dance, the grand River Nile, the strange Ozone or even Aston Villa"- "Bloodline" by Mark Billingham. Page 194- " 'Another tenner says Spurs lose tomorrow.' At home against Aston Villa. Should be guaranteed at least a point. It was Spurs though..."
Go for it
