Bit of a tearjerker alright...Guess with a name like his from a town not too far away, I was bound to be a Villan after the man Deacy had paved the way. Certainly was how I felt when I first heard of him in my mid-teens, reading of how he had lived the dream I was still having. A dream many of us have had and held. A mere example but there must be a part of Risso and Drummond in their weekly 5-a-sides, wearing Villa shirts and feeling they are playing the part of their true self - one which leads Villa to another title; which just happens to be in a universe a little parallel to this...And great to see the main man, Mr Saunders give the stamp of approval to the subject. Wonder when that was recorded as Ron looks good and his shrewd self in the video.

I'm definitely more Lescott and Richards era Villa. Foot like a 50p piece.
If it looked a little like the FA Cup from a squint at a certain angle, well then you have won at life Sir Drummond.
