One notable exception (http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~3461583,00.html)

What's the notable exception?
-
I'd say it was the 'i' to make it Villain ;)

I presume you mean H&V wasn't mentioned.
-
He looks like a Witch that has had a sex change.

It's a debate we've had on here before!
-
A dam fine name if you ask me!
I do remember the character very well and often wondered where and why it was produced for Villa fans?
-
I always thought he was called Clarrie Blue?
-
I always though it looked like Guy Fawkes.
-
That's an effeminate wizard.

His sleeve isn't.

When my Dad was about 6 or 7, his uncle (a Blues fan) used to take him to St. Andrews every week. He was in the city centre shopping with his Mom and he saw the "Villa Villain" badge and was instantly captivated and got his Mom to buy it for him. When the rest of my Blues supporting family told him it was an Aston Villa badge and he was supposed to be a Blues fan, he told them that he wanted to be an Aston Villa fan and fair play to my Uncle, he started taking him to Villa Park instead.
Before the Newcastle game on Saturday me and him were stood looking through the badges being sold on the little stand outside the Trinity Road Stand, he reminded me that it was the Villa Villain that started it all.

Actually, you are correct. Also, I seem to remember " Clarrie Blue " was on the front of the first Villa fanzines?

"His name is Clarrie Blue the Villa villan..."

It's an original that I purchased years ago.

Remember Clarrie Blue very well.
He was a genuinely significant Villa symbol when I was a kid and rocked up to home games at about 1 o'clock to take my place right behind the goal at the Holte End. Reading the programme from cover to cover, Clarrie Blue featured on a fair number of those pages.
Please answer the question: is it Villan or Villain?
I've always used the latter - my Blades mate texts me as "Villan". Do I need to put him right or amend my own spelling?

Either. Villain is preferable.

5] Come On You Villa
Both Claret & Blue and Ain't No Bluff were included on this 1996 CD compilation of 20 Villa songs. Some of the offerings are a delight, other make you cringe but it was 100 per cent Villa - and event included two compositions which stood up in their own right. Nigel Kennedy provided I Believe in God, a jazz instrumental tribute to Paul McGarth, while Stephen Duffy's Holte End Hotel is arguably the most thoughtful and poignant Villa song ever recorded.
-
I had a copy of it or something very similar as part of a dvd collection of various cup finals. We listened to it on the way an away game a few years ago and some of it was very amusing. I lent it a mate so i'll have to ask him for it back.
-
Just ordered a copy from ebay.
Passengers in my car are in for a treat! ;-)

Your preference matches mine Leeg.
That's good enough for me!

We are all Villa Villains, are we not ? UTV

The one for £5.86 only has 15 tracks. I think it's the 2000 re-issue.
Just ordered the 20 track version.

I'll bite: we are Devo.

I also agree we are.

It'll always be Villans for me. Although some of the old badges I've got spell it Villa'ns.
Anyone know how the earliest reference to our nickname was spelt?
Talking of badges, here's one of my favourite sites - one for the nerds

Memory at such a distance is unreliable, at least in my case, but I seem to remember that when they re-launched him in the late 60s he was spelled "The Villa Villa'un" which struck me at the time, and now frankly, as crap.
It was about the time Beau Brummie slinked from the dog pound.

The album is on spotify as well, although i'm sure probably most with spotify would have searched 'Villa' anyway
