Quote from: Dr Butler on September 16, 2015, 10:54:25 AMI met an elderly nose whilst on my holidays....He was rather courteous towards the Villa and told me that he regularly went to Blues one week and then Villa the next.We had a good long chat about the state of Midlands football and I asked why he did not go to matches anymore....he said that at his age it was a bit of a trek from Solihull, so I asked what was the last game he went to...he took a good 5 mins to think about it and said 1956 FA Cup Final v Man City ( I think Bert Trautmann broke his neck in this game).....then he says sadly "the Blose lost" still he wished the Villa all the best.UTVThe DocCan't be too many Blues fans left that went to the cup final. My Dad was a life long Villa fan and obtained a ticket for match but then couldn't get one for the our final the year later.
