There were cards put in the Holte and Jay Forsyth's infamous flag display. After that night, Our Hero got increasingly irate over the next few years, seeing everything in terms of him being right and everyone else was a sell-out. He tended to get over-excited a lot.

I'm not convinced that'd be a good idea. We built the upper tier of the Doug Ellis Stand on top of the existing lower, but the lower then needed to be demolished. A complete rebuild I suspect would be best in the long run.

Haven't seen his name mentioned for years to be honest, he used to be all over Villa-related social media. he had loads of enthusiasm but as you say, mostly got completely over-excited. Wasn't he one of the main people behind, ahem, Villa Fans Combined?

It was a hoot.
Is he the same bloke that couldn't seem to spell 'the'?
He seems to have got properly stuck in at SSC
