He's always great.Agreed. And isn't he just.Much as I've got a lot of respect for him, I can't help but think he went to more matches when he was younger with every interview. He certainly didn't see Clyde Best play for West Ham at Villa Park. Poetic licence.

That is great. He's always great.
Gregg Davies in BBC sitcom the cleaner had referenced Aston Villa in one of the episodes.He wrote this comedy I believe so maybe he's a Villa man ?I think someone said he was also a Villa fan in another comedy Any way the scene was a Police officer saying why weren't you down the Villa on Saturday and Davies Character replied that someone was sick in his shoes!

It's a few years old now, but never heard of it before. It's got the wanker teacher from inbetweeners in it and the family live in Lichfield. Seen a few villa references in it and a villa tea towel in the last one. Not sure if the character is a villa fan, or whether it's the actor shoehorning villa references into the show?I believe the writers are Villa fans, so they made the character one too. Not sure if Greg Davies is a Villa fan though, I've never heard him mention it. Greg Davies is a self confessed blue nose. Shame that I quite like him. Is he? When did he admit to that dishonour?He's owned up several times on TV. Sorry I can't give you an example but I have definitely heard him say it. Well this is what he said 5 years ago on Soccer AM.Quote"I'm very excited to be on a football show because I know the least about football out of any person in the United Kingdom!" he told Soccer AM."The vast majority of my friends really love football and they've really tried to help me fit in, but I don't fit in. I mean look at the state of me!"It was mainly in the '90s really [that they tried to help me] - specifically during Euro '96. They wrote down a load of catchphrases for me to shout in pubs so I wouldn't feel left out, it was really sweet."One of my proudest moments of all-time was when I was in a crowded pub during an England match and I went 'Ince's doing well despite his Italian form' and load of blokes sitting next to me went 'yeah, yeah he is'! "I must of misheard or misunderstood something I heard him say to someone on a panel show (possibly to frank skinner) or maybe I've imagined the whole thing! Question: how the hell did you drag up a transcript of a conversation on soccer AM from 5 years ago?

I think he said he hated football.
Greg Davies is from Wem. I have no idea whether his caravan moves.

It's fairly easy to get mixed up with games several decades ago. My dad always used to tell me that when he first came down from Scotland, he watched Blose 3 Wolves 3 in the First Division then Villa 0 Orient 0 in the Second the next week. I've checked, and neither result occurred in the given season. We drew 2-2 and Small Heath won 2-1. Also, the Villa-Orient game was a month before Blose vs Wolves.
