In last night's episode the character Paul (played by Philip Jackson - known for playing Inspecotr Japp in Poirot) was wearing a retro Villa shirt of 1971-72 vintage. The one with the embroidered lion and club initials; the one before the round badge appeared. The shirt had number 8 on the back. Who was the miner 8 back then? Apparently the character came from that hot bed of Villa support........ Stourbridge. For anyone interested in this mediocre series his wife is "Mrs Hughes" from Downton Abbey.

Although there was a skinny kid called Brian Little knocking about in those days. I don't think he played many games that season.
