My dad Tony Butler (not that one) sadly passed away on Nov 6th after a 5 year battle with serious illness.
He is a very proud Brummie from down Tile Cross/Stechford/Lea Village(?) way and an even prouder Villa fan just like his Dad before him.
He was born in 1938 and he went to his first game just after the war when he was about 7/8 years old, his favourite players were usually centre-forwards and Trevor Ford was his all-time fav player.
God bless you Dad, I'm missing our arguments over the Villa already.....

Thanks everyone for all your very kind words.
One of my favourite moments of watching the Villa with my Dad was when Peter Withe shinned in the winner in that game in 82, We were watching the game in a our local pub here in Cambridge where the local populous are generally either London supporters, Manure and Liverpoo.
We took plenty of stick off the packed pub as they were all rooting for Bayern,
When THAT goal went in my Dad and me were jumping around hugging each other and flicking the V's like maniacs at the rest of the pub.
He then says in a very loud voice......""have that you cocknee cnuts""

We had my Dad's funeral on Monday and I would just like to thank you all on H&V for your very kind words over the last couple of weeks.
Many of the congregation wore anything Claret and Blue and the noses who turned up also wore the colours.
Thanks for that.
