Apologies if this guy has already been mentioned but was mentioned in a podcast I watched recently that Eanna Hardwicke (who will be playing Roy Keane in the forthcoming Saipan movie) supports us.

Every other actor who appeared in Harry Potter seems to be a Villa fan.

Spizz is on 6Music with Craig Charles at the moment, a bit of Villa talk.

Eanna on why he supports Villa: It was completely by chance. My brothers were at their first football match in the early 1990s, and it was Oxford United against Villa - they were with a relative who was an Oxford fan.

Villa were a big team then with lots of Irish players like Steve Staunton and Paul McGrath, so they went 'OK, we are Villa!' And I copied them. We have no connection with Birmingham at all, but I am very happy to have inherited that - although one of my brothers is now a Liverpool fan, and the other one doesn't care.

I heard him on Five Live on Saturday explaining why he was a Villa fan and doing a Traitors inspired game which seemed to include Owen Thompson who turns up on Villa On Tour.

Prince William on Sky News asking young female footballers in Riyadh whether they knew of Aston Villa. Good man, spreading the Villa gospel in Saudi even when on official business.

I'm not sure spreading the gospel in Saudi Arabia is a wise move.

Good lad, saw footage of him on the news playing football there and was wondering if he got a Villa reference in. A bit of relief from the media shouting questions across at him about his dicksplash uncle.

There was a reason I phrased it that way. :)  What's the worst that can happen there?
