And 150 stars on the left of the new lion, which will give the impression that he is giving an explosive fartwork display in celebration.

German James' hippo badge, but facing the wrong way (so you can see it's arse), with 150 fart stars coming out. That's the badge for me.

If there is to be a commemorative game, the obvious choice would be the first FA cup final that Villa played in 1887: the opponents were the Bitters. I think this would be both appropriate for reflecting the heritage of the club and also a good poke in the eye for the bluenoses.

However, our first League game was against Wolves.

Who did we beat in the final of the Birmingham Senior Cup, when we won our first trophy?

Saltley College.
I knew that.
And I attended Saltley College (St Peter's College Of Education) from '72 - '75!
