Or just goto the statue of McGregor;  on a non-Villa note, I've always taken my o/seas colleagues to the Black Country museum and one of the Little Pub companies, like Dry Dock

You want to get a trip to the burial place of William McGregor too so that he can pay his respects - I think that's in Handsworth somewhere.

St. Mary's Church:

What is your plan of action?

Once he has finalised his itinery & I know the dates he will be up here I can then get some stuff booked up. He already has his ticket for the Liverpool game, but is not exactly sure wether it will be 2 - 3 days he is staying in Brum.
I will keep you posted.

A trip to Cadburys World, Bull Ring is worth a look if he is here for couple of days.

While he's in the area why not take in the Eiffel Tower and the Pyramids of Giza?
