Watching proper Villa players.

[markus209]

I'm going along to watch. My uncle is playing in this, but unfortunately he's playing for Birmingham. I have a dilemma as to who to support. Blood's thicker than water and all that but I don't think even family can bring me to support them.

Who is your uncle?

Who is your uncle?

Ian Clarkson. Not sure how well known he'll be to anyone who doesn't follow Birmingham. He was their youngest ever captain he tells me (the actual team, not the all stars team.) he played for Stoke, Northampton and Kidderminster and Stafford Rangers as well as some other none league sides later on

He's one of the better examples of that lot. Not that it's saying much, but he's alright.

What kit do the old stars use ?

High praise that he can be considered "alright" despite playing for that lot. I like to think of him as an ex-Stoke player than a Birmingham one as he was 2 matches away from being a Premiership player for Stoke but they lost to O'Neill's Leicester side in the play off semis. In saying that I'd rather think of him as an ex-Kidderminster player than a Birmingham one.

This is off their website so I'm guessing this is the kit the Villa old stars wear:

No Paul Tait?

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

Is there anywhere you can hang banners?

[paulcomben]

Is there anywhere you can hang Frenchman?

[Clampy]

Sounds fun, hopefully it'll be a nice day. Oh and i hear there's a bar.

[The Left Side]

A bar could be dangerous with some of ex blues players.

Pity I'm not around I'd have enjoyed taking my lads to see what football was like when I was younger... you know – standing up to watch, being able to keep the top on your bottle of dandelion & burdock, vicious career-ending tackles from behind, thumping an opponent across the back of the head when the ref isn't looking.
Next time maybe.

Which buses go past Tally Ho?

[Dave Cooper please]

Which buses go past Tally Ho?

45 and 47, get off at Cannon Hill Park and it's less than a five minute stroll.

Thanks Dave - I think we're gonna do the 16 and 61/63 combo from the Jewellery Quarter/Navigation Street.

I guess I should be making sure that the camera battery is charged about now.....or I could have another glass of wine.
