Not an heir, but when the golf-loving freeloader, Prince Andrew married his toe-sucking, binge-drinking freeloading wife, the Duchess of Pork in July 1986, well, we all know what happened the following season.
In the 1973-74 season when Princess Anne ( doesn't she work hard for a Royal?) married that chinless, grinning buffoon, Captain Mark, Villa finished 14th in division 2. Her second marriage was far more successful (for Villa at Least) when we finished runners up in the league in 1992-93 (typical Villa, always the bridesmaid...)
When the Queen married in November 1947, Villa were to finish 6th in the league.
Yes, it's a quiet day at the office today....
