If this was an episode of Eastenders it would end with the piano version of the theme tune rather that the standard one.

Or for older viewers, this would be the Paul McCartney and Wings "slowie" version of the Crossroads theme tune....

Seriously, I'll miss Dave frog-marching me to the nearest cashpoint machine to withdraw the money for his latest tome

A bit sad to see the paper version go. When I first started going down the Villa my old man always would buy a heroes and villains and anything else going, be it a witton wisdom or a missing Sid. If we ever missed an issue there was some magazine shop in town, where the Tony Hancock sculpture is now that would stock back issues, only a few mind.

We'd love reading the letters part as back then there obviouly was no internet and forums so it was left to letters pages and chats in the pub to run the rule over Villa matters.

Anyway, thanks Dave and anyone down the years who have put the time and effort in making the fanzine because they have been and still are bloody brilliant.

Surely it would involve Dave having one last look at his selling spot, before getting into a black cab and driving away.

I think we should ask the club to erect a bench in honour of the Dave W and the clan of sellers.

Like Arthur Fowler had at the allotment.

Sad news after recently formally introducing myself to Dave and Legion. Will try and get round to at least one of you others before the season's out.

If McGregor can have a statue, I don't see why Dave can't have one on the corner...

Congrats and thanks to Dave and all involved in H&V. As an infrequent visitor to VP it was one of the first things I would buy.

Looks like I will now have to get a sub for the kindle.

Here's to the next 25 years

With a slot in the head so that we can continue to make donations.

EDIT: Me being a dunce again, I really should take more care - this was meant to go on the post suggesting a statue.

You have to buy it on iTunes?!  That's like a cross to a vampire for me.  I buy all my apps in the Google Play Store.

You can get it on kindle fire too on amazon.

Ah, ta.

I think an erection in honour of dave would be going too far .

The club would probably have a picture of Dave on their website....in a Baggies shirt!

but thanks to all of the sellers in the past who have stood outside in all kinds of weather. Proper Aston Villa supporters.
