I'm not sure how I'd feel if I was in the same situation and whether i'd be able to go at all. Not for a while anyway.


The reason i support the villa is due to my dad - we went everywhere together - my last game with him was the 2000 cup final and December the same year he was gone. Not a tear at the death, the funeral or any of the arrangements - 2 weeks later and my first game at VP - i broke down like a baby

Now i love going just as much as before as i talk with him at his stone ( i got him a paving slab outside trinity road) and think all the time about the convosations and arguments we could have over the new regime

I did the same for my dad after he passed in 2004. I love popping to the Trinity to have a look before a game, makes it a little easier. I then head to the Holte with my boys and shout my tits off.
