He’s a classy guy.  I’m no royalist but he seems to be a genuine fan.  Nice touch for Dean.

Yes, his position shouldn't even exist, but he seems to have a remarkable gift for saying the right thing. He seems able to communicate emotionally, as well.

And of course, he's a Villa fan! Tea and cucumber sarnies on the lawn when we do the double, I reckon.

Quite simply,he "gets" us.From the way he pronounces "Villa" to celebrating a goal like a loon. Heck,even a nose jibe thrown in.

Wait till he's King! He'll make Aston Hall one of his palaces and have garden parties after each game 🥂.

Actor Nigel Boyle who is in BBC Line of Duty's as Ian Buckles played a big part as a corrupt cop and exposed as a real villain last night's episode. The actor has a Birmingham accent
Funny he's also a Villain in real life as Boyle is an Aston Villa supporter.
Even in last night's episode there was a nod to our club with a company he owned called holte end holdings!

It's great when there are little Villa references like that in things!

UTV!

Phil Williams (who's also a Villa fan) was interviewing him on his show on Times Radio tonight. Didn't hear it but persume there would've been the odd nod to us on that.

Liked the way Wills asked Wesley straight away about his injury. The poor chap, with average English, probably wasn't expecting to be recognised let alone asked about something he had specifically gone through.

Yes was good on the late night 5 live show he did. Pretty sure one time he "accidentally" broke the news Lerner was selling before Lerner changed his mind at the last minute (summer 2014).

I didn't catch all of it but Nirah Chamberlain was on BBC Radio 4 just now talking about his passion for mathematics and.... being a Brummie... Aston Villa!

I've never been so monarchistic!

I love that video of him at the play off final with John Carew...I believe he was also at Norwich away with his family when we spanked them.

Radio 2 this morning.

Gary Davies: And now we're joined by Man United legend Lee Sharpe.... are you still a big Man U fan?

Lee Sharpe: I'm a Villa fan, have been since I was a schoolboy.

His lad was running around cheering at Norwich, some of their fans complained to the club about letting Villa fans into the home area.  :)

Hes from Halesowen. Celebrated like mad when he scored two at Villa Park in 1993 and recently said something to the effect that Grealish should join Man Utd. Thanks, Lee.

I heard that and laughed when he said "I'm a Villa fan"
