My mate found this on the interweb and sent it to me

Nice one.

Big Ron looks like he'd be better suited to the Saturday morning Wrestling.

I saw that on twitter and someone said it's mad to think they'd have both been in their early 40's at that point, younger than me now yet they look late 50's!

K'in hell. I'm nearly 60 and in a lot better shape than them two dodgy characters.

Not sure where exactly, but it's me at VP. My first game.

(I was subsequently told that my Dad had a fight with Staunton during a GAA game when they were in their teens, which might explain his expression - or, more likely, he was very drunk.)

Great photo Rory! My brother-in-law from Drogheda is the same age as Staunton and played in the same GAA team as him.

Talking of Villa related books Gangsters, Geezers & Mods will be on sale again outside the church tomorrow, via the author and one of the characters in the book (me and Kurtis). Crime, local history, youth culture, football violence and Villa. Or as the publisher puts it: “Mods, Mobsters and Brum-based Football Bovver!”

Please pop over and say hello if you’re on the manor.

Nice pic with the folks and I wouldn't worry too much about Staunton. One story I heard back in the day was of him chatting uninterestedly to four women in a bar in Dublin before finishing his drink and asking "Right, which of youse is coming home with me?" Seemed a rather charmless thing to do.

Charmless indeed!

To be honest, the friendliest football person I met that day was Martin O'Neill. Ian Taylor was nice as well.
