I couldn't be more chuffed. Arthur Dobson was my Grandad's brother. Family pride that his name will be seen at Villa Park. Thanks so much to all who made this happen.
I'll visit it to pay my respects every game.

Very very appropriate, parents can point it out to kids on visits to VP, without them and many like them we would not be living in our ''free''society.

That looks very good. Nothing but respect for those who gave their lives serving with our Armed Forces.

Well done to all concerned.   When we have a game on or near November 11th is there a clear space beneath it to place a poppy or two?

Yes, Brian. There is plenty of space beneath the plaque for tributes.

Thanks Leeg.   It will be a privilege to show respect.   I will even forgo my annual joke when asked to buy a poppy replying "no thanks I have kept mine from last year".
