He used to have a right head of hair, cracking keeper as well. Was he in the sticks when Kent Neilson beat him from 30 yards?

There used to be an Aston villa motel in Yamba, nsw, in 2002. I had a picture of it from 2002. we went back there on a rd trip a few years back and it wasn't there anymore. At least, I didn't see it.

The last proms highlights programme at the weekend had Nigel Kennedy on it, resplendent in his Villa shirt. A better class of fan.

Going off at a slight tangent, but has anyone ever heard of this store before?

https://www.ruvilla.com/

Would the original Villa (I assume AVFC) have a right to claim ownership of the name?   What makes me ask this is that I'm sure when Mick Hucknall tried to open a restaurant called "Barca" he was met with a legal challenge by the football club.

Nothing like a bit of law discussion to start the week.

A Liverpudlian girl I know posted her son's birthday pictures up on Facebook yesterday.  As you'd imagine, it was red strip, blue strip, red strip, blue strip....then right at the end a little chap kitted out in his new Villa strip.  Fantastic to see.

We ought to make Frank the site's roving foreign ambassador...although I think he already fulfils that role with the German and Italian Villains
