You may not know the name but if you were a regular away traveller up until recently you will almost certainly have known Dave by sight. At one time he'd done around forty years without missing a game home and away and the list of countries he'd seen the Villa play in was about that number as well, but he didn't like to say so because he said people would think he was boasting. He was a lovely man and the world is a sadder place for his passing.
Was he a Londoner?
