Anyone wishing they had a ticket for Saturday now? I cannot wait to pay my respects.
I've told this before but....We had a bad start to the last relegation season (87?) and hadn't had a win as we travelled to Leicester, we got off the train at around midday and, in those dark days, the Old Bill didn't fancy a load of Villa fans in Leicester City centre and promptly frog marched us to the ground about two and half hours early. We sat down bored and a few Villa players eventually appeared and started to warm up, after a bit SGT popped his head out and was about to go back inside when the 50 or so of us sang 'One Graham Taylor' to him, he looked round and promptly jogged over, hurdled over the hoardings and sat down amongst us for a chat. He was an absolute gent and had a laugh and a joke for 10 mins before concluding with 'right lads, you all behave yourselves today and get behind us, anyone got any final questions?''Yeah Graham, when are we going to fucking win?' came an enquiry.'Today lads, today'And we did, and kept on winning.God bless him.
Harry Harris, still in the gutter.

He was the guy who shouted the question. Another one of the gang I was with got thrown out. He had travelled to the game strait from getting on a plane from holiday in Spain and before kick off threw up in his sombrero!For what it is worth I remember it slightly differently to you. I don't recall Wazzy using the F word. I think he just shouted 'when are we going to win Graham'. Nev was sat with us so maybe he can confirm or deny.
