You heard that booing at the end? I started it - BFR after a home defeat to Oldham 1994At least we were consistent - useless in defence, useless in midfield and crap up front - BFR again, Boxing Day 1992 after a tanking at Coventry where he gave unused sub Nigel Spink the man of the march
Well it's famous in my family, anyway:"I hope Villa win, 66-0"My mum's been saying this to me before every game since my dad took me to my first match in 1966. She's 82 now and had to give up her season ticket last year having fallen and broken her hip. I'm 53 now but she said it, yet again, on the telephone to me earlier before my trip to Bolton tomorrow with my two sons.Ever the optimist!!
Another one from BFR when before the game with Coventry he was asked what reception he would get on the way to the away dug-out on his return to Villa Park. "Your not allowed to use the term Doug out at Villa Park".
