Villa players spotted while out shopping.

Steve Staunton can be found at Lichfield RFU watching his son on many a Sunday, trying to keep a low profile away from the Villa bores.

Are they like the Packington porkers? Villa's own line in gormet sausages running wild round the sports fields of Lichfield.

Not quite, although had Stan been at the Dads vs Lads challenge last Sunday I'm sure he'd have wished some of the know-it-all's had been on the barbeque instead of some of Packington's gourmet finest.

Seen Ashley Young in his local chippy in Hagley village 2 or 3 times.

Oldswinford Chippy is surely better and nearer... or the Broadway.... Judas bastard going into Worcestershire!

I think he did frequent the Oldswinford one. Not sure he'd even be aware of the one on the Broadway. I know a few people who serve in there. I'll ask.

Going back 30 odd years, I was working at a car park in Brum when Pat McMahon and John Gidman came in. Having confirmed who they were I sucked up to them telling them what a great Villa fan I was and what great players I thought they were. When I then charged them for parking they gave me some right stick. Can't blame them really !!

Not half as much fun as stalking them on a shopping trip though!

How's the snowman?

He's alright. Have got a pack of hounds at the ready in case those pesky foxes go for him again.
