[avfcdale]

is it true that Fred West was a Vila fan?

No he was a Villa fan, stood on the witton end, but refused to go when they put the admission fee up to 2 quid

Concrete Fred

Apparently West would always be pointing.

Many moons ago my working life started with a glazing company. Whilst I was never going to spend my days in a van the apprenticeship I was on meant you had to do a spell in all parts of the business so I had a few months of actually doing the glazing job.

Our patch was Gloucestershire with a bit of Worcestershire and Wiltshire thrown in. Anyhow, one day we had a job in Cromwell Street.

The initial visit was to make safe a broken window and we went back a week later to shove a new double glazed unit in. I got talking to the home owner (we were 3 doors down from the House of Horrors).

He had lived there for years and recounted a tale where Fred the builder was skint one summer and did a load of gardening jobs for local residents. As the houses were old many had wells in the back garden and he filled them in.

He was either winding me up or has a scoop that the rozzers didn't investigate.

Well, well, well....

He was a hardcore supporter

[brian green]

He would have been bricking it this season.

[DrGonzo]

Get him on the board.  He could be the foundation of future success.

And the punathon ends here.

There is an excellent book about the case called 'Happy Like Murderers' and basically Fred was closer to inanimate objects than he was to any human being. Cromwell Street was a constant building site, full of lean-tos and extensions, made up of stuff he'd steal from work and roundabout. It's fair to say that even without the obvious, he was a strange bloke.

Thanks  Let's get back to pages of calling Randy Lerner a c*nt.

[mr underhill]

agreed, but as a final post on this from me Viz ran a strip a few years later called Harold & Fred (They Make Ladies Dead) which as you can image was either very funny or in appalling bad taste.

I read that a long time ago.  I still have it.  A good read.

I'm not very  surprised at this revelation

Bobby Sands as well. Apparently he used to get stick from fellow inmates in H Block for being a Villa fan.
