My dodgy memory recalls seeing a lion cub in the Villa programme, I have a feeling it was featured with Trevor Hockey. Can anybody confirm the lion and Trevor, not my dodgy memory?

If we could bring another lion to the ground and introduce him to Son next time we play Tottenham, that might help.

Yes it was Trevor Hockey with a lion, although I can’t remember the lion’s age.

It was a cub, the poor thing was probably terrified of him. Captain Caveman. Might have been something to do with opening the Lions Club on Trinity Road.
