no as far as I can tell, Dave never force fed Samantha crack cocaine and heroin. Let's keep politics out of it.

Are we going to have a vote who is the most likeable celebrity fan? The guy who helped his girlfriend become a junkie or the one who stuck his dick in a pigs mouth. Or Tom Hanks who only likes us because we have "a cute name".

There was an item by Eric Morcambe in an old 'Topical Times Football Annual' in which he said he was part of the same consortium. I don't recollect the other members but am very pleased that Pat Matthews' bid won!!

Well the recent comedians running us weren't all that so perhaps it was a blessing even if it did land us with Dug.

I never knew Eric Morecambe was involved but there's a story that Max Bygraves was.

There was a Max Bygraves/ Villa (I wanna tell you a) story on here recently wasn’t there?

There was, in response to a post of mine.

I think it was around the play off final last year. I mentioned that in the run up to the 2010 Phil Dowd shitout at making an important decision Gainst Man United day, somebody had posted on here about working in theatre with Max Bygraves in London at the time of the 1975 league cup final. He wasn’t sure he could get to the final and be back in time for the show so Bygraves offered his chauffeur and Rolls Royce to wait for him outside the ground and whisk him back..

I can’t remember the bloke’s name but somebody clever on here found the above mentioned post from 2010, tracked down a theatre poster or lineup from that show and deduced his name.

Re Stan Stennett, I saw him in pants around 1970 in Wolverhampton with Susan Maughan(sp?).. I remember my dad telling me of a Villa link but I had forgotten it. I think there was a Walsall link To Stennett too but that is far too obscure for my ailing quorum of neurones.

Apologies -false memory syndrome. Just checked- it wasn't Eric Morecambe it was Mike and Bernie Winters (but not Schnorbit)!!!

Max Bygraves was friends with some old Villa stalwarts - Harry Parkes, Stan Lynn, George Edwards - my father went on a  few " soirees"  with them

Cold War Steve is apparently a villa fan. Refused to sign his book SOTV for a blues fan who moaned about it on Twitter.

Typical of them that they'd ask for that. Their first thought is always us.

Why would the request even come into the head of a normal person?

It’d be like me asking him to sign it “fuck Keith” to remind me of my ex brother in law every time I open the front cover.

Brendan Gleeson is one of us, (Gleeson is a fan of English football club Aston Villa, as is his son Domhnall) - He gets my vote.

Closely followed by his son Domhnall, (He described the team's FA Cup semifinal win over Liverpool at Wembley Stadium in 2015, as one of the "great days of my life.)
