Tim Oldbury
« on: May 17, 2021, 12:34:12 PM »
Passed away 1st May 2021 after losing his battle with cancer.  I don't know his exact age but I think he was in his late '50s. The last time I'd have seen him would have been our last home game before the lockdown, (I can't remember who that was against) he'd have been standing with his crowd as always on the right hand side of the central vomitory in the lower Holte as you enter it where we would always greet each other at half time with "going well isn't it?" or, "we need to sort this out 2nd half."  Tim was a big Villa fan, home and away for as long as I've known him which would be 40 odd years.  I wasn't a very close friend of his but we knew each other well enough as we were from the same area growing up in our teens.  The news of his terminal illness came as a massive shock to me and that was only given to me some months ago.  RIP Tim.
