It was only a joke.yeh right ...racism is hilarious I hear you're a racist now Villa.I have been going to Villa Park for over 30 years and can honestly only ever recall being in earshot of two racist incidents involving our fans. The first was when one of our own supporters shouted "come on you black bastard" at Dion Dublin and the other was when.someone went into a rant at Swansea fans and included "f*cking pakis and blacks " in it for some reason. Both times they were individuals who came out with it and both times our own fans around them confronted them about it. The latter situation turned a bit nasty and the club got involved after some complaints. So to suggest there is a large extreme right wing element is a little wide if the mark in my experience.I don't know how old you are Tom but, I can assure you that in my time at the Villa racism was at times particularly nasty. A couple of examples:'N****r,N****r, lick my boots'.'We believe in de Villa, whoa yea'. Sung whilst raising the arms and shaking the hands a la minstrel style.As for the bananas, well we won't bother going there.No one around in those days to put a stop to it. For someone like me and to be fair, many other people, it was disgusting, shameful and just so unnecessary.I didn't want John Terry at the club and it's a waste of energy banging on about it but, if Terry gives credence to even thinking like that even though it was in the past, it leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

He might be a massive racist, but he's our massive racist now.
See my earlier post about the 10,00 villa fans at west brom when Regis Batson and Cunningham got pelted wth bananas and everyone in hysterics but none will own up being there and laughng
Incidentially, there's a new film out about the tragic life of Justin Fashanu, documentary in the main - though it would make a worthwhile full biopic.
No I didn't throw bananas which happened to be a mob down by the corner flag I'm not a racist or a bigot But did you get the Ron Atkinson book for Xmas ??Did anyone on here ever laugh at the Alf garnett sitcom
