Apologies if already mentioned but the novel "Oi! Ref" by Joseph Gallivan written in 1997 is all about a top flight referee who used to be a Villa "hooligan". I haven't read the book for 20 years but if memory serves he makes regular trips back to Birmingham from London to revisit old haunts and reflect back on his years following Villa. I think some of his memories are based on actual incidents but I'll have to leave that for others to verify. I'm testing my memory but the finale is about his dilemma refereeing an important match between Villa and Rangers. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/6216867
