Very sad to hear about Boz. Eat, slept and breathed Villa. Used to drink round Balsall Heath with Boz who wouldn't give an inch when it came to Villa. Loved a good pop quiz aswell. RIP.
I unexpectedly saw him in a pub in Balsall Heath once when I thought I was far behind enemy lines. It was great to see a friendly face.
QuoteI unexpectedly saw him in a pub in Balsall Heath once when I thought I was far behind enemy lines. It was great to see a friendly face.Yes Percy (like myself) he was from South Brum when I first knew him (Moseley) and he went out there often, as well as round the city centre.
I think that all got taken a bit out of context as well.He came out with the name in Yarmouth, after we had played at Ipswich. There were 2 coaches, one going straight back to Brum, the other going to Yarmouth. Those going to Yarmouth were referred to as the sea crew. The next week, we had Everton at home and it was changed to the C.Crew. It had nothing to do with the corner or anything like that-Nobody even stood in the corner at that point anyway.All trivial but Bozza took the credit for the name.
