Born in Solihull, spent first two years in Olton, just off the Lincoln Road. Dad moved us for work to Wordsley just north of Stourbridge and have lived in and around Wordsley, Kingswinford area ever since. Plenty Villa over here including all my six kids, so I'm doing my bit! But unfortunately we're still out numbered by dog heads and stripeys. Noses are a very rare sight round these parts which is of course a huge blessing.

I was born at home in Kingstanding but joined the RAF and moved all over the country and parts of the world spreading the Villa word. Settled in Peterborough and still live here.

Good question  i get asked this alot when people round here ask why i support villa as not many villa fans near me. My god brother lived in birmingham in the solihull  area. He was older than me so i supported who he did.

Spurs are probably my most local club and i detest them

I'm waiting for someone to pop up who was born in the Mosley hospital, Sorrento.

Always remember that there was a waste bin outside the cemetery gates..4'x4'x4'. Empty first thing in the morning. By 5 at night it was overflowing with empty cans of super strength lager and day to days all lay outside the gates off their heads.
