He knows we’re the best club in the world. He might not have been born a Villa fan but he’s not afraid to show it now. Good for him. I hope he’s there in person to cheer us on.
TV every child born in this world is a Villa fan. It’s their parents ingnorance and misguided beliefs that leads to deviation away from the Villa.

We might have Nigel Kennedy, Geezer Butler, Tom Hanks, Prince William, Martin Shaw etc as fans but - as well as that Albatross-around-the-neck David Cameron - we have the ex-'adviser' to Theresa May - Nick Timothy - onboard!   We're double-albatrossed I tell ya!  That's why we seem to be condemned to sail the rough seas of the Championship for evermore!

I didn't know Martin Shaw was a Villa fan. I will see if my aunt remembers that. She was in the same class as him at school in Sutton Coldfield.

Ok so he's not a celebrity but he's still Villa

Click me
I'd love it if Kevin Bouchal gets to come over for a match (I'd be even more gutted than normal if we didn't win that one). It would be a reet good story with a happy ending, possibly only topped if one of the lads from the academy ends up playing for us becoming a future Villa legend.

Just - this incredibly thoughtful and insightful post from Olaftab deserves another airing.

Your mom will remember Tom Knowles then, I had him for French and drama, I have heard Martin Shaw talk about his influence in interviews. One or two years below me I think.

Jim Baines must be the most prestigious of that lot surely.
We can't let anybody else claim him.

I didn't know Bob Monkhouse and Greg Davies were Villa fans.

I wonder if Noele Gordon ever took her mate Larry Grayson to the Villa. I bet Everard and Slack Alice loved it 'up the Villa'.
