Many years ago we had a left back called john Robson and know matter what he did he was the boo boy of the villa park crowd. If the hot dogs were cold it was his fault.if you got to the ground late it was his fault to, you get my drift.
Then one night game and I'm sure someone can recall it andy gray wasn't playing so we couldn't sing the "oh andy oh andy your the greatest the Holte end say".
So we started singing that song but putting his name in, and he had a superb game which he usually did anyway ,to be named in Alex cropleys best 11 you can't be a bad player can you. And from that night he was cheered every time he touched the ball.
Just shows what a bit of support can do for a player.
