Thanks John for all of your stories. I’m ashamed to say I hadn’t realised quite how much you had contributed to H&V over the years, and even less so what you had done for the club. It’s been a great privilege to be able to learn about the many fascinating characters associated with Villa from your writing, particularly over the past few months on here.
With everything that’s happening in the world currently it’s easy to forget that what might seem minor inconveniences to some are life-changing events for others. We all contribute on this forum because football, and more importantly Aston Villa, are deeply important parts of our lives. We are all counting the days until we can head back to Villa Park, and I sincerely hope you do get the chance to see your beloved Villa play once more.
