I’m pretty sure that his dad was the Villa fan. Used to drink in the 3Cs on Chelmsley.

I grew up in Sheldon and went to school with a Frank Carsley so was wondering if they're father and son.

He seemed like a friendly enough bloke and when I picture him I always see him laughing but I didn’t talk to him much - I wasn’t as much of a regular as some of my mates as the whole city is my playground lol.

The Ramsey brothers are ready to pack a punch in taking Aston Villa forwardThe brothers were hard at it over the summer.At a deserted Bodymoor Heath, Jacob and Aaron Ramsey hit the weights, the treadmills, and the punchbags, their every moan and groan echoing around the vacant training complex.Staff were on their summer holidays and a large chunk of the first team was on international duty. It would have been easy for the pair to put their feet up and coast through the off-season.But like on so many previous occasions, the Ramseys sensed an opportunity.As kids, the brothers would combine football with boxing alongside their father, Mark, a former amateur national champion in 1989 who twice fought Ricky Hatton. Both have excelled through the ranks despite being small and slender as schoolboys. They made sure that size was never a problem.This summer, the plan was to work on their fitness and come back firing.Watching Jacob, 20, come of age in Villa’s 2-0 win over Newcastle United last month and Aaron, 18, make his first senior appearance in the 6-0 win over Barrow in the Carabao Cup suggests it is starting to pay off.
Decent first half. Chelsea taking their worst player off at HT improved them in the middle. I wish our manager spotted such things and acted as quick.
