Maybe we should explain to Randolf this is the esteem we hold our people in, Aston Villa are for life and beyond.

Holte Enders in the Sky!

to be fair - The Villa heritage part is what Randy does well. Its the football bit he seems to struggle with.
The McGregor statue was a Trust initiative, but it was with big thanks to Randy that it came to fruition.

Randy has shown more respect for our history in eight years than his predecessor showed in forty.

Just a shame about the present!

I know we take the mick out of the other fans, but I don't think any of them are as bad as damaging people's graves.

The incident of that nature that I can think of involved the NFL rather than football and even then, there wasn't any actual damage as such

Sorry to be thick, but are both graves in the same cemetery/graveyard?   

Yes, Brian, they're both at St. Mary's Parish Church, Hamstead Road, Handsworth.

I simply uploaded them as a favour for Mr Woodhall. I did not take these. I took the ones at the commemorative ceremony a few years ago.
